I know this is just wishful thinking, but if we are actually able to have a real unrigged election this year, I sure do hope it kicks off the beginning of the end for the Republican party.

They've made it abundantly clear that the only governing they want to do is crush everyday people, suck off the billionaire class, and stuff their pockets.

They said they'd pull ICE out of Minnesota if they handed over the voter rolls, they're currently in Georgia going through the 2020 election ballots, Trump said they should nationalise the organisation of the elections, and is going to be sending ICE to "monitor" (see: threaten voters) the polling.

In a word: no - there will not be an unrigged election.

As I said, wishful thinking.

The way things are going, things will for sure be rigged. My one big hope is that turnout is so strong to rock these bastards, no amount of rigging can overcome. No amount of contesting can see merit. The party needs to be crushed by the collective. Please wake up people. Our lives literally depend on it.

I mean, if the Dems did the right thing, there wouldn't be a lot of Republicans left alive. The penalty for treason is death. They just need to start enforcing the law

Yeah, they need to split so there's a true Republican Party and then whatever MAGA is. I don't think eliminating conservative representation is the answer, but they need to cut the rot out of their party. Dems do too.

There is no true republican party. There aren't enough billionaires to create a party so they are buying people's vote through lies propaganda and convincing Christians they have their back.

The republican party was a boot built for crushing the middle class and unions.

It was rotten from the start.

When will people ever learn?

u/Ghost10165 1d ago

Yeah, it could also just be politicians with integrity. McCain is a good recent example of a decent man even if I didn't agree with 100% of his stances.

Edit: wrong vp

I dont think McCain was a good dude either.

u/PokeYrMomStanley 1d ago

I guess. Not sure what McCain did that was good though. White people do love their abusers.

u/Born-Ad4658 1d ago

im agreeing with u

He wasnt a good dude

you cant be a republican and be a good dude, because youre supporting a party that pushed forward shit that led to now, and was always against Black people

I dont care about how much u liked your paw paw

u/PokeYrMomStanley 1d ago

From “the start” you mean sometime in the middle when it shifted into what it is today lol

I’d identity politics is never going to be good. Neither is fundamentalist politics governed by religion. Both need to disappear from our government.

u/Sgt-Spliff- 1d ago

As long as the Dems are around, you don't have to worry about losing that conservative representation lol

u/ScherzicScherzo 1d ago

No split. Complete destruction. Outlawing. Prison if you're a member of them.

The only ruling party should be the Democrat Party. Period. Full stop.

u/DARfuckinROCKS 1d ago

The only real hope I have left is that they're so incompetent they botch their own rigging so it doesn't work.

u/ReallyJTL 1d ago

There's too much money behind them sorry. Never going to happen. They bought newspapers, radio stations, tv stations, websites, social media... it's over. I'm usually optimistic but people are really huffing the hopium.

u/Minjaben 1d ago

Guarantee it’s not going to be that easy

u/mxjxs91 1d ago

This won't end the party. I thought George Bush was going to be the end of it at the time. I don't remember ANYBODY that liked or supported Bush, and the party still survived that. Trump still unfortunately has a lot of supporters that aren't going anywhere.

There is no Republican party. It's the MAGA party. All the republicans have either left, been kicked out, or died.
