The J6 Hearings are not even half over, and we know that DJT “ordered the Code Red”. And while most all of us at DKOS wish to have DJT’s daily clothing match his hair, what’s really important is that these GOP-ers not be allowed to claim any mantle of Govt.; particularly this November.
The J6 Hearings are showing us that! And not only because of the actions by TFG’s WH, but even more so by the clear willingness of virtually all of the current GOP to worship power & party over Country. This whole lot is showing their willingness to deny Democracy, take any dirty $$, and subvert norms, rules, & laws to maintain their minority grip on the levers of American Govt.
And so I have a really big fear that, despite what J6 is showing us, the GOP still reclaims The House and that is one scary proposition. Please consider this very possible outcome:
1) The GOP House would not only NOT pass anything most of us Americans want, but they also go full Benghazi on Biden (and probably many WH Administration members — i.e.-DHS). And the real import will be more frustration by Americans and basically a rerun of Obama’s last 2yrs (and an extension of the failed 40yr Reagan Economic Experiment).
2) The Senate result (come Nov.) doesn’t matter much as the Filibuster will prevent even a Dem Senate from passing anything (not that it would matter, as it’d get blocked by the House).
Hence, a House GOP will deliver to unhappy Americans the same America we are still feeling and we will be vulnerable to the lies of DeSantis, come 2024. And Lying Ron sure knows how to be an autocrat. He’s already got a 50-person election police force, a 500-person militia, and much more.
A House defeat THIS NOVEMBER means WE Lose all chance at what we and most American want (and have been wanting) on:
Voting Rights, Women’s Rights, Climate Change, Gun Restrictions, Immigration Reform, Campaign Financing Reform, Gerrymandering Reform, LGBTQ Rights, SCOTUS Reform, Defunding support for Ukraine, and so much more.
There is more chance we suffer reversals on most or all of the above, than us gaining anything. Despite all that we now know, the Loudermilk’s, the Jordan’s, the Hannity’s, etc., are still denying that anything ‘wrong’ happened on J6, if they even admit it happened at all.
Face it. You, me, all of us, and all of our friends and acquaintances had better GOTV come this November, because if the GOP gains the House, J6 will be minimized, and the MAGA-GOP (& FOX) will be effectively empowered, emboldened, and feel vindicated.
MAGA doesn’t need DJT anymore; he will become (in effect) a martyr. DJT will be a useful idiot to the autocracy that the DeSantis WH will form and subject us to for years, and years, and years.
It’s All-or-Nothing come November, DKOS. I hope you all realize this.
