Free and fair elections are really not something I would be betting on for 26 and the republicans are saying out loud why. Because they are already doing the open planning for election interference and sham election result

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Ep. 18: September to Remember

Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID.
In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in.
How in the world are you going to check our voters?
Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon.
But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation.
For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections.

So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why?
Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five.
You talk about trade-off, right?
COMMON SENSE

Internalized misogyny is far more common than a lot of people seem to think, and for many it becomes an onramp to transmisogyny.

Maybe, just maybe the wrath of your ire should be Israel and Netanyahu. I don't know what you are taught, but take a good look around you. YOU are not relevant anymore. You don't have the influence that you have been told you have.

the USA is a fascist country

List of signs that tell you that your country is moving towards fascism: 1. Identification or scapegoats as a unifying cause. 2. Nostalgic lung for an idealized. 3. Disdain for intellectuals and the doctor. 4.Suppression of a free press. 5. Manipulative use or euphemistic language. 6. All dissent is equated with treason. 7. Protection of corporate power. 8. Suppression of labor forces. 9. Normalization of disaster sexism. 10. Contempt for the weak. 11. Obsession with national security. 12. Overfunding of the military. 13. Obsession with crime and punishment. 14. Unrestrained cronyism. 15. Dominant religion is coopted by the regime.

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.
