Stealing the election or not having one...plus they don't care about anyone or anything so why would they be bothered?? Its just another day of power for them..

I don't think the GOP congressional assholes would like to feel fear every time they step out of their gilded cages. Their lives would be systematically turned to shit.

Because their base shows up reliably and the Democratic party has a lower approval rating than Trump, and because they're working to rig elections by gerrymandering? Combined it means they can stay in power without doing any good for people, which suits them fine.

TO THOSE 37% W/TRUMP: WAKE THE FUCK UP. "MY GROCERIES AREN'T THAT HIGH", "MY HEALTH INSURANCE HASN'T GONE UP", "I HAVEN'T SEEN ICE IN MY STREETS"... IT'S GOING TO GET MUCH MUCH WORSE. GOOGLE SEARCH WHICH TRUMP POLICIES GO IN EFFECT IN 2026. IT'S A CON. VOTE Rs OUT NOW. YOU WON'T GET ANOTHER CHANCE.
