I'm all for taking the country back from uneducated, low-info, low-IQ idiots, just as I'm all in on taking the country back from Republicans - but truth be told, they're pretty much the same thing.

(5,559 posts)They are numerous, organized, and not going away. Demographic inevitability doesn't seem to be coming, largely because fickle independent voters turn away from us and end up empowering the drooling horde.

VA has be scared shitless for what 2022 might hold.
If you follow the betting markets, PredictIt has R House and R Senate No at 46 cents. Meaning a 46 cents bet and we hold on to either chamber, pays out $1 and you more than double your money.

(12,879 posts)The right claims these as their own, but they are wrong on both counts.
In their hands those noble virtues are twisted and perverted for ignoble purposes that would be condemned by Jesus Christ and America's Founders.
They should do more than STFU -- They need to admit the error of their ways and do everything they can to repent and make amends.
But odds are they will only get worse. Their current trajectory is a bottomless pit.
