Attention Republican supporters

I have had the displeasure, as of most of us to witness the true vitriol of the right wing. Traitorous actions against this country cannot be tolerated, and the schemers must be addressed, tried and punished. That withstanding, I do hear a number of individuals, groups, and even democrats say not to blame the trump supporters, but welcome them and try to unite the country. My problem with this and other statements from people like Bill Maher, and others is this…..the trump/ right wing followers are all not stupid, ignorant people. Many know what they are saying and doing. My main complaint is the right wing usage of the 2nd amendment of our constitution. Yes, at one time, there was not a standing military in this country, and yes, our forefathers did fear and wanted to protect against government overreach. As I sit and think, isn’t this exactly what the right wing are doing now? Are they not committing government overreach by limiting voting rights, abortion availability, pushing to replace democratically elected officials with their own placed people?. If any right wing follower happen to see this post, and live in the poverty induced states of the republican south, want to march and scream 2nd amendment, then I suggest you don’t look any further then the party you support. That is the government overreach. You are never going to prosper under these circumstances. Why do you think the blue states do so well, and many of the red states are below averages in education, salaries, prospects……think about who you are constantly electing.

Where is the urgency?

Where is the urgency pertaining to the 2022 midterm elections. As of now, (12/7/21), we have 11 months before the midterm elections... yes 11 months is just 1 month shy of a year, but in politics, that's a very short time.

Where are the leaders of our party? What are their goals for this midterm? Who will be carrying on for any older members who will be retiring and sadly (hope not), passing away?

Will the Roe v. Wade court decision produce a blue tidal wave of women and supporters? we need to have a very active women vote presences this midterm.

We cannot allow another Virginia turnaround. The most important (imo) aspect of our party MUST be the retention and added majority of the Senate. Without the Senate, our presidents agenda, our committee chairs, our Supreme court picks, our removal of the filibuster will be eliminated, and the country will regress into the quagmire we were in a year or so ago. The Jan. 6 committee will be disbanded and all the findings will be shredded into a pile of slivered history.

Congrats to the many who will run for office this midterm, we salute and support you all.

Tell me your thoughts. Will there be a major blue wave or a red tide?
