We are still feeling the effects of the 2010 election
That election was so brutal…it allowed republicans to take over a lot of state legislatures, which allowed them to draw Gerrymandered maps at both the federal, but more importantly state level in 2011, which allowed them to continue their power, which has allowed them to gerrymander the maps again
The problem with the media
Is they treat and report on the current political climate and Biden’s Presidency as if we were living in a pre-Capitol riot and pre-Trump era.
ESPN suspends Sage Steele
Good! But that was her goal….she knew what she was saying and doing…she did it to play victim and yell ‘cancel culture’….she will pop up on foxnews or something similar like she wanted

Why is this woman still on ESPN
Jemele Hill was fired for delving in lot politics, but this lady still has a job….but she probably wants to get fired so that she can say she was canceled and then go on FoxNews or a similar outlet

When there is a republican president
And either a Democratic minority and/or majority in one house of Congress, it seems like routine legislation and congressional norms happen without Democrats trying to sabotage the president…we see this with the debt ceiling issue or even the Covid relief last year. Democrats could have let Republicans and Trump go out it alone last year with Covid, but they actually care about the American public and their welfare….you see how the third Covid package turned out without any Republican support.
Edit - and republicans know that, too
Republicans know most Americans are stupid
Take the raising the National debt issue for example. Biden laid it out perfectly this afternoon that this pays for stuff that was already promised (mostly by trump and the republican congress)…but a lot of people think this has to do with stuff that Biden and the Democrats have done or want to do. And they think since the Democrats are in charge they could easily pass it themselves and will blame them for the default….republicans knew this
Just look at all the dumb comments on this CNN link…I really need to stay off twitter

Seems like right wingers are more up in arms about Sinema's bathroom protesters
Than they are about the Capitol rioters…..now, don’t get me wrong, I think the protesters were dumb to follow her into the bathroom and hurt the cause… they were better off waiting for her outside the bathroom…but the hypocrisy is crazy…and then of course the MSM will both sides it like they are both equally bad.
Do you fear the U.S. will fall within the next decade
Or is it just hyperbole? Experts assumed it would be an external threat like communism, Russia, China, Islamic terrorism, etc that would bring us down….but it seems like this internal threat is very real and what’s going to bring down the U.S….:I just don’t see how we can survive much longer….these people were willing to throw out our votes, they stormed the Capitol, are willing to die by Covid just to own the Libs….seriously, if we couldn’t come together due to a pandemic what can we come together on? these people have been conditioned to hate Democrats for 40 years through Rush Limbaugh and his clones, then drudge and now his clones, Fox News and it’s clones, and with the onslaught of social media it has gotten worse….they don’t see us as countrymen, they see us as the enemy…it’s gotten to the point where the feeling is mutual regarding how I feel about them…I can’t stand them and look at them with disdain when I am out in public among them…polarization and divineness has gotten bad here to the point where both sides seem to want a split…
The silent majority
Republicans and MAGA people can’t believe that Biden received 81 million voters because they equate large rally crowds, boat parades, Trump flags and signs, twitter followers, F Joe Biden chants, tv ratings, etc as being a sign of being popular. They like to call themselves the silent majority, but those things prove that they are a loud and obnoxious minority, and that the 81 million people are the silent majority that don’t need to participate in that type of stuff
