Thanks for the thoughtful reply. i genuinely fear that you are naive if you think the midterm elections will achieve anything. A republican bought the voting machine company used in I think 37 states. The gerrymandering is making it impossible for anyone other than republicans to win . The elimination of voter rights and mail in voting is eliminating most of those pesky voters they dont like and finally, over 40% of voters wont bother so only the extremist voted will count.

Trump said during the election that if you voted for him, you’d never have to vote again. People poo-poo his comments but pretty much everything he said he’d do he’s done or is doing. So on this one I believe him.

I think the midterms will be a Putinesque election where 98.7% of the vote goes to the dear leader.

it is genuinely time to worry. It’ll get worse after the midterms.

Fuck this doomer noise.

Get mad. Go vote. Drag your friends along, kicking and screaming if you have to.

Apathy breeds fascism. When you roll over and accept it, they win; that's their playbook, they want you to feel like it's inevitable.

But it isn't - all it takes is ⅔ of the population to stop fucking around.

So stop fucking around and do something about it.
