I’m sorry but this implies that politics in the US under your Orange Overlord is “business as usual”!

In light of the fact that his poling has massively tanked since he took to his throne, I can easily imagine a scenario whereby he/ his GOP cult minions either (a) engineer a crisis & cancel the Mid-Terms or (b) engage in mass vote rigging so the GOP candidates all win by landslides!

This is your new #fascist political reality I’m afraid! Buckle up!

The #DemocraticParty messaging about #Republicans losing seats due to the #Trump Bill doesn't mean much because even if it costs the #GOP seats in the #midterms, the #Dems who replace them won't do enough to help people & will just lose their next #elections anyway. #DEMOCRATS AREN'T VIABLE OPPOSITION!

Newsweek · Republicans Vulnerable to Losing Their Seats After Voting Yes on Trump BillBy Martha McHardy

It's going to be really interesting watching the MAGAs tie themselves in knots trying to pivot to "The government taking away our guns is good, actually" once this lawless administration reaches that step in the Fascist Playbook. [1]

Will the NRA finally rise up against the authoritarian government, as they've long claimed as the justification for their gun fetish? They haven't done it in the last five months.

[1] Probable schedule: sometime between next week (due to "violent unrest in California and other places targeting ICE just doing their job") and just before the 2026 midterm elections are cancelled (or more likely "postponed").
