It depends on the policy.

Take Trump’s Covid policy, for example —

As a result of that policy, over 500,000 people died on his watch, and that number expanded to over 1 million as the continued impact of his policy overlapped into the Biden administration.

All in, you’re looking at 1-2 years.

Every Republican policy leads to varying levels of poverty, illness, misery and/or death.

This is not an accident, it is by design.

They usually give the policy a very benign title, sometimes even giving it a positive spin - but it always leads to poverty, illness, misery and/or death.

Fun Fact: not feeling great about thousands of leaked messages from young Republican groups, joking about reviving the scourges of our world history.

We are not doing our job well enough — not by a longshot.

I mean for fuck’s sake, back when I was in high school, young Republicans were just talking about succeeding in business & agriculture.

That was definitely a milestone in their long game, but this began even before Nixon.

Fun Fact: VIRGINIA’s vote needs to be resolute, a huge referendum on all-things MAGA.

Fun Fact: it’s time to stop asking “how did we get here?”

There was a long game that lasted more than five decades, and in 2015 & 2016 there was a quick escalation of lies and gaslighting which confused half of us and ignited the other half.

We know how we got here.

Now is the time to act💙🔥

Fun Fact: According to Mike Johnson, you “hate America” if your beliefs don’t align with his beliefs.

Mike Johnson believes in fascism, & is an enabler of fascism — but America is not a fascist country.

Mike Johnson is confused.

We don’t hate America, we hate fascism.

Fun Fact: Poopy Daddy tried to make fetch happen with Antifa in his first term, & he’s trying it again in his second term.

It’s not going to work, there is no known organization called Antifa.
