Well, I don't see how the Republicans win nationally ever again. They are digging themselves a deep deep hole. Trump made it ok to get away with anything you want, as long as you deny deny. They just appointed serial liar Santos to 2 commitees. So lie about anything you want in the world..and as long as you toe the maga line..you are good. Lie about how many abortions you've paid for like Walker.. hey no problem. Remember the "moral majority"? haha...guess that didn't work..so now we do the opposite. No matter how big a scum you are, you are good..as long as you are maga? This country is f****d.. The GOP has the House because their policies were considered better than the Democrats. I know some are into the Cult of Personality but policies still do matter. Also, the number of True Believers are going down as a fraction of the electorate. So reason can prevail regardless of what the major media hopes for. www.politicscentral.org/once-again-independent-voters-outnumber-democrats-or-republicans/ Remember, voters mostly vote for the candidate they think can win the election even though they are not especially turned on by the candidate (Evidence Sleepy Joe getting the most votes ever ). When GOP voters get to pick who has the best chance to win in 2024, DeSantis will be very formidable. And if he wins the GOP nomination, he will likely win the Presidency. The GOP won the House because of extreme gerrymandering, which allowed them to sweep Florida races and gave them critical wins in district maps that were deemed illegal, but used anyway, in four states. The GOP massively underperformed expectations because their policies are decidedly not popular with the overall electorate. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/how-gerrymandering-helped-republicans-win-the-house/

No matter how big a scum you are, you are good..as long as you are maga? This country is f****d.. If this country's only/main problem was lying...I would sleep better at night...but my main concern is The Hand Maiden's Tale and the return of segregation...because you know good-darn well that if given the chance...right-wing supremacist would go straight there...but luckily...this country is NOT f****d....if we were Katie Hobbs, Herschel Walker and Trump would be in office today...this country is at an inflection point from what we were and stood for...which worked out quite well for uneducated white males...all they had to do was show up...and they got the job/position over any minority...from there to what America is becoming...liberty and justice for all...a multi-race/ethnic country...which means whites have to compete for jobs, leadership, and direction...a lot of right-wing whites just can't compete with minorities...thus their white supremacist ego/self-esteem is shattered...they are outraged they are not "given" the same opportunities as those before them...somebody ripped them off...a crime in progress...it's the minority's fault they're failures and it's the liberal education as to why they can't get a decent mate...even though...even though since birth they have had every opportunity to achieve...so, you know...there's going to be a lot of lying, hollaring, storming, and drive-by shootings...for things to settle in the inevitable new normal of what is America...who is American...and who decides where the country goes.... well...the throw backs are def. panicking.

Florida Blocks High School African American Studies Class"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration has blocked a new Advanced Placement course on African American studies from being taught in high schools, saying it violates state law and is historically inaccurate." " DeSantis, a potential 2024 GOP presidential candidate, has opposed what he calls liberal ideologies in schools, including lessons around critical race theory, which examines systemic racism and has become a frequent target of conservatives." "The law bars instruction that says members of one race are inherently racist or should feel guilt for past actions committed by others of the same race, among other things." www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/florida-blocks-high-school-african-american-studies-class/ar-AA16x9Ds?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=45e36641538b4dd584790bc7cb68c1f9This type of racial vitriol and divisiveness is the reason he'll never be president...how are you going to teach American history without the facts?...I'm waiting for a Japanese, Arab, Muslim, or German parent/student to object to how they are viewed in Florida textbooks...because they too should not feel guilt for past actions committed by others of the same race, among other things...

So, instead of writing 3 paragraphs...why don't you just say you are ok with Santos?..the volleyball champion. Because he wouldn't have been able to justify using the eye-roll emoji.
