Thought I would get us started for May.
One headline I saw today said that the Democratic majority in the House is threaten because of retirements, and in other news I saw a second story about Republican effort in the Houston area of Texas to get "super" poll watchers to put in the minority voting districts because of all the "fraud" (there is no fraud there). The headline implied they wanted to give poll watchers more authority.

bbbearsmom, it seems like political anxiety will never end. It feels like half of the nation has to have a "go to war" mentality just to get to vote. And the other half has gone to war to prevent Democratic votes. I'm so tired of it all.

lani, DotRen, I forgot to post about my angst over the recount in Arizona. The firm is run by a Trump devotee and was setup to do the recount (or so I'm guessing). The running says he's going to find hundreds of thousands of votes, and DT is saying they are going to find thousands and thousands of votes and then they are going on to other states. Also started to read part of an article about belief that the election was stolen is a litmus test now for Republicans. One woman said she believes it is true because DT has always been right and told the truth!

They polled republicans about the covid vaccines and something like 30% said they won't get it, they don't 'trust' is, because Trump didn't get it -they're shocked to learn he DID get it, in January, secretly. It still doesn't bother his devotees that he's lied to and manipulated them for 4+ years, they still think he tells the truth and has their best interest at heart. At this point, there's really no trying to get them to see reason and logic, they've completely gone off the deep end (some of them). birdgal, you're right, he could easily be the next David Koresh or Jim Jones. For the asking/suggesting, many of his followers would pretty much do anything he asked of them. Why??! I don't get it. He's not even charismatic.

What's the difference between those believers who followed and adored Jim Jones and trump worshippers? The latter are still with us? Not wishing death on anyone, moderators.

I think it's because most of them are exactly like him. Rude, crude, and indifferent.
Forgive me if I told you this already but I know a man who is 80 something. His grandchildren or any other children are not allowed to be alone with him. He is always making disgusting sexual comments and rude gestures. You can't have a conversation without him making a gross and inappropriate remark.
He believes trump is the greatest President this country has ever had.
Of course he does.

Bamboo ballots and ultra-violet lights - it's insane. And they're dumping Liz Cheney because she told the truth and refuses to sell the big lie. The "Give me liberty or give me death" peeps are now embracing authoritarianism and Former Guy is the Dear Leader. It makes my head hurt!

I think it was Socrates who said, "You might not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you." It frightens me that almost overnight a two bit, richy rich, lying talk show host, became the leader of the Republican party. I never understood how Hitler did it. Weren't people concerned, worried, aware, of the things this madman could do? Sadly, I get it now. I hope it's not too late but I don't have too much faith in hope.
