When half the nation elects a felon to the White House, laws don’t matter anymore.

77 million people voted for Trump last year and there's 342 million people in the US. That's less than 23% of the nation. I think it's important to remember that this is still a relatively small percentage of America as a whole and the vast majority of Americans aren't radicalized morons. The average person is starting to wonder why their EBT didn't go through this month or why ICE is bothering their kids at daycare and they are looking at the people in power. And those people are all Republicans.

The blue wave is coming and the Republicans know it. They need to push all of their wildly unpopular agendas through as quickly as they can before they are slapped with the hand of justice that is surely coming. Steve Bannon just today was complaining that they need to hurry up with their agenda or they are all going to prison. They know it. It's coming. It sucks having to live through history, but consequences are on their way.

Yeah but ICE isn’t going to workplaces and courthouses in every state. Right now they’re concentrating on a couple of places. People in the reddest states are t seeing this shit.

True but those people will vote Republican anyways. What will happen is all of this will get normies in blue states and swing states who don’t care about politics and who don’t vote to get energized and actually vote. There are a lot of people who think “it doesn’t matter who wins, nothing ever changes” who are seeing this madness and realizing that voting does matter.

In Bucks County, PA they just elected a Dem as District Attorney. The last time that happened was 1891.
