    This is why there is no downside to impeaching Trump. You are never going to get through to these people. They are irredeemable. Sorry to pass harsh judgment, but these are members of a cult approaching Jim Jones level of crazy.

    exactly. They are gonna be anti America, anti constitution, orange god worshipping garbage with or without impeachment. Hell, it would do them a favor. They've become addicted to feeling like victims.

    Exactly. Watching Lindsay Graham, Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump eat the shit sandwich they have made of our country over the last 4 years is karma. I hope the circular firing squad continues.

    The real lunacy is those who blame Antifa/BLM for what happened at the Capitol. I go onto FoxNews on Facebook, and a decent number of "Republicans" blame them.
    I can find it a tiny bit plausible that a couple of those "types" participated (not that I agree), but to say that they led and dominated the insurrection is lunacy.

    In the immortal words of Lindsey Graham - "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed . . . and we will deserve it" (May 3, 2016).

    Nearly all those arrested for committing acts of violence and vandalism at BLM protests last year were all members of out-of-state white supremacist groups. They had a year-long internet-based organization to travel to the protest points and create mayhem to give BLM a bad name. It was well reported in all the legitimate news.

    They absolutely cannot bear the thought that their side can act like this. It's complete denial.

    As someone with Asian ancestry, I can attest to all of this.

    Sometimes I truly look forward to the day when white people are the minority in this country. When they are stopped by cops for being in a different neighborhood, when their cost of home loans is still far higher than black people, when they are less likely to get job call backs based on the white name on their resume, when they are followed walking into stores all the time, and when every damn one of them has to tell their kids that they need to be afraid of the police - do not run to them for help as they think you are attacking and do not grab your license because they will believe it is a gun. I do not wish ill on anybody but I look forward to everyone recognizing that the line between willful ignorance and explicit racism is oft quite thin.

    You are arguing with someone who calls trying to overthrow the gov't "going a little ape shit". You know you are not getting well thought positions from him, right? Go look at the GA runoff thread, you are trying to engage a poster widely know for being horribly wrong, on pretty much everything.

    Senate map looks very bad for GOP in 2022. Should gain a majority there.

    I think the stark contrast in presidencies and Congresses will show the great value of voting. I’ve seen a lot of pundits opine that the 2018 and 2020 explosion of new voters and young voters who have created the blue tsunami are not going away, are not going to become complacent. Not as long as the issues that brought them out are fixed (defeating climate change, fascism, and social injustice).

    It does seem Wednesday could have been worse.

    Zero tears shed when a terrorist is killed by law enforcement protecting the innocent from the terrorists.
