Posts: 2344Jim Jordan Shit
When asked about Jim Jordan's recent announcement that he would not cooperate with the January 6th committee, Representative Adam Schiff said: "I have to say, I'm not hat surprised by it. He said he 'had nothing to hide', and then he decided 'Well, I guess I have a lot to hide'.
Jordan's weaseling days after the January 6th violent insurrection with reporters whether and when he spoke to TrumpShit is pure video comedy.
What is not funny, was his aiding and abetting in his University's coverup of sexual abuse in the wrestling program when he was a coach.

That's where the funding for all the tests and distribution of tests came from.
It's reminiscent of the phony Repub outrage over non existent Dem "defunding the police" after Repubs and only Repubs in the House voted unanimously to defund the police! LOL.

Nobody forbade registered Repubs from being present for or participating in any voting or ballot counting process in any state for any election.

The percentages I quoted were accurate when I wrote them. And as of this writing, those percentages off the all time closing high are even smaller.

BTW, wasn't that supposed 68% or so that you're now calling "70%" based on a 5 year return in the DOW?
So which Dem year did you have to add to Trump's 4 year term to achieve that result? Was it Obama's final year, Biden's first year or a little of both?

Hell, I could almost accept the pretend democracy and Repub style freedumb outlined in your post if Repubs were just as likely to produce as many positive economic results and as often as Dems.
But since at least 100 years of irrefutable evidence and data show Repubs are utterly incapable of producing even one Dem-like boom time economy and can only produce the significant and worse downturns, I just don't see a single solitary reason any patriotic American who wants the best and not the worst for the country so much as flirting with the possible outcome in your post.

Republicans have always been present and allowed to sit at the tables, watch and monitor the voting process in virtually every polling place in the country since longer than anyone alive to read this has been voting.

Posts: 1604This is what trumpers want
"Many Americans don't fear a potential slide into authoritarianism because they have no basis for doing so. Our oceans and hegemony have coddled us; we take democracy for granted. But democracy and the rule of law are not the normal state of governments, certainly not historically.
Authoritarianism wouldn't happen overnight, but authoritarian regimes have shown us a road map. Here's a picture of what it would look like here.
If Trump and his enablers get their way, how you experience your life would depend on whether you identified — and were identified — as a Trump Republican.
Identified as a Trump Republican by your bumper sticker, you would be more likely to get a warning instead of speeding ticket. You would gain the inside track for government jobs, grants, and needed permits. Decisions about government benefits, like unemployment and disability, would be more likely to go your way. Your children would be more likely to win scholarships and admission to their chosen schools. You would get more favorable loan and mortgage treatment and better access to scarce goods, the best tickets.
Regulations would be interpreted in your favor, or maybe just ignored. You could rely on the criminal justice and judicial systems to go easy on you, if not help you out.
If, instead, you were perceived as a Democrat, or just an insufficiently Trump Republican, you would experience the reverse of what's above. Tax auditors would focus on you. You would be more likely to be hassled by police, even jailed if you were too troublesome. Nasty graffiti might appear on your business or home. You would be accused of being un-American, a traitor. You would learn to keep your head down and be careful about what you said to whom.
Science would be interpreted or even suppressed to suit Trump Republican needs. History would be whitewashed to celebrate the regime and its version of events. School curricula and texts would similarly conform.
LBGTQ folks would closet themselves again. Fewer women would lead in government, business, or society. People who want to marginalize and discriminate against people of color, non-Christians, and immigrants would find cover to do so. Abortion and birth control would be illegal. Public education would wither as religious schools claimed more and more public funding. Air and water quality would suffer. Climate change would go unaddressed. The military could be used to put down dissent.
Again, not all of this would happen instantly, and we can't predict how far the Trump Republicans would go. But this is the path that they are on.
So if you are a Trump Republican, perhaps all this sounds great. Finally, justice for my many grievances. Maybe that's the country in which you want to live.
I hope and pray that the great majority of Americans will reject it.
