What a shocker, garbage people hiding out in the cesspool of America.
They've probably had a wonderful past few years, what with the living on the lam, no gainful employment, inability to live a regular life, etc. Bless 'em
The statistics being kept on January 6 is astounding.
More than 1,265 defendants have been charged in nearly all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
- Let's ponder this. Say for the purpose of discussion that this number (1265) is a fraction of the total that would support #45 no matter what. So lets think population curves, can we infer 10X (12,650) or even 100X supporters (120,650), or even 1000X (1,206,500). According to (https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/registered-voters-by-party) there are 210,000,000 registered voters. Simple math tells us this is approximately 0.57% of the voting populace. What is with the tyranny of the minority? They aren't the "Silent Majority", but rather The Vocal Minority. Why do we care? Get you and your friends, family, colleagues, neighbors to the polls. The GOP minority hates this one simple trick, VOTE.

  That's basically a meaningless statement when your math is based on a number you completely pulled out of thin air.
  
  Voting doesn't really matter much. The fascists have won.
  Dems had the White House and Congress for two years. They didn't do anything meaningful to stop the resurgence of fascism, but they did raise a lot of money ($80 million in fact) when it was leaked that Roe was being repealed.
  Now, Idaho is all set to fully criminalize abortion. Within a year or two, it'll be almost half the states.
  How does voting help exactly? Your basic human rights shouldn't depend on what state you're born in, but now they do, and it's because the Democrats in the Federal Government are more concerned about getting rich than fulfilling their campaign promises.
may they also catch fire
