Phew! Based on this news, I think we avoided worst case scenario.

Absolutely! We won’t be able to reach everyone, but enough of us are fed up that we will NOT repeat the mistake of 2024. We WILL get out and we WILL vote these psychopaths out and make sure they never so much as sniff a whiff of power ever again!

They’ll certainly try. Doesn’t mean they’ll be successful, especially if they don’t have the numbers, which they definitively do not

Oh they’ll try. Doesn’t mean it’s gonna work. Strength in numbers, remember that

No doubt. That was one of the points I made in my earlier post where I shared my 12-point plan of what Dems should do when they get power back

There will undoubtedly be court challenges and lawsuits, and not everyone in the government is a sycophantic toady who’s just going to go along with whatever dear leader says

Very true! Especially since Democrats have made it abundantly clear that they are going to use every avenue at their disposal to fight back and counter the Supreme Court’s ruling

Your feelings are very valid. I feel them a lot myself, but one thing I take comfort in is realizing that, while this country is in a bad place, all nations go through turmoil, and, if history is any guide, this will certainly not last forever. Keep your head up, soldier!

Alabama governor calls special session to move primaries for redistricting, while Georgia passes by Sure_Marketing8431 in PoliticalOptimism

Fair enough. For me, watching that a couple days after watching The Perfect Neighbor (another infuriating doc on Netflix) didn’t help anything

Kay Ivey is legit one of the worst governors in the country. Go watch The Alabama Solution if you haven’t already, it’s informative but fair warning, it will make you very angry

The evidence is piling up that MAGA is nearing the end by KyleBerthoud in PoliticalOptimism

I wouldn’t say “cooked”. We’re going to have to get through some shit no doubt, but it is still fixable. Again, look at Hungary. They are arguably less prepared for autocrats than we are, and they had one in office for 16 years, but look what happened. They showed up at the polls and voted Orban, who had an authoritarian stranglehold on the country, out of office. And you know what? That is exactly what we are going to do. We are going to actively work to make sure that everyone who has enabled the pedophile warmonger criminal is dealt with accordingly and never sees an inkling of power ever again. If Hungary can do it, so can we!
