US Midterms 2022 - Read OP before posting

Walker is the perfect Republican.

He says one thing while doing the exact opposite.

Eh, The people who talk about gender and pronouns etc are mostly people on far right media who seem obsessed by pronouns and the 'culture wars'

Most other people seriously don't give a shite about what pronouns anyone use

What people DO care about, are the rights that the GOP are taking away from them. The right to abortion, the right to contraception is under threat, the right to marry whoever you like, the right to join a Union, the right to vote, the right to a fair trial, the right to free speech (Ironically, the free speech warriors don't seem to mind when books are banned and teachers are being forced to not mention race or gender when educating children)

And that brings us back to the education gag orders. According to the PEN America database, more than 100 pending state bills would limit or constrain free speech in public education. The bulk of these bills attempt to regulate speech regarding race. Framed as “anti–critical race theory” bills, they typically purport to ban the instruction or inclusion of certain “divisive concepts” in public-school classrooms, in college classrooms, and sometimes in public employment or government contracting. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/04/republican-dont-say-gay-bill-florida/629516/

The right to freedom from religion is a massive concern to many people in America now where the ultra conservative supreme court are pairing up with ultra conservative state legislatures. governorships and courts, while Congress and Senate are being kneecapped by silly rules like the Filibuster, and supermajority requirements for any meaningful change

In an America where the Dems win this election, it's more of the same with some slight changes around the edges

In an election where the Republicans win control, we're looking at the rapid rollback of rights and freedoms and as some of the candidates have openly said, the end of the 2 party system to be replaced with a pseudo democracy where the GOP have everything rigged so heavily in their favour that they'll never lose an election again.

Rural New England is a very wealthy and 'liberal' part of America.

Have you much experience of some of the less progressive parts of America?

He was indeed, but too tough on crime for my liking

Nonsense. Trump spent more time in Mar-a-largo than in front of the the press core. And if he didn't like the question, then the question or reporter were stupid. He's destroying open debate and the democratic process in America.

""Look at the border. Do you know we’ve had 3.8 million illegal immigrants cross that border, 800,000 more got-aways, 4.5 million people broke the law and came here illegally?" Haley told a crowd of Walker supporters. "And Biden and Warnock helped them do it. Now, I am the daughter of Indian immigrants. They came here legally, they put in the time, they put in the price, they are offended by what’s happening on that border. Legal immigrants are more patriotic than the leftists these days. They knew they worked to come into America, and they love America. They want the laws followed in America, so the only person we need to make sure we deport is Warnock." 

Full quote. She was making a point about illegal immigration. I mean, it was stupid to talk about deporting an American citizen, but racist?

Right wing ecosystem already laying track to say the election was stolen if they can’t hand count etc 200 million ballots in 8 hours. 🤥 Some red states have laws that you cannot even begin counting early votes until 1) the polls today close and 2) all in person votes are counted.

If you don’t get it you don’t get it. Calling for his deportation was red meat for the racist base.

Being reported that some states are talking about record turnouts. Generally this works well for democrats but how will it play out?

Was the poster not referring to the 2020 election? A worryingly large amount of Reps believe that the election was stolen...they still believe that, with no evidence.

Believe the polls, but not the result because it didn't go their way...makes sense.

Mad that almost 2 years later, they are still peddling that kind of garbage.

Hold on, what evidence are you referring to here?
