You are so right. One way Rs took control of the country was by quietly going into states and actively competing at every level. We need to compete...and then ACTUALLY represent.

No the last line of democracy is when the populist cares enough and has had enough to march on frankenstein and remove it.

For this fight against authoritarianism, to paraphrase a well-known quote: "it takes a village...and all its leaders".

Democratic governors cannot veto Red State attempts to undermine democracy and the rule of law. You can't bring ethics to a gunfight

Sure, but how can we trust the Democrats to not bend a knee and allow awful things to pass like they keep doing?

Vote conservative officials, at city, county and state level, out of office. These are the vermin who support the PEDO racist, fascist who is destroying our democratic government. Vote in a BLUE WAVE that cleanses our country.
