Sooner or later the GQP is going to run out of feet to shoot themselves in.

Rupert Murdoch has destabilized every English speaking democracy he gets a foothold in.

When New Zealand was asked why they don’t have this divisiveness, they replied “We didn’t let Murdoch in the country." - Chaucers Revenge

If you are Georgia (USA) please make sure you have voted or are about to on Tuesday. Want to make an even bigger difference, help someone else vote: Babysit, drive, take a shift.. whatever you can do so they can vote as well. It's important.

@OldCountryDoctor @Jule_B Yep, lots of us share this disgust and hope that Georgia elects the only man worth supporting. 🤞

If Warnock doesn't win tuesday, I'm going to lose it. His opponent doesn't even know he's running for Senate! WtELF 🤦‍♀️

Who was the last Republican President to win the popular vote as well as the electoral college.

Probably George Bush Senior. And that was a long time ago. That should tell us something about the actual makeup of American society.

How have we allowed the electoral college to ruin America like this?

@peeppeepcircus

excellent question. i wish i knew.

what i do know is that we are facing an increased interest in #fascism, both worldwide and within the USA itself. both #turkey and #hungary are examples of that

SLPC determined that the number of hate groups exploded exponentially.

@OldCountryDoctor @MrElias actually I was off by a decade.
Gingrich rose to power in the 1980s during the Clinton administration.
He forced Jim Wright out as Speaker of the House, and only left because of his own financial scandal.
But it doesn't change the fact he was the guiding light of the party for years after he left office.
