America is fundamentally unlivable and that will remain true for decades to come. The things that have been broken simply cannot be fixed.

At this point the federal government simply seizes people's tax money, pours it into the coffers of the president's family and friends, and does absolutely nothing to save people's lives or protect them. There is no reason to remain subject to that.

At some point the regime is going to begin openly exterminating unfavored minorities. There will be mass graves and they will televise all of it for pleasure and to incite terror.

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

Trump keeps promising a “big surprise” in the elections for a reason, he just can’t shut up about it.

States should not be denied benefits their taxpayers have paid for based on how their citizens vote, which is exactly what the regime is doing. The union has already been dissolved in practice. We need to dissolve it officially or we will be their prisoners forever.

Americans should have been massed in the streets nonviolently protesting by the millions for months. Instead we've seen a half day of protests roughly every six months. Americans don't have the stomach or desire to do what must be done to stop the regime, the people simply don't care enough.

newrepublic.comIf Trump Steals an Election, Here’s What to DoNonviolent rebellion has proven again and again to be the most effective way of ousting even a determined autocrat.

Anyone who voted for the wildly bigoted Laken Riley Act is a non-starter for president (or Senate leadership). That includes this guy, Kelly, Slotkin, Warner, and yes, Warnock and Ossoff. You must have shown more basic decency than that to be considered. This isn't hard.

"Trump would pay for the construction of a presidential residence and facilities on that land." Just like Mexico paid for the wall and donors, not taxpayers, would pay for the ballroom, right?

...facilitating Russian/Saudi/Israeli election interference, and deploying regime forces to intimidate voters at the polls. This is exactly why Trump keeps explicitly promising "surprises."

The vast majority of rural Americans are a scourge. These people need to be made to be ashamed of what they are, no more tiptoeing around them. They are scum and their states are cesspools. Treat them like the threat and the enemy they are.

This will absolutely work on many many voters, that's precisely why the regime is doing it. The people who actually decide our elections have proven they can be bought cheap.

Relative got a $500 check from US Treasury and a shocking letter full of lies signed by Trump and ending with "May God bless you". Basically a pre-electoral bribe. News reports say they're sending almost a million of these. Full text in alt below. (I told him to cash it quick before it bounces.)

The fact that people honestly think that these people are going to vote for Talarico next month is delusional. Texas is the way it is because that's how most Texans want it.

A huge brawl broke out at the Bass Pro Shop grand opening in Odessa, TX. From the looks of it, no one was seriously injured...

The totality of authoritarian moves before the midterms--a propaganda campaign funded by taxes, checks to buy off voters with public money and regime-friendly letters, increased gerrymandering, attacks on mail voting and voter rolls--are clear signs that free and fair elections will not be allowed.

"Redistricting could be the lifesaver either way – either minimizing the losses or the reason we potentially hold onto the majority." They don't even pretend to try to hold power democratically. It's pure authoritarianism all the way down.
