We’re Headed for Permanent One Party Rule [I Hate the Republican Party]

All Republicans have to do is win back the House next year, and they’ll be able to do that just by gerrymandering. Then in 2024 if they don’t win the presidential election fairly, which they probably won’t but might, then they’ll steal it. The Republican majority in the House will refuse to certify results in any states where it’s reasonably close due to “allegations of voter fraud”, so Biden or Harris or whoever else the Democrats might nominate would have to win [i]decisively[/i] in enough states to get to 270, highly unlikely to happen, and you can’t count on Arizona or Georgia this time because both those states passed laws that allow their Republican-led legislatures to overturn the will of the people. If no candidate reaches a majority of electoral votes (at least 270) then the House gets to elect the president, voting by state delegation, so Wyoming will get one vote same as California, and they’ll elect the Republican candidate no matter how badly he may have lost the popular vote. It will probably be Trump again, but if for some reason he decides not to run it will be someone in Trump’s mold with his blessing because elections since 2016 have overwhelmingly shown that Republicans who distance themselves from Trump lose and Republicans who embrace him win. From there they’ll just pass a bunch of voter suppression laws that make it ridiculously difficult to vote in urban areas, and soon the Democratic Party will have essentially no say in the government because Republicans will always have large enough majorities that they won’t need Democratic votes to pass anything.
Time for a general strike if that happens. Shut down the country, no food, no power, let’s see how long that lasts. Keep in mind, Biden will still be president and isn’t going to just roll over.

Very scary. Then we'll have a dictator just like the third world countries.

That how California is now, one party rule. And Palossi wants The Whole US to be the same.
It’s interesting. In markets we would say diversity and competition is a good thing. The engine for innovation and creative change.

With government we say it should be run like a business for efficiency. But both party nuts over the idea of single party rule.

Will be the downfall of the nation.

@CopperCicada The basis of the US governement is still a democratic system. And democracy entails plurality. If you can't live with plurality, then it shouldn't be democratic.

The biggest obstacle for republicans isn't democracts, it' RINOs. So no we wouldn't in actuality have a one party rule.
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@JP1119 Trump has supported RINOs, probably due to being coerced by ones already in his party
JP1119 · 36-40, M
@Rolexeo Coerced? You seriously think anyone’s coercing Trump to do anything? I don’t know what your definition of a RINO is, but anyone who sucks up to Trump and supports his racist, sexist, fascist agenda is not no Democrat or liberal.
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@JP1119 "racist, sexist, fascist" god, shut the fuck up already

Let's hope 👍

well, one side of the spectrum is just radicalising at a fast rate.
And these people have become heavily anti-democratic.
You either fix that problem or eventually you'll be fighting it out on the streets.
I am writing only because someone has to say that this is sheer, unadulterated nonsense.
JP1119 · 36-40, M
@LamontCranston Why? It sounds reasonable enough to me.
JP1119 · 36-40, M
@LamontCranston Thank you for adding nothing substantial to the conversation.

It's the best we can do without risking democracy. The only parties are the Dems and the GOP. No greens, no reds.

This is the nightmare scenario, and it's a real possibility.
Human1000 · M
@JP1119 Well, politics is tricky and unpredictable. Trump's numbers aren't good. He's old (but incredible genetics) so just don't know. Also, some of these laws could hurt Trumpians, too.
JP1119 · 36-40, M
@Human1000 I guess, but he still got over 74 million votes last year, and I don’t think Trumpians care if the laws hurt them as long as they’re also hurting liberals. Maybe it’s not a sure thing, but it still seems to me like the most likely scenario.
Human1000 · M
@JP1119 Indeed, and that's why I think your nightmare scenario could occur.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
None of this means anything. Presidents don't run the US. Or the world. The secret society does. All they do is follow the script as they are instructed to do. Nothing as usual will change.

@Zonuss I wanted to ask something... but as I was typing I found out that I really don't want to know. 🙇‍♂️
