Let’s boost this far and wide! Not interested in any “this won’t work” takes - this is a battle of popular opinion, and if the public realizes that only 20 republicans stand between us and ending this crap now, that adds fuel to our movement.

    Right. This is like telling a shark that’s eating you, “20 teeth could end this now!”

    The 10 million Biden 2020 voters who didn’t vote for Harris - or even half of them - could have ended it in November.

    There’s a better chance of me getting put on the SSA’s Death Master File so I’ll no longer be a “parasite” on SSDI, Medicaid, and HUD housing. No…that’s most likely going to happen…

    Ok then, there’s a better chance that Pantera would reform. No…wait…that already happened with good replacements for Vinnie and Dime despite how icky I feel about the whole thing.

    Ok, fine…there’s a better chance that pigs will fly. No…wait…Mythbusters kind of did that numerous times in a way.

    There’s a better chance we find intelligent life on another planet and make contact with them that is peaceful.

    Point is, it ain’t happening.

    If this happened my whole world view would crumble and I’d have to check outside to see if was raining ice cream.

    I love seeing these starry eyed doucebags suggest these Nazis have any modicum of morality and that they must “fight for what’s right”. It’s funny.

    Republicans could have prevented this from happening. But why would they avoid exactly what they’ve been dreaming for decades?

    I mean, in real time this is futile, but it gives the rest of us something to point at to explain how much easier it is to go vote when you have the chance instead.

    You assume things aren’t going according to their plan. Why would they change something that’s their wet dream?

    Conversely, every Republican who doesn’t do that is guilty and should be dealt with accordingly.

        Sorry Arnold, you’re a fascist. Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, too.

        Drop the R. Split. That’s what you can do. Stop empowering them and actually stand against them.

          IMO publicly endorsing the democratic candidate in elections (and presumably voting for them) is the important part. Party registration doesn’t really matter.

              It’s not like those 3 elected Trump. Do you think the election would have gone differently if they’d deregistered as Republican? It would be truly wonderful if it were that easy.

                Who cares what they did during the election if since then they’ve voted in basic lockstep with Republicans on the nominations.

                  None of the three I named have been in office for a while.

                Perhaps I was unclear.

                Today, right now, this very moment:

                Anyone who still has an R by their name is a fascist.

                  I agree that they should get around to changing their registration. But not having done that bit of admin is hardly what decides who’s a fascist. Your “carrying water” criterion makes more sense and a party registration doesn’t carry much water.

      I think they cover that with step 1, elect a new speaker

      Though this is still a pretty sharp change in how things are playing out at the moment.

      We can absolutely give Vance a chance until he does something impeachable on his own.

      The only thing I truly know about Vance is that he’ll lie for power. If I don’t believe anything he says, how can I know where he really stands?

    It’s like the king of the hill meme, “If those [republicans had souls], they’d be really upset right now”. I feel like the republican party has spent the last several decades purging anyone who’s not a soulless husk

    This is possible. Republicans are getting yelled at by their constituents. No one’s tried to kill them yet, but they probably think that’s coming soon.

    I think it’s possible for twenty Republicans to get on board with this.

      Yes and no.

      Yes, he’s awful and deserves it. But the closer the message is to “Destroy all Republicans”, the less likely those on the fence are likely to do the right thing out of fear they’ll be caught up in the beheadings.

      Removing him as speaker and getting someone sane in the white house is a start.

      At this point, I don’t care what their party is or their opinions on the economy or Healthcare for all. Let’s just start with someone who will follow the law and not disappear people to concentration camps, and have the policy debate later.

        Actually didn’t think that far. Your second paragraph makes sense. Get someone to actually fix and make a difference as speaker.
