You know, the human brain was done cooking 50.000 years ago, late stone age.
What we have achieved as a species since then is attributed to accumulation of knowledge over generations.
Where am I getting at with this?
Well, if you are to dismiss education for a generation or two, you really should not be too surprised when you end up with a flock of MAGArons flinging rocks and feces.
Its like, right there, in the books, late stone age, look it up.
This is a self inflicted wound. Wonder if it can heal.

I'll believe it when I see an overwhelming rejection of the GQP in 2022 and 2024
Unfortunately, those 7m people were only 10% of those who voted for Chump in 2020.

IF those 7m voters actually defected across the aisle, sure...it would definitely affect many future elections, especially at the federal level.

However, I fully expect that many if not MOST of those 7 million people will go right back to voting GOP/GQP as soon as a candidate 0.5% more "stable" than Trump is at the front of the Republican party.

These people didn't "switch sides", at least not on a permanent basis. As soon as they have another Mitt Romney candidate, they'll be back to the high n mighty conservative mind.

LOL, the Republicans will forever be in power for all future now. States are instituting policies where the leadership can overturn the popular vote and sending their own people and that is just if ALL else fails.

I'd say that in 2028 the US will have a 98% vote for a Dear Leader and 2% voters heading for prison for treason towards Dear Leader just like all other nations where votes don't count if the leadership doesn't want them to.

Say thank you to Manchin and Sinema for that. Really, let them know how thankful you all are over it.

Not really, we've evolved quite a bit since then but our instincts seem to remain the same and that is what you are referring to.

The base instincts of the caveman brain is what they are using to make fascists out of decent human beings. It's why propaganda works, it's why blaming others works to create a common enemy. Göbbels knew that, Miller knows that and so does every strategist in the GQP.

Playing the strings of the lyre to lead people to their own inevitable destruction.

As if that actually becoming law anywhere has more than a snowball's chance in Hell.

Of course you'd say that because your mission is to flood the zone with a flavor of shit different from that of the GOP. It's still shit.

As far as their TAKING OVER and ignoring election results and sending in their own people.... it has happened before.
Remember those republican controlled states and in particular the state of Michigan with those emergency managers? It didn't matter what the people wanted or how they voted, the emergency managers simply walked in and took over EVERYTHING. Well, just imagine this happening when Biden wins reelection in 2024 then republican controlled states and their new voter laws take precedent. Yeah maybe Biden did win the state, but the state of Iowa or Georgia or Arizona knows what is best for the state and thus Donald Trump will be declared the victor. After all, it's written in Georgia state law. Just remember the emergency managers and how they were the final word. And if anyone doubts a republican controlled state would actually reverse a Joe Biden win come 2024 using the new voter restriction laws, well you haven't been paying attention to those republican controlled states.

No, it's already out there now, 75 million fascists and growing.

That's where you'll fight the next world war my young friend.

And what, pray tell, leads you to assert that it's growing rather than the opposite? You're just pitching a different angle on the divisiveness that's tearing us apart.

I wonder how many of you know what the basis for the U.S. Interstate Highway system was.
The same basis that eventually became the internet. That thing that represents 54% of the total US budget.

Sometimes those benefits extend beyond the military, as in the case of the interstates and internet.

Here is a Trump supporter


THJPVFCYLVAO7IDJOVZPKY2ZFI.png

Here is a picture of a MAGAron in his natural habitat, late stoneage ~50.000BC. Without access to "guns" it is known to throw rocks and fling its own feces. Keep windows closed.



edit : better clip :

Imagine what would happen to a minority citizen if they pushed a cop like that.

Given that EVERY voter suppression law has passed so far I'd say it's a good chance that those will too.

Sure, and January 6 was the end of that, right? It was just tourism gone wrong.... Get the fuck out of here you Trump apologist.

He's not a Trump apologist, but he's definitely confused about the real possible end of our democracy.

The numbers grew from 2016 to 2020 and the US has always had a knack for fascism and NEVER dealt with their fascists in ANY meaningful way.

You want to coddle fascists and play pretend Jan 6, the various calls to imprison political opponents, obstruction of justice and collusion with foreign powers, and the various court cases (still in FUCKING PROGRESSION) didn't happen you go ahead, but those who close their eyes to fascism are supporting fascism.

He's a Trump apologist of the kind that wants to ignore that anything happened because in his mind if you just coddle the fascists they can be reasoned with and the nation can "heal".

What he doesn't get is that they will win if you do that, their numbers will grow and I'm assuming he'll do the "I was with you all along and let me point out those who were not" schtick when that happens.
