    At what point do Democrats simply block any and all future republican nominee. Completely shut down the congressional role of advise and consent.

    If Trump wins I am pretty sure Alito and Thomas will retire. If they do and the Dems win the Senate, the Dems should block Trump's nominees for 4 years.

    We also can't compare these elections with the ones on election day. I don't read much into these odd day elections.

    Democrats have been consistently over performing in elections

    this guy lost by 9 points in a +30 district while spending 675k less in the race

    I also don’t think things like approval ratings hold much weight anymore like it used to back in 2016

    no right like abortion had been taken away back then when people were giving protest votes to Trump or staying home because they didn’t like Hillary

    MAGATs are not stopping at abortion…gay marriage, the Civil Rights Act, and much more are on the chopping block

    Did I ever think we’d have an abortion ban before it actually happened? No

    sh*t is real now

    this country is so racist that is was illegal for a black and a white person to get married until 1967 which isn’t even that long ago…it’s crazy when u think about it

    them going after interracial marriage would’ve seemed outlandish just 5 years ago

    “War on white America”: Influential Texas group hosting pro-Christian nationalism conference
    True Texas Project has for years worked with Attorney General Ken Paxton, Sen. Ted Cruz and other prominent Republicans.

    Speakers include retired U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert, two prominent Christian nationalist authors, and Paul Gottfried, a far-right writer who has for years collaborated with white supremacists and mentored neo-Nazis such as Richard Spencer.

    One of the sessions features the authors of two recent pro-Christian nationalism books, Stephen Wolfe and Andrew Isker. In Wolfe’s book — which has become a staple in Christian nationalist circles — he calls for America to have a "Christian prince" and laws that punish blasphemy and false religions, and claims that God is punishing the nation because of feminism — a “gynocracy,” as he calls it, that has destroyed traditional family values. He has previously written that Black people "are reliable sources for criminality” who need more "constraint" through policing, and that interracial marriage is sinful because "groups have a collective duty to be separate and marry among themselves.”

    Isker, meanwhile, has for years maintained ties to antisemites. He co-authored his book on Christian nationalism with Andrew Torba, who founded the far-right social media platform Gab and has often collaborated with white supremacists such as Nick Fuentes. (Fuentes, an avowed Adolf Hitler fan who has called for a “holy war” and “total Aryan victory” against Jews.

    Not so long ago is right. A lot of people on this board's parents wouldn't have been able to have an interracial marriage.

    they’re conditioned to hate black people in order to fit in as honorary white people

    On Jan. 21, Prieto told the source and an undercover FBI agent acting as an associate of the source at a gun show in Phoenix that he wanted them to help him carry out a mass shooting targeting African Americans at a yet-to-be-determined rap concert in Atlanta, the affidavit says.

    According to the affidavit, Prieto said: “The reason I say Atlanta. Why, why is Georgia such a f------up state now? When I was a kid that was one of the most conservative states in the country. Why is it not now? Because as the crime got worse in L.A., St. Louis, and all these other cities, all the [N-words] moved out of those [places] and moved to Atlanta. That’s why it isn’t so great anymore. And they’ve been there for a couple, several years.”

    He also said that he wanted to target a rap concert because there would be a high concentration of African Americans there and he planned to leave confederate flags after the shooting to send a message that “we’re going to fight back now, and every whitey will be the enemy across the whole country,” and to shout “whities out here killing, what’s we gonna do” and “KKK all the way,” the affidavit says. Prieto said he wanted to show “no mercy, no quarter.”

    there should be some sort of domestic terrorist charge that comes with a life sentence for scum like this…seriously
