There was a time when Republicans were the ones lecturing about how the federal government shouldn’t get involved in things states are responsible for — like running elections. “Where are they today?” Marc Elias asks. Stay in the know: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

The public doesn't understand how these people operate. That's why every book club in the U.S. shd read @mkonnikova.bsky.social 's The Confidence Game, a history of con artists. Also Babiak's Snakes in Suits. And Hoffer's classic The True Believer And @brianklaas.bsky.social 's book

This is NOT 👎 the Republican Party. This is the Trump Party. People need to stop 🛑 calling it the Republican Party, because it’s a LIE 🤥. Define “Republican” for yourself, and Trump CONTRADICTS EVERYTHING that Republicans stand for. THIS is why it’s been either sink or swim for the Republicans.

Trump is an authoritarian populist. He has a small oligarchy that controls the government, the media, and the economy. Trump has DESTROYED democracy and the republic. THAT is why November 2026 and November 2028 elections are going to be SO CRUCIAL for America. People MUST AWAKE from their comas.

The Republican party sold it's soul when they gave credence to this MAGA Prophet for billionaires. It wasn't hard after seeing how Boehner's contempt for President Obama, showed the singularity of mind to do nothing, en masse. Something Billionaires needed to control. Let's quell this now!
