Why do voters tell pollsters that they support a liberal position by 60 to 70% but conservative politicians still win elections and never seem to be punished for blocking those policies? What does the survey say?

We had the most successful impeachment trial in our history! We had SEVEN Republican Senators vote for conviction! The Impeachment Managers demonstrated Trump’s guilt in no uncertain terms. MqQonnell said he was guilty even though he voted for acquittal. Most of the American people think he was guilty. Then, why do we feel so bad about it? The peak-end experience explains it all.

It is time to focus on the true problem of our democracy: Mitch McConnell. Once again, he is putting his personal political ambition above the needs of the country and delaying bringing the impeachment of Trump to a vote in the Senate. We need to call him to let him know that it won’t bring a GOP majority in the Senate in 2022. We’ll remember.

About all that’s left of Trump is his revenge on the country for his election loss. His revenge will be terrible, too, filled with pain, suffering, misery, and death. It starts with the #COVID19 relief and stimulus bill being gummed up by delay, bad faith negotiations, and the end of the 116th Congress.

Having an extreme narcissist in office is a double edged sword: he’s easily predicted, so you can predict how he’ll hurt you. It is Mitch McConnell and the Congressional Republican’s turn in the barrel. Enjoy some schadenfruede as Trump puts them over the barrel.

The WH and Mitch McConnell are fixing to try and delay and confuse until either the Dems cave and protect corporations from liability or no bill gets passed. Either way, they blame Biden and the Dems for whatever happens. We have to stop them. Contact your MoC and Tweet at Mitch!

The most salient feature of Trump is his mental illness, specifically, his narcissism. It explains his authoritarian urges, attempts, and aspirations as well as his plunge in the presidential polls and his approval ratings.

Well, brothers and sisters, here’s something for you to do: Indivisible’s Project Payback targets ten of the most despicable Repubes running for senate in 2020 and you can help get them defeated. Find out how.

The deliberate flaunting of democracy and the open destruction of it by the GOP just pisses me off. They are so sure that the electorate either cannot or will not hold them accountable that they aren’t even bothering to hide it. If we let them get away with it in November. If we don’t vote Trump and the Senate majority out in November, then we really are the United Fucking States of Fucking Stupid.

Rather long for a meme, but you know, it’s the Supremes! They are important. If I die with a 7-2 conservative SCOTUS split, I will personally haunt every mother’s son who didn’t vote, voted third party, wrote in a candidate, or otherwise helped the Ol’ Pussy Grabber get re-elected, I swear to god.

Here is the reason that no Republican will suddenly find their courage, backbone, or patriotism and stand up to Mitch McConnell and the Ol’ Pussy Grabber. They want the corruption. They want the fixed elections. They want the incompetent judges. They want oligarchy. They want authoritarianism.Putin has sold them on the Russian system of corrupt governance. Putin has bought and paid for them. They no longer hold democratic values.

Did you see that defense on day one of the impeachment trial? You try explaining that ineffective hot mess. This time we address the role of cognitive dissonance. Pray that I don’t have to explain the role of the Ol’ Pussy Grabber’s narcissism in it, that’ll be a mini dissertation.
