Get ready to fill the streets if/when the fascists refuse to cede power
-
Get ready to harass the fuck out of your congresspeople to force them to do what needs to be done
Impeach, convict, imprison, and then start restructuring the voting system to prevent gerrymandering and then to dismantle the two party system. For a start.
Unfortunately only 'impeach' is on the table at the federal level, they didn't (and realistically couldn't) pick up enough senate seats to reach the threshold to convict in the senate. Hopefully reforms can be brought through at state levels though, and then when/if federal control switches back we'll be able to integrate those changes across the entire system.
Can i offer you over a year of governmental gridlock, no progress, arguments, yellow journlism and the people crying that despite the massive improvement it wasn't enough to do anything meaningful despite the best efforts of a handful people who really do actually care?
Cause its really all i got.
There are stores that ran out of champagne
sleep well tonight, because the next two months, while republicunts still control congress, might be brutal.
Don't worry the year after will also be brutal. Governmental gridlock is going to be legendary. A improvement to be sure, but OH BOY. This is going to be a shit show.
While I am properly pleased, I'm still waiting for another fascist shenanigan shoe to drop. They assaulted the Capitol while Congress was trying to certify the vote for president. This ain't over yet. Enjoy, but keep your guard up and be ready for the worst.
Make sure to keep going with it. It's all great, but the job isn't over yet.
I mean, Hakeem Jeffries will be the speaker of the house 🫠 closed door meetings with Kushner and all.
We also don't know the reaction yet from the regime. Did Iran "rig the elections?"
