Kale, your message is aggressive and completely unbalanced. I am far from naive, but I do not watch Tucker Carlson or consume Infowars propaganda. Your comment demonstrates that your view of the situation is terribly one-sided. In addition, you engage in a classic Gish gallop strategy, spewing line after line of distorted accusations, any one of which takes time and energy that I do not want to devote to you to respond to.

I understand every single one of the right-wing talking points you bring up, all of which are parroted over and over again on the Fox News/OAN/Alex Jones fringe.

Seriously, Trump is going to get massacred at the ballot box -- his only hope is voter suppression and the Supreme Court. Why do you think other republicans are running from him right now? Why else would he be campaigning in areas that should be solidly Republican already? His people know his support is collapsing.

The sad thing is that, even after Joe Biden is elected, things will return to normal instead of what I really hope for: that the Democratic Party breaks the back of the Republican minority once and for all. Voting rights legislation. Laws against gerrymandering. Rebalance the Supreme Court. Overturn Citizens United. Statehood for DC, and for Puerto Rico if they choose it. Maybe split some of the bigger coastal states to rebalance the Senate. Medicare for all. Progressive tax reform (tax the 1%). Smash the Republican oligarchs. All progressive, democratic reforms -- no 'socialism' or 'communism' like you whiners go on about.

If the Republicans can't reinvent themselves as a real conservative party, without the racism, white nationalism, Q-Anon nonsense, evangelical hypocrisy, corporate kleptocracy,... they'll just go extinct.

Unfortunately, Dems don't have the killer instinct like McConnell and the other thugs on the right. God, I would love to see that! Trump can go to jail or flee overseas. His kids will all get arrested (Cy Vance is just WAITING to indict because the whole family has been exposed as tax frauds, insurance frauds, money launderers, influence peddlers, self-dealers, etc. etc . etc.).

Get ready, Republicans. The Orange Mussolini is actually going to jail, like he's been baying about his opponents for years, because unlike Clinton and Obama and Biden, he and his family ARE actually up to their neck in the corruption.
