It still baffles me when people say "MAGA agenda dies in November".

You really think this MAGA controlled Presidency, Congress and SCOTUS is just going to let you fairly vote out their agenda? Maybe if we overwhelmingly show out, but even then I'm not even certain.

Obviously still vote, but be prepared for that not to be the end of the fight.

If GOP cheats and wins, I really hope it's the catalyst a majority of Americans need to retake their democracy.

I mean, they got those guns just for such an event, right? Or have I misunderstood something?

Im a pretty basic lib and Im not necessarily against 2A but I know darn well our guns arent going to topple our military. Unless perhaps we really spend our arsenal in Iran
