Article: "The threat of civil war didn't end with the Trump presidency"

https://theweek.com/articles/983063/threat-civil-war-didnt-end-trump-presidency

A "what-if" scenario for when the House goes to Republicans in 2022, Biden wins in 2024, but the legislatures of the states that Biden narrowly won are Republican.

It'll be a train wreck. I'm not looking forward to it. Looking for real estate in Canada right now.

this was the last straw post for me of folks talking about the end of Democracy and moving to Canada and we are guaranteed to lose and no more Democrats ever.

It makes this place ridiculous and unworthy of participation at the moment.

I'll check back in later to see if things get better, but right now, seeing how easily people give up around here is sickening.

Got upset when some of us suggested that there was a real threat that Republicans were going to try steal 2020 by not certifying the election, or even trying a coup?

I am sorry that thw reality of the situation is uncomfortable, but we better have contingency plans for the different ways these things could go. Now that the Republicans know that their base wants to put liberals in pine boxes, things are not going to get easier.

Info on the HR1 campaign is at the end of the video:



As the former Obama staffers who run Crooked Media say, “without HR1, we’re fucked”.

Looks like one of my dem senators could use a little persuasion, as he thinks "filibuster reform may have to be on the table.” May, Senator?
