The GOP will *keep* fundraising as their base in other states will DEMAND similar laws as to Texas. And Dems will say “this is very, very bad.” But they’re not going to DO anything. They’ll just hope people are stay pissed off and *frightened* until next November.

Oh for….

What the fuck are Dems actually supposed to fucking do? Where are the numbers to pass anything to actually prevent this? You want an expanded court? We can’t even get a 50 vote threshold for less contentious shit because voters didn’t come out enough last year, and now people are fucking rabblerousing to hand Dems even more devastating defeats next year because you openly hold them more accountable for this shit happening then the Republicans who are actually passing this odious shit, are actually the ones who rammed through these shitty justices signing off on this shit, and are the ones actually strongarming their way through voting law decimation to essentially eternal, untouchable power. What the fuck are we supposed to fucking do without the numbers?

Tell me, instead of holding the entirety of Dems responsible for the GOP’s (and 2 extremely notable Dem defectors) sins?
