      I think you’re absolutely right. Jordan won his election with over 69%. He is in no danger of losing his seat. It’s beneficial for him to run around screaming and throwing political hand grenades. There’s no incentive for him to try and negotiate with the white house or Senate. It’s a long way off but I really hope the house flips big time in the next election.

      Their entire goal is to repeat history. They want non-white people back in the fields and women back in the kitchen. They want to go back to a time where only rich white men have rights.

      And the rest of the government, the rest of the media, the rest of corporate America and the rest of the country along with them. If they aren’t actively supporting it, they’re more than willing to stand aside and just watch it happen.

      Everyone wants to head towards a fascist future … if they work hard enough and with continued dedication, they’ll achieve it.
