Republicans in the battleground states of Michigan and Arizona are paying a high price for their full-throated support of former President Donald Trump and his lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

    This is good news, but I worry that folks on the left might be lulled into a false sense of security. We won’t be done fixing Trump and MAGA’s mess for years to come and we’ll need every last vote and any help that can be given. I really believe complacency got us here and it will destroy this country if we let it.

      Complacency is a real threat. Everyone needs to vote to remove republicans. They want to change the rules so they can always win. If enough Trump supporters were in the right places of power last election, we’d have lost our democracy.

      Trump is a liar. But he is running a cult of fanatics. Ironically Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and he wouldn’t loose any voters. He was correct about that.

        Everyone needs to vote. Period. Doesn’t matter which side you’re on. If everyone actually in the voter rolls votes in person with ID, there’s no room for either side to claim it was stolen or manipulated.

          ~~in person with ID~~

          No, those kinds of restrictions only exist to disenfranchise voters.

          (Not sure why the strikethrough markup isn’t working.)
