They will pay a heavy price. We will learn this November if the American people are going to self destruct.
Here are few things that will happen if the Republicans get control.
The House committee investigating J6 will be disbanded. That investigation will be replaced by FAKE Republican committees. They will start FAKE investigations. They will do everything in their power to disrupt, sabotage all investigations taking place right now. The far right extremists in the Republican Party will become emboldened. One of them could become Speaker.
They will put forward extreme abortion bills.
They will use their power to corrupt our future elections even more.
They will sabotage Biden's agenda. The Republican is completely corrupted.
The truth is right in front of the American peoples faces. If they can't see it or if they don't care, they will regret it big time. It will be a complete disaster.
Do the American people have to reach rock bottom before they wake up? That is the question and it will be answered this November.

So yeah, game over. Another failed "Great Experiment"!

(14,560 posts)I am 50+ and they have been screwing the country my entire life.
And EVERY election since I became politically aware in early 90s have been elections where this country needed to WTF up and put the insane genie that is the GOP into a bottle, and more times than not they find reason to give them free reign.
Just saying, while we might be able to pull it out in November, Rs will get WAY more votes than they should, and this country is absolutely stupid enough to put them into power on election day in the following election.

(4,616 posts)Everyone wants to place the blame. The Republicans, the media, the courts you name it. No one wants to acknowledge it's the US citizens that hold the power. Yet time and time again weather it's voting 3rd party, voting for R's or not voting at all, the citizens keep handing the keys to the kingdom to the R's.
This how I see it.
It's been stone cold obvious they are sick, corrupt, power hungry fascists for a LONG time. WAY before Trump took the party over

(16,886 posts)I realize not all people can nor have the means. But I have had more conversations in last few months with people who are already making contingency plans and have secured through familial ties passports to Ireland, UK, Poland, Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Israel, Canada and many more.
I even have a friend whose grandparents survived the Holocaust and her entire family this year obtained German Passports.
I have dual citizenship with Germany and live between US and Germany and have already planned to retire in Germany in future. But it may be early retirement if the MAGA GOP takes Congress and Senate. Mainly too so I can secure opportunities for my children in future.
Funny how we all worried during the W years about this needing to be considered
.those seem like tame times.

How we'll fix that problem, I have no idea.
