Are you inferring that there is no fascism or fascist elements within the democrat party?!

It is incredible. Trump has spent just about every waking moment since he left office to get his loyalists elected to office so he can run again in 2024 and ensure a take over of the United States by placing his hardcore loyalists in every sensitive department in the United States. He will then have full control of the Justice Depaetment, Military and Secret service to ensure he remains in power for as long as he likes like Putin, Xi, etc. Any election that does not go his way will be considered a fraud and not honored. Fortunately, he will not be able to control the Media and there will be underground guerilla organizations formed to attack government and this country will turn into a police State and third world country ( not economically) where there are many outbreaks of violence, called terrorism by the Right.

I don't think I am exaggerating here one bit. We began to see these kind of outbreaks of violence in Portland and Seattle during the later stages of Trump's first term.

Things are going to get pretty chaotic here if things play out as I expect and Trump takes over Fascist Control of the country.

This has been Trump's plan since he was forced to leave office and he is intensely planning for that day during his every waking moment.

I forgot to mention there are two other States, Nevada and Ohio, that are running two hardcore Trump Loyalists for the Senate, Laxalt and Vance. I know a lot about the Nevada political scene since I lived there for 4.5 years. Nevada is as polarized a State as they come. The old timers are fanatically conservative and redneck. There was even a Nazi compound in Nevada that recently got destroyed. But there are an equal number of liberals. The Hispanic population represents 37% of the State and the Mormon population also represents 37% of the State. The workers from the Hotel and Casino industry are Democrats. There are also lots of independent social libertarians in Nevada. The later group got very turned off to Governor Sisolak's Covid policy toward State workers who chose not to get vaccinated. These workers were charged an extra $65 a month on their insurance premiums. They are not going to vote for Sisolak again and many will vote for Laxalt. I was outraged enough where I voted Republican for Governor, but kept my vote for Dem for Senate and House. I was so upset that I almost voted Republican for House, but changed my mind the last moment.

The Dems may lose Nevada.

Nevada sends an absentee ballot to all its citizens if they opt in.

>>I wonder what happened?<<

To me it's simple, White grievance. Started during the Obama years. Republicans, not all to be sure, but enough, vilified Obama’s most personal attributes. His religion was questioned. Racist cartoons were common. So were jokes about Obama’s African heritage..... "Kenya hear me" by that clown Louis Gohmert.


Trump took it to another level. The Mexican bashing at Trump Tower. Charlottsville. Fake Antifa stuff. It resonated. Unless you are white/male/Christian you are the enemy.


It's what I see.
