The Republican-led House Oversight Committee was promptly ridiculed Tuesday night into Wednesday morning for its release of 33,000 files on Jeffrey Epstein; the vast majority of which, critics have noted, were either redacted or already public.“Literally 97% of the ‘Epstein files’ just released by t...
That’s where things are at for now; anything the GOP does to try to make it go away will make it worse.
Yes, people are leaving MAGA over this, and many others are less vocal than they were. Not everyone, but MAGA doesn’t have to shrink much before it’s no longer a political force.
They aren’t leaving MAGA, they’re leaving the GOP. They still want to do project 2025, etc.
And I still don’t think they actually believe Trump is involved.
But yes about the voting thing. However, the dems have lost a crap tonne, so it might even out. :(
They have no power without the GOP. It’s the same reason that the American Green Party has no power, just from the opposite side.
Haha Green Party. I forgot all about those Ruskies.
It doesn’t matter whether or not people “leave MAGA” , it matters how they vote. Are they fed up enough with it all that they would vote for a “Liberal”? Even one who’s not at all Liberal , but just has a “D” after their name? If not, then their “leaving MAGA” is just a temper tantrum with no practical effect.
They don’t have to vote at all. And absence of a vote is still helpful.
That’s a very narrow way of looking at democracy. Voting is only one thing you can do to affect change. It’s arguably not even the best way.
Since Trump took office, members of Congress have been talking about getting death threats if they don’t do everything Trump says. This has had a real effect on what Congress has done in response. To a certain extent, members of Congress always get death threats, but the amplitude seems much, much higher than it has ever been. This has had a real effect on what they’ve done against Trump–both GOP and Dems alike.
If MAGA stops their support, then that goes away, and it will have direct impacts.
It matters if we get some real reformers running and not controlled opposition.
Do you guys still think you are going to get to vote? That’s cute. Have you not been paying attention?!
No, there will be an election. The only question is how ratfucked it will be.
No there won’t be, there will be a dog and pony show instead.
