QOTD -- "The Year Of The Pissed Off Voter"

 

"... Trump knows a blue tsunami is building. Which explains why he complains about being impeached again by a Democratic House almost as much as he worries about getting into Heaven these days. Trump’s attempts to cling to power by hook or by crook just might dwarf his efforts to overturn American democracy in 2020. He’s already floated the idea of nationalizing elections, pressured state Republicans to redraw congressional maps, dispatched his Director of National Intelligence to seize ballots in Georgia, demanded state voter rolls, and pressured his party to pass new legislation to force voters to show I.D. at polling places during the November midterms.

"Following his defeat in 2020, I described Trump as a snake slithering in a rainstorm toward the nearest sewer. Same story this time around. He is not just running scared. This is a full-blown Trumpian panic, compounded by his diminishing faculties and a team of cultists that would make Jonestown blush. The problem for Trump is that pro-democracy voters are no longer apathetically curled up in the fetal position, traumatized by the 2024 election results. This is not 2025. Trump has turned MAGA into 'Making Apathy Go Away.'  As I heard one senior democratic strategist recently refer to Trump’s movement, Americans are ready to 'cut off their heads and shit down their necks.'  [snip]

"The American people are starting to get it. They don’t want Russia - a country where leaders choose their voters, instead of the other way around. They hear Trump insanely claiming he’s won Minnesota three times in a row. They are baffled by his obsession over his 2020 election losses in states like Arizona and Georgia - places he won four years later. But more critically for Trump, they are anti-murdering Americans in the streets. And they are disgusted by his Epstein-Gate cover-up. Just look at the Economist/YouGov poll numbers on that. Half the country believes Trump may have something to hide. Yes, really. Poll: Trump Hiding Something on Epstein." --  former CNN anchor Jim Acosta, writing in "The Jim Acosta Show" on Substack.  The bigger the tsunami, the less likely the Malignant Fascist could sustain a coup/ voiding of mid-term election results.  That means we vote, and vote in numbers "like no one has ever seen before" (to quote a certain MF).
