Agree. The current bunch of Republicans in the House, and probably the Senate as well, are like a path of crumbs left by Trump and his fascist influencers.

Agree. The current bunch of Republicans in the House, and probably the Senate as well, are like a path of crumbs left by Trump and his fascist influencers. If we Americans, Democrats/Independents/Responsible Republicans - as strange as that sounds these days - thought we had tough fights in 2020 and 2022, it was nothing compared to what is ahead. Trump's MAGA crowd has gotten control of too many state legislatures who have passed anti-democratic voter suppression laws, gerrymandered voting districts, and taken control of too many media outlets to give fair and legal elections a chance. For the Republican Party to support a complete fraud (Santos) just to grab one more place at the table says there is no standard of integrity in that political party. And for the Democrat Party to have been so lax to have failed to vet an opposition candidate demonstrates an equal failure which our democracy cannot tolerate. I once thought state elections should never be subject to outside financial support for any candidate. I've changed my mind. All Americans need to get involved in every election in every state. This past week has shown us how even a corrupt core of 5, who were insider insurrectionists to begin with, can and will hold hostage the government and political will of all of us.
