Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Never underestimate what the GQP will do to prevent anything resembling a fair election. They will purge voter registrations by the millions, gerrymander district maps to make them look like spider webs, and make registering and voting damn near impossible.
Republicans will burn the country to the ground to remain in power.
Don’t forget about rigging the voting machines!!
Dominion Voting sold to company run by ex-GOP election official
Georgia state election rigged by Republican election officials who wiped the servers clean after lawsuit and FBI investigation in 2017.

And of course, how can we forget about the Florida count being decided by the SCOTUS in favor of Bush when the count in fact showed Gore winning back in 2000!
Rigging and cheating elections is nothing new to the repugs.
And I always thought it should be more telling how the USA is run when you had George Bush, president, father of George Bush, president, but apparently people can't connect the dots.
Or making it a felony if an election candidate ever was fined for jaywalking or some other minor transgression ... perhaps even give them jailtime for it ...
Trump has 34 felonies and SCOTUS forced him to be on the ballot.
And didn't the Constitution plainly say he couldn't legally run, but scotus is not interested in that document constraining them anymore.
14th amendment. He enacted a coup, is straight up not eligible. Scotus decided that whoever wrote that didn't mention how it gets enforced, so whoopsies that part of the amendment is useless.
Whoa whoa whoa we can't ruin young Republican lives over minor transgressions.
It's okay, the laws will only apply to democrats
There will always be a IOKIYAR clause for such things...
They'll also start a war to remain in power. Fun.
Not "will". They always have, historically.
A foreign war? They can try, but we don't cancel elections for foreign wars, and it won't give maga much of a boost in elections.
A civil war against Americans?
I don't think they'd try, but if they did they'd fail. Like not just lose the war, they'd fail to start it.
Unarmed NG in a handful of cities is about all he can manage. Like, the only group he might be able to get to open fire on crowds is ICE, and even cops hate ICE more than they hate protesters.
If they thought they could do it, they'd have done did it by now.
They'll be a last minute desperate attempt, but nothing will materialize
Thats a pretty optimistic take. Hope you're right, for everyone's sake.
It's not just blind optimism...
There a lot, like a mind-blowing amount, of various reasons the US would be impossible to occupy, especially by a domestic force.
Like even protests, if they start cracking down we can just spread out.
Stop making protest happen downtown, and spread them out in the suburbs all around the city.
Spread the cops too thin, they'll be too scared to do anything. Especially if protesters have vest and rifles.
Sure sure more American bluster. And that's all it is. If they do this people well not stand for it.
History may look back and recognize that it's already started.
It never ended. It just went cold.
Were only 10 months in. They're still warming up.
He hasn't even been in power for a year and look what they've done. I would not put it past them.
Why do all that when you can just have ICE arrest voters in the queue?
And don’t get caught handing out water or snacks.
Why would they want to do this when each election they have a 50% fair chance of winning? The current system is as perfect for them as it could be, they cycle in power periodically through legal means
The GQP doesn't have anywhere near a 50% chance of winning unless they cheat, get activist judges to change existing laws, and flagrantly break the remaining laws. Because who's going to stop them, the Supreme Court?
Most Republican states have made voting harder since 2020.
Trump urged GOP-led states to redraw US House districts.
They won elections a year ago, the chance is indeed 50%
The Republicans have literally rigged the game and are making sure they are dealt winning hands, but your feelings tell you elections are completely legitimate and there's "a 50% fair chance of winning".
You completely ignored my comment, deny shared reality and supporting facts, then repeat the exact same nonsense. Are you Maga?
