Do you want the United States to continue as a democracy? If you do you better vote and get everyone you know who thinks like you to vote, and vote only for Democrats. The Democrats are not perfect, in some cases they are not even very good. But they do believe in democracy, and the Republicans do not. It is essential that the House flip to a strong Democrat majority. If it doesn’t you are going to see your country become a christofascist racist homophobic anocracy. It is going to take a massive turnout because the MAGAts are going to turn out to vote because that’s what they want. The election of Mike Johnson, as Thom Hartmann makes clear is a disaster. And he has always been committed to the transformation of the country into something you will hardly recognize if it happens.

MAGAt Republican and now Speaker of the Housse Mike Johnson

The election of Louisiana’s Mike Johnson as House Speaker proves the premise that all the GOP has left are Donald Trump and hate.

As Congressman Jamie Raskin told reporters yesterday:

“Donald Trump has cemented his control over the Republican conference in the House of Representatives. He has a stranglehold on the Republican Party. Even as he faces 91 criminal charges and several of his election lawyers have pleaded guilty now to election-related offenses, one of his enablers on January 6 has just become the speaker of the House Representatives.”

    Right after his (Johnson’s) thanking the GOP for electing him, he made a comment as a leader is supposed to do, after this tragedy in Maine. Not a word about guns, but, oh boy, he could mention God! He looks innocuous, but this guy is just awful!!! He’s against EVERYTHNING your readers stand for. Just a note—–did anyone see Colbert’s song about “Johnson” before he came on last night? If you can find it, it’s just fabulous!!! Those writers are brilliant!!!!
