Remember: Texas is not a red state. Texas is a massively voter-suppressed state, with a lot of people working very hard and very thanklessly to fix that.

Unfortunately, a good amount (even if a minority) really ARE looking for that.

The last time Trump slimed his way into the White House, his top priority was wrecking every decent thing President Obama did. It’s not like we don’t have the history to figure out that if he slithers in again, all the good Joe Biden has achieved will be destroyed. And quickly.

Nope. And it drove me crazy when supposedly liberal Dem relatives were making the same arguments.

It's this kind of thing that actually makes me feel even *less* anxious about the election. These jaggoffs can't stop making themselves look horrible.

I love how the news was like “we can’t publish this avalanche of accusations about Harvey Weinstein because they may not be true but does Biden have Parkinson’s? You decide”

In case you were wondering if CNN would eagerly fall for the lie that Republicans are “softening” their stance on abortion, yep, they did.

Please ignore the “How to Make Me a Raging Book-banning Dictator God King” plan written by some of my favorite advisors. That was in my “Don’t Brag About It Until November 6th” file.

As a young, poor married couple we went to one to get a 2nd opinion after ClearBlue Easy told us we were pregnant. We were never going to get an abortion, but it was still a bit off-putting to be bombarded with all of this propaganda.

One failed attempt at a shoe bomb and we all take our shoes off at the airport. One failed attempt at overthrowing our country and we still allow the guy who orchestrated it to run for President so he can do it again. Why aren’t we protecting America from right-wing terrorism?

The claim that Project 2025 is "fearmongering" pairs nicely with the Project 2025 people saying they will kill anyone who gets in their way

I think a lot of it, too, hinges on the belief that the country is made up only of the people who've traditionally voted. People saying "half the country" voted for Trump when really it's like... less than a quarter of the population as a whole.

Don't know have as much faith in my fellow Americans. Unfortunately, it doesn't take too many shitty-thinking people to fuck things up. Even some of my supposedly-liberal relatives are down on her for shitty reasons.

I fully agree with this - there’s an almost revolutionary zeal behind their efforts to run him out of office, they can sense that it’s possible so they’ve stopped worrying about what comes next or whether it’s an especially good idea.
