I feel like republicans are shoving

Their Authoritarianism down my throat as well as everyone who isn't them

The authoritarians are desperate to make us like them,to suffer them. Even while we resist they keep pushing.

We need to push all these assholes out of the house,Senate and presidency.

Authoritarianism and total victory

They are obviously parroting and hand carrying those terms. Too coincidental for so many of them to suddenly show up with the same words and themes

We're seeing the ugly final throes of an unsustainable ideology/idolatry.

Apparently, they have not read the words written by Benito Mussolini, who coined the term fascism to describe what he wanted to enact in Italy, a power structure in which the rich would bind their cords together to combine forces in order to control those they considered to be lesser beings who should obey them.

if they don't win, they lose a lot. for many possibly even their liberty.

i think the republicans who are not trump cultists see this as their last best chance to gain permanent majority rule of the country. they're literally fighting democracy and not hiding it well at all.
