16. The fix is already in.

Wed Jul 2, 2025, 10:55 AM

Jul 2

What exactly HAS NOT happened yet on the Project 2025 agenda that would give ANYONE confidence that the midterms will happen and will be fair?

People who scoff at the very valid and real concern over this issue are either foolish, ignorant or simply not paying attention. We seem to have a few posters on DU who are hell-bent on insisting that things will continue as "normal". Well, "normal" went out the window a long, fucking time ago where Trump is concerned. I've seen nothing stopping him from doing what he damn well pleases, and I live in reality.

These posters remind me of the ones on DU who chastised the rest of us consistently to "give Garland more time". Well, four years later, we see where that got us.

So, don't bother telling me I'm worrying too much, I'm fearmongering, or I'm wrong. You won't change my mind. Because no one knows for sure until we get to the midterms, but something is obviously going on.
