Republicans have been lying and deceiving my whole life.

Remember "Trickle Down economics" where the money never trickled down?

Nixon, Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, Trump - all elected with dirty tricks or worse.

If the shoe was on the other foot, is this how MAGA would react? How quickly Jan 6th fades from memory.

Anyone who thinks the Republicans lying and deception is going to stop any time soon is delusional.

Are we supposed to play nice when they destroy Obamacare? Voting rights? Equality for LGBTQ+ rights? Climate change efforts? Gun control?
Be polite while they fill the courts with Aileen Cannons?

Were Germans supposed to be polite to the Nazis when they took over?

Assuming they get control of the House (they're favored - 80-90% chance when I last looked): what active legislation that was passed in the last 30 years can they not overturn?

It will be another 2-4 years of them consolidating their control over the election process, etc. Which will make it tougher to combat next time.
Do you really think the Trump admin will honestly report jobless figures, economic numbers, immigrant numbers, etc?
And I'm supposed to be polite when they don't?

This whole thing feels like we're heading into the dark ages and I'm probably not going to live long enough to see us come out of it. I appreciate people who are trying to put up a resistance. Every day of the campaign, I made an effort to combat this. My posts on twitter got filtered out so no one could read them - I couldn't even fight back online like I have in the past while this was going down.
Social media is corrupt. Established media is playing both sides afraid to take a stand. The judicial system is corrupt. Republicans are corrupt. The President-elect is corrupt and bringing in his corrupt buddies.

It is hard to find a place to fight back. Here, we're preaching to the converted.
This is as bad a political situation as I've witnessed in my lifetime.
I will NEVER accept it gracefully. NEVER!!
