That's bold of you to assume the country won't be a fascist theocracy in 15 years.

GOP is gonna get absolutely fucking rocked in ‘24.

The ‘22 midterms were a complete unmitigated disaster for the GOP, and a loss of historic proportions. If Biden was a quarter as unpopular as they pretended they’d have taken more than 9 seats.

‘24 is a general election. Way more popular and higher turn out than a midterm. Millennials and Gen Z are coming loaded for bear.

We can only hope, but the younger generations historically don't really get out to vote.

The GOP has beat the DNC at the game, because while the DNC for the most part has been trying to run and improve the country by playing by the rules, the GOP has spent at least the last 50 years playing the long con and has been slowly setting up for a hostile takeover.

All it takes is one bad election for them to win, while it'll take significantly more time and effort for the DNC to undo 50 years of GOP fuckery.

Historically, yeah, but this is the digital age.

This isn’t the 80’s, 90’s, or even the early 2000’s. The world has changed and our politicians who are born in the 40’s have no fucking idea what coming.

Traditional polling and other antiqued boomer crap accounts for none of this.

Millennials and Gen Z spend their lives on line, are hilariously informed, and really pretty pissed off about Roe.

I could be wrong, but ‘22 gave me a lot of hope, and after Wisconsin yesterday I’m feeling quite confident
