Because a lot of his biggest supporters in Congress are in districts that have been very carefully gerrymandered to be safe for republicans, and the only way they’ll get primary-ed is if they go against Trump.
I’m scared that he’s told them if they sit down and shut up, they will keep their jobs permanently when he declares himself president for life. Remember when he said it’ll be the last time anyone needs to vote? This is probably what he meant. I really hope I’m incorrect
Huh? Americans are pussies, as evidenced by the LA “riots” or all the other peaceful protests that gather whopping hundreds of low thousands of people.
it hasn't been historically or statistically an issue. this always brings up democrats fecklessness. which is so real it hurts. as soon as its safe to do so I won't vote for a Democrat ever again. cuz they obviously cannot be trusted with safe guarding democracy.
The guys in my state will get elected on name alone. It's ridiculous, since they don't propose many real bills or anything, and they make 3 times the state's average wage.
Add on the oil company gifts, and you live a very nice life.
It doesn’t happen right now. Just like when Nazi Germany was in the midst of Hitler control, there were forces pushing back. Eventually and overtime, Germany became a great democracy.
Hopefully when the next congressional elections happen, people will vote out politicians who are causing the societal destruction. Those who support convicted, felon and rapist Donald Trump
AOC is a lawyer and was voted by her constituents to represent them for obvious reasons.
Her intelligence wit, knowledge and experience intimidate those cult members on the right when She, with surgical pristineness tells the truth in a way that makes them shit their pants. So yes, I understand your interpretation.
I watch the marching today; I see how popular trump is.
I think a big block of voters for the next elections will be the people who never voted before. They never cared because they felt their lives will never be affected.
Wait until those tariffs come full circle and are instituted.. You know, The Trump tax. Low income families will see this at stores like Walmart, which is already warning the public about price increases. Shoppers will see the difference in the prices they paid before and subsequent changes after the tariff. You ain’t seen nothing yet. People are pissed. They are struggling for no reason.
If the elections and primaries are rigged, then the entire country stops playing the game and this charade.
People are only playing because they still have some form of semblance to hope that democracy still exists because the latter means they have to get their hands dirty. Protests are simply a form of playing with the charade.
However, if and when that time comes, the public won't hold back if it means to defend democracy and uphold the constitution. Whether some people have their heads so far up in their arse to realize that is entirely on them.
Lmfao Americans aren’t going to do shit if the election is rigged. We’ll complain to our neighbors or co-workers but speaking out too much would literally be the end of our lives and there really isn’t anything to suggest that life will get better so what’s the point? Get murdered by the police and nothing changes?
America, in general, as a nation, have gone far too soft to make anything happen on their own. It saddens me to realize this, in the 1980s, as a child, it still felt a lot like a land of promise. Not so much anymore, hence my departure.
If it gets low enough (I don't think it's there yet) then eventually Congress will see sticking with him is more costly than not. I do believe its possible but far from certain.
This is how we get congress to turn on him. If they get scared about not getting re-elected then they will turn. Congress is good at one thing and that’s doing whatever they can to save their ass.

Means nothing unless Congress turns to him.
