"...Biden might need to supplement his democracy message with a broader argument: namely, that MAGA Republicans bring violence, disorder, chaos and gridlock. The MAGA wing of the Republican Party, after all, broke the tradition of a peaceful transfer of power. It actively rooted for a default and then a government shutdown. It brooks violence against law enforcement, peddles conspiracy theories and refuses to accept the legitimacy of court cases against Trump.
"The pandemonium surrounding the selection of a House speaker points to the party’s inability to govern itself, let alone the country. We can expect plenty of other MAGA outbursts and mayhem with this faction’s nihilistic approach to politics — including, for example, the baseless impeachment effort against Biden — between now and the 2024 elections. Biden would have no trouble making the case against agents of anarchy, destruction and dysfunction..." -- WaPo columnist Jennifer Rubin on the "all-purpose" message for President Biden and Democrats heading into the 2024 election. We know there's a large built- in cohort of Christofascists in this country who applaud and support the "anarchy, destruction and dysfunction." It's baked into our politics now. But they don't represent a majority and likely never will. The message of what the Malignant Loser and his MAGAts have brought and will bring in the future should be a powerful one, if only with the voters yet to make up their minds -- as boggling a thought as that is in 2023.

Doesn't matter if they're a majority, This time next year, only republican legislatures will be allowed to act as electors.
