I have a feeling no matter who the GOP runs, the democrats are going to win the 2028 election. I also think it's going to be very lopsided, like Reagan's election in 1984. The GOP will probably win Texas.
This amount of blind deaf stupidity to the issues prioritized by their voting base isn't going to end well.
I wish Bernie was younger. If Bernie was able to run in 2028 he would be the president our country needs. But he will be lucky to finish his current office at his age. The democrats will probably nominate someone dumb and we will end up with two cartoon characters running for office, and everything will keep getting worse.
In case you’ve missed it, these folks are a symptom not a disease. A good portion of the populace are evil and their party is working to gerrymander and cheat harder than ever before.
I love your optimism that we will have actual elections.
I wouldn't count on that. The GOP has the billionaire's money for campaigns, which no number of other peoples donations can match. And a ridiculous number of people get all their "information" from GOP nonstop propaganda (FOX News and other MAGA dominated networks)
Texas is threatening to turn purple. They may not get Texas or Florida.
There's too many large cities in those states that'd turn them purple. They'll still win no city states like Montana
In all seriousness, do you really believe there won't be incredible amounts of fuckery in the 2028 election?
