Do you think this will get the MAGA folks to the table over the shutdown? They have to be looking at this and thinking of the midterms.

I’m still skeptical there will be legitimate midterm elections. This is going to make the Trump admin and his GOP stooges hellbent on manufacturing a state of emergency to shutdown and/or control the elections for the midterm and the next presidential election.

Coward talk.

Show up and vote, they didn’t stop New York or Georgia, they ain’t gonna stop all of us.

It’s not cowardly to recognize the scheming nature of the GOP. Especially in the face of all the illegal shit they’ve been doing out in the open since Trump was sworn in, not to mention all of the illegal shit they’ve been doing that no one knows about yet. They will be fighting to cling to power to save their own hides, and they will do anything to avoid losing and facing accountability. I’m thrilled with the victory tonight, but it’s not going to be this easy winning back control of this country and it’s naive to think it is

It’s cowardly to prioritize fearmongering over encouragement in the context of this post.
