Your subheading is exactly correct.

The question is, in this cataclysmic struggle, which side will win in November?

Whoever does will have a deeply significant impact everywhere, in every way.

Give $25 to Jamie Ager, running for Congress in my district in NC. His odds are good!

They are after securing the repugnant party being in power in perpetuity so they can drag America back into their new slavery surveillance era! We The People are having None of it! While we’re at it these criminals have committed treason therefore they have created an opportunity for America to rid herself of the majority of the racists and white supremacists! We’re going to take it as directed by Our Constitution!

What they are trying desperately to “win” in these next elections is the raw power to reshape our government against the rights and interests of the people generally (think: Project 2025) and the raw power to enrich themselves, i.e., to exploit the people’s wealth and resources for their own selfish profit. Those are the 2 goals.

May karma hit them hard.

It is bizarre watching confirmation hearings and seeing the prospective appointees refuse to acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election. It's frustrating that, as far as I have seen, no Democrat has called them out directly by asking "So your loyalty is to Donald Trump rather than the Constitution?" Because that's what they are saying...or not saying. The closest I've seen to anyone truly take them to task was Senator Whitehouse with four prospective judges. He was the most aggressive and he could have, should have been even more aggressive.

They don't care if it's meaningful. Winning is everything to them and we've already seen that they won't hesitate to abuse any power they have.

Their fear and indifference leads them to believe they can instill control. The fact that the DOJ serves Trump and The Constitution no longer, cements this.

The focus is on cheating. The focus is on moving the goal post the focus is on winning without any skill or any effort, but to cheat lie and steal. There is zero honor in any of that. People must wake up and realize what is at stake.

The only way these fucking crooked criminal repuglicans think they can win is to cheat. That's all they do. They suppress voting rights, try to stop mail in ballots, change the rules that have been around for hundreds of years because they are all losers. Well come November they will be really sorry because the people with brains will not fall for their shit. They have their heads so far up MFSOB dumpty asshole trumpty 💩 ass and do what he says. Well they should be very afraid when their terms are up and they lose their reelections. I am heartsick over the way my country is now. This is not the America I grew up in. They will all be sorry for listening to a shithead who thinks he has power over them. The people and their vote have the power. Remember that when you all do illegal things to appease your supposed cult leader.

You are asking such good questions. Just look at where we are. We have a petty, vengeful, felon, rapist thief as the president of the US. What does that say? He can't accept anyone's ruling on anything - not the court and not the people (elections). If someone has an opinion he doesn't like, or says something he doesn't like - he throws a tantrum and stomps his feet and sues. He is prosecuting Comey over 8647 when he called for (in writing) the execution of the senators who suggested that soldiers should not follow unlawful orders (which is in the constitution). And E. Jean Carroll where he has gone to court twice and she has won by jury both times. Instead of paying her, he is now getting the DOJ involved trying to change the rules. I think he truly believes he is a God-King and is running the world. I am hoping and praying that the midterms will be won by such a landslide that he won't be able to contest. Or that republicans in Congress will stand up and say this is wrong before he finishes completely decimating the country. He needs to be escorted out of the WH with all his gold-plated garbage asap. He is an epic disgrace. I am embarrassed.

It doesn't matter what they're 'winning', it only matters that they win and can pass whatever the hell laws they like.

Good points as always. They are manipulating and believe they’ll win. The tell for me is that DJT, et al don’t seem to care how horrible, cruel, crazy they are. They are sure that they’ve got the election fixed for them to win. One cannot act as disgustingly, unless they know that their behavior does NOT matter:(

I don’t think the MAGA concern is one that involves having a wave of popularity.

At this point the goal seems to be putting forth policies and laws that benefit a handful of billionaires.

Based on the way things are going, it looks as though this mission is well on its way to being accomplished.

Trump would not get elected if he didn’t cheat.

It drives me crazy when people talk about ballot integrity. Here is the process: I work at the poll location. You enter your location, your identity card with photo! is scanned into my machine , which is not connected in any way to the internet but plugged into an electric outlet, this generates a ticket which you take to another individual that uses a hand scanner, this tells the printer what type of ballot you need,, you take it from the printer to a station

to mark your ballot, then you take it to a ballot counter, insert it there, it tells you your vote has been counted, no one but you touches the ballot! The paper ballot is dropped into a locked box to be kept for 30 days. It isn't a key lock but a zip tie that automatically tells election officials the box has been violated if it is cut.
