Former Trump campaign chairman and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told his podcast viewers that Republicans should take Tuesday night’s losses to heart, saying: “The midterms start tonight, and the warning signs are flashing.” He observed that “Democrats just flipped two Georgia commissioners,” marking “their first statewide wins in 30 years.”
Far-right influencer Mike Cernovich (who spawned the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory) tweeted: “Ted Cruz and Mark Levin are walking Trump into impeachments and then prison. 2026 will be a blood bath.” MAGA podcaster Jack Posobiec likewise warned that “2026 will be worse if we don’t course-correct.”
Never underestimate what the GQP will do to prevent anything resembling a fair election. They will purge voter registrations by the millions, gerrymander district maps to make them look like spider webs, and make registering and voting damn near impossible.
Republicans will burn the country to the ground to remain in power.
Why do all that when you can just have ICE arrest voters in the queue?
Don’t forget about rigging the voting machines!!
Dominion Voting sold to company run by ex-GOP election official
Or making it a felony if an election candidate ever was fined for jaywalking or some other minor transgression … perhaps even give them jailtime for it …
Trump has 34 felonies and SCOTUS forced him to be on the ballot.
And didn’t the Constitution plainly say he couldn’t legally run, but scotus is not interested in that document constraining them anymore.
Whoa whoa whoa we can’t ruin young Republican lives over minor transgressions.
It’s okay, the laws will only apply to democrats
There will always be a IOKIYAR clause for such things…
They’ll also start a war to remain in power. Fun.
Not “will”. They always have, historically.
A foreign war? They can try, but we don’t cancel elections for foreign wars, and it won’t give maga much of a boost in elections.
A civil war against Americans?
I don’t think they’d try, but if they did they’d fail. Like not just lose the war, they’d fail to start it.
Unarmed NG in a handful of cities is about all he can manage. Like, the only group he might be able to get to open fire on crowds is ICE, and even cops hate ICE more than they hate protesters.
If they thought they could do it, they’d have done did it by now.
They’ll be a last minute desperate attempt, but nothing will materialize
Thats a pretty optimistic take. Hope you’re right, for everyone’s sake.
It’s not just blind optimism…
There a lot, like a mind-blowing amount, of various reasons the US would be impossible to occupy, especially by a domestic force.
Like even protests, if they start cracking down we can just spread out.
Stop making protest happen downtown, and spread them out in the suburbs all around the city.
Spread the cops too thin, they’ll be too scared to do anything. Especially if protesters have vest and rifles.
History may look back and recognize that it’s already started.
It never ended. It just went cold.
Were only 10 months in. They’re still warming up.
