    If any of their gerrymandering schemes fail because of what you describe, the Republicans will claim that Dems must have cheated, and refuse to accept it. Like this time, I think actually refuse to honor the results.

    They know that they simply cannot lose power, and I believe we are going to see as-yet unseen levels of fuckery to that end.

      Oh, absolutely, “They Cheated” is their standard response to any loss. The problem is that Dems then take that claim seriously, and want to have a discussion and investigation about it, giving it credibility, instead of just saying “Go fuck yourselves.”

      Let them scream, who cares? If we win the House, then we control it whether they like it or not. Any MAGA politician who refuses to allow new Dem Reps enter the Capitol should be immediately arrested, and if they resist, treat them the way they like to treat prisoners.

      If they won’t turn it over, we will take it. Violence is entirely up to them.
