    Yeah they want one party rule so they can do whatever they want forever. People will get more and more upset with the things they do while in power but won’t be able to stop it so they’ll stop participating which will guarantee even more Republicans win. They want to make the Democrats non existent, they would have already made them illegal if they felt like they could.

    The more they push the more I think the US will not last that much longer, maybe a decade, and then it’ll split into multiple countries. People who are liberal and leftist on the west coast can only be so useful if the feds ruin everything they do, so they could split off and make their own thing, as has been talked about more and more recently.

      It would be the messiest split ever, considering there are blue economic strongholds in most of red leaning states, and red rural areas feeding the cities throughout the blue leaning. At a macro level all the states are co-dependent, everyone fails if the union fractures.

        There is no clean way out of it. Split, civil war, fascist dictatorship crackdown, world war against the US, war with Mexico and Canada forcing the US collapse, sending every possible minority to a concentration camp and ruling for decades only to eventually collapse like all fascist dictatorships do. There is only messiness in the future.

    it’s interesting to observe that Democrats are not stepping up their efforts to sway voters and win gerymandered districts, but rather “play politics”. There’s a distinct vacuum in US politics where working class has been completely abandoned by republicans and democrats, where republicans are busy enriching themselvesband democrats are busy enriching rich donors who in turn shower democrats (with small exceptions) in kickbacks etc. Whoever seizes workers can have next election, but no politician seems to be interested. It really looks like Idiocracy v1.0 is in the works.

      There will be. Keeping the US House around is to help legitimize fascism. “What do you mean we’re gutting the legislative branch? The US House and Senate are still there and you still voted for them”

    I don’t think that will happen. They are running out of fingers to point fast, once they rule for two presidencies in a row and can’t point their grubby fingers at Democrats anymore they’ll be dealing with a full scale revolt. Their policies prevent them from lasting a decade because they are so harmful.

        They want a revolt “of the left”, they don’t want starving and desperate citizens banding together no matter creed. And I’m tellin’ ya, they’re cooking up a recipe to get Mussolini’d with their own destructive and corrupt actions.

    Where are the country paralizing months long protests against this to ensure democracy survives?

    America and Americans are a joke
