i think that republicans are going to win the house too; that will give the republicans control over all three branches of government and i hope that they're as good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as democrats are.
I hope they are too, but they’re definitely not. They’re gonna nationally ban abortion, amongst many other things. If anyone thinks otherwise, they’re kidding themselves.
I like to imagine that there would be uprisings, like the kind with molotovs, if a national abortion ban was passed, but I think the not-right is too disorganized. It's all very handmaids tale.
And aside from infighting, there's a lot of people clinging to "we should follow the rules." Rules don't mean much if only one faction is following them.
Moderates have always been the allies of fascists.
And the fascists (formerly proto-, now overt) haven’t been following the rules for a good 25-30 years now.
