With Trump’s help, Republicans across the country are sowing doubt about next year’s congressional elections—and gearing up for 2028.
Special elections in Florida and Wisconsin have suggested that voters are already fed up with the Trump administration and point to the possibility that the 2026 midterms could be a blue wave. As Trump’s failures continue to mount, Republicans have good reason to fear a backlash.
Perhaps this explains why Trump is intent on bolstering the election denial movement, which has lately notched a number of key victories. On March 25, the president signed Executive Order #14248, “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” which neither preserves nor protects our elections but rather undermines them.
It is a clarion call to Republicans throughout the nation, who are being encouraged to question the legitimacy of any election loss and ultimately establish a permanent electoral advantage by challenging and removing eligible voters from the rolls. Now, with Trump’s executive order, they have insurance: a way of tipping elections in their favor by choosing the voters rather than having the voters choose them.
My hope is that congress gets huge wins (despite the very expected interference from the GOP.) A Dem congress should absolutely clog the system and start the battles that this FUCKING inept GOP congress should be doing.
Trump is overreaching for power that belongs to congress and is ignoring the judicial branch. Someone has got to rein him in or we won’t make it to 2029.
That won’t be enough.
The point of a speed bump is to slow the car down and fuck up the underside if they don’t. Same applies here
Look at the Dem voting pattern in the past few months. They’re part of the problem. They won’t save you.
If that’s true, nothing will. We need not only Dems, but independents and GOP voters that realize they’ve been swindled.
Voting won’t save you.
Voting also isn’t the only option.
Recall that there are four boxes of liberty.
I know ballot box, soap box, and ammo box. Is the fourth one a coffin box?
You forgot the jury box i.e. jury nullification
“Eyy what murders? I didn’t see no murder. Brian Thompson just fell on some bullets.”
There’s a saying about the western front of WW2, “The war was won with Soviet blood, British intelligence, and American steel” though over simplifying the whole affair and the contribution of the Czechs, Poles, Norwegians, Danes, Belgian, etcetera the point is still broadly true. I say this to point out that the destruction of fascists is a multifaceted operation and that decrying the use of a tool no matter how small is foolish.
Ideally we will be able to vote them out and then get to lynching the sons of bitches, but only using two tools is unlikely. But well as Cincinnatus once said “Hope for peace, Prepare for war”.
I think that saying is just the British patting themselves on the back. It was mostly just Soviet blood that liberated the camps.
Exactly. The public needs to be in support of this. Relying on Dems will not help. They are not on your side either.
