So defeated lunatic Kari Lake is enthusiastically embracing defeated lunatic Trump's call to "terminate" the Constitution to undo elections they lost.
Meanwhile election denial is the major reason Rs blew an easy chance at a genuine red wave.
Kevin McCarthy's reaction? "I VOW MASSIVE INVESTIGATIONS INTO TWITTER TAKING DOWN HUNTER'S DICK PICS!!!!"
@Kem Their lunacy is bad for the country. But yes, it's also bad for the Rs in electoral terms.
@RationalLeft I used to think so until I see that they truly belonged to the fringe. Then it’s a good thing that they are exposed. Like vampires under the sun. I never thought that kind of lunacy and vile existed until Trump brought it all out. Now we know what we are dealing with.
@Kem Well, as of today Trump is directly demanding the suspension of the Constitution to allow him to retake power. Kari Lake gushed praise for that demand.
Just after election denial cost the Rs most key races in the midterms.
So yes, this is both dangerous lunacy and very bad politics for Rs.
@RationalLeft “Don’t panic” lol. Not that our job is over. But at least it’s a relief to see that the alternative fact people are not the majority. I like it here. Less chaotic than Twitter. I only check Twitter for breaking news. I hope one day I can do the same here.
@Kem To be fair, that was my avatar *before* the midterms too... because panicking/despair are really never helpful - there were always ways to keep pushing back against the wannabe fascists.
But yes, the midterms made it a LOT clearer that a key majority cares very *actively* about rejecting the lunatics. That's a very big help.
@RationalLeft please share news that comes your way.
@RationalLeft Why? Didn't Kevin get a good enough look?
@RationalLeft I think we should let them go full lunatic. All lunatic candidates lose.
