This is ALL of the republicans who were voted in. They control everything related to trump. Democrats would have impeached trump for all of his illegal acts.

Republicans need to grown a spine. That party is no longer accountable to the country except to trump and his mega cult.

Thereโ€™s no coming out once youโ€™re in the fascist closet, and boy are they, as authoritarian and as fascist as it gets. Went to a great Indivisible meeting today and guest speaker was Dr Mark Davies, who is a professor at Oklahoma City University. He is very proud of the fact that OKCU is, so far, the only university in our state who has signed on with the other 623 or so higher ed institutions who have vowed to stand against trump and his vicious attacks on higher education. Hopefully a few more will follow, though Iโ€™m not holding my breath in OK. Anyway, he gave a great talk covering many things, but his section on the 14 traits of fascism, and specifically American fascism, showed we are solidly in 13 of these like nationalism, militarism, disdain for human rights, scapegoats, controlled mass media, religion and govt intermingling, obsession with national security, protection of corporate power, suppression of labor, cronyism and corruption. The only one we donโ€™t really have in the sense of say, Russia, is fraudulent elections. Anyway, Iโ€™d say we are definitely neck deep in the MAGA AMERICAN FASCIST PARTY. Fucked unless we get busy and take back our freedom, and truth and happiness.

Fraudulent elections like Russia, we don't really have??

See Election Truth Alliance for proof that musk rigged the election for trump to steal.

Also Vigilante Inc doco details how over 4 million votes were lost due to suppression and other interference - ballot boxes burned, 200 bomb threats called in etc

They cheated from every angle to ensure the steal. They're both criminals headed to prison of course they cheated. Musk then destroyed all the consumer protection agencies investigating him.

Andrea: according to election watch, we have #14 as well. Lots of good evidence that the swing states votes were not honestly tabulated.

They were not, but the Dems didn't demand recounts and forensic audits because optics. SMH.

No one knows what to do or how to do it, I'm guessing. More Republicans in Congress becoming MAGA. Democrats, Independents will be gone. 36% voters are MAGA, as of March!

Republicans also need a sense of what is right and what is wrong. That seems glaringly lacking right now...
