The Republican party leaders have not disavowed any of this. It's a direct result of them radicalizing their base. As the article says roughly one third of the American electorate believe the election was stolen from tRump and Biden isn't the real president. That leaves two-thirds of the electorate that doesn't. The GOP just might end up getting people killed but I don't think they mind so long as they get what they want.

'Americans Are Casting Midterm Ballots at Record Rates, Which Means the Results Might Take Longer'


"In 2018, with Donald Trump in the White House and Democrats desperate to regain power in Congress, nearly half of eligible voters cast ballots, achieving the highest turnout rate for a midterm election in more than a century.

This year, the turnout could be even higher.

According to University of Florida professor Michael McDonald, who tracks the early vote for the United States Elections Project, at least 6 million Americans have already voted, a rate that surpasses the 2018 turnout at the same point in October. “If things remain as they are, we’re going to come down and say, ‘Yes, this is an exceptionally high turnout election,’” McDonald says."

Women are pissed. A landslide is coming.

Doug Muder of the Weekly Sift has contributed a superb essay summarizing how the Republicans are now the enemies of Democracy, who must be defeated in this crucial election: https://weeklysift.com/2022/10/24/cl...cracy/#respond

Inflation it appears is a world wide issue.

C-19 has continued it's effects. I just don't see how a President could do much anyway, then add a congress and senate stagnation. Be different if we had a King....

Guess that is what the GQP is wanting.

The question is how do the US voters view inflation?

It appears a large group believes it sucks! Especially when your working pay check to pay check. Most expect easy answers and solutions. Have a tough time understanding or taking the time to learning the root causes and fixes of inflation.
Glad to place the blame instead of getting answers.

Time to send the 86th and the 101st airborne into Arizona and shut this shit down. Send in an armored brigade with Apache AH64 air cover, too.
