Republicans lost the popular vote for president in 5 of the last 6 elections, yet managed to capture the Whitehouse 3 times. That has allowed them to stack the Supreme Court and the Federal Courts, and stack countless Federal agencies with loyalists. They have doubled down on gerrymandering and voter disenfranchisement, and used that to seize control of States where they routinely lose the popular vote, and then use those State legislatures to limit the power of democratically elected governors who oppose them.

They have used the power they seized to push extremely unpopular agendas, and they know they aren't winning the popular vote in the upcoming presidential election - or even the electoral college. They are doubling down on the 'stolen election' lie because it gives them cover for their final plan, discarding the vote, ignoring the will of the people, and seizing total power in America.

It doesn't matter who Republicans run for the president in 24, they plan on making sure he wins and is the Final president.

Don't let them do that. He dropped the ball on the biggest terrorist attack in our nation's history, used it as an excuse to start two wars with countries that had little or nothing to do with it, shiat all over our civil rights and got the ball really rolling on our current surveillance/police state, and in a final attempt to stay in power released a dangerous amount of our nation's oil reserve to try to buy votes with "see cheap gas all good". That's not even beginning to scratch the surface.

Bush Jr took the greatest economy in history and flushed it down the toilet for some vanity wars to try to prove he was better than his dad. Millions of people died. Many were innocent civilians. Jr also eroded a LOT of our freedoms, and paved the way for TFG by elevating stupidity over thoughtful process. Remember how the Republicans would respond to any criticism with "Why do you hate America"? Jr begat TFG.

Buchanan. Until Jan 6th, I would say he was worse than TFG. Look him up, it's amazing how incompetent he was. He wasn't nearly as stupid as TFG, but he still managed to botch literally everything he touched.

Yeah, let's not retroactively salvage the GOP's continuing race to the bottom.  Dubya sucked so hard that they tried numerous times during the Obama Administration that all failed.  There's a reason he hasn't done anything besides sit in a room and paint for over a decade, and that's because the GOP figured out that salvaging is something to be outsourced to losers like Bill O'Reilly who no longer have a purpose shoveling the shiat in primetime yet are still on the payroll.

Let's also stop trying to save the Republican Party.  There's nothing worthwhile in it.  Best to let the Democrats have the reigns for a decade or less and have some other party form out of that.  America would do better with a two-party system with liberals on one side and progressives on the other than dealing with trying to salvage the old, beatdown Republican racismmobile.

How dumb was Bush Jr?

After the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003, the George W. Bush administration flooded the conquered country with so much cash to pay for reconstruction and other projects in the first year that a new unit of measurement was born.
Pentagon officials determined that one giant C-130 Hercules cargo plane could carry $2.4 billion in shrink-wrapped bricks of $100 bills. They sent an initial full planeload of cash, followed by 20 other flights to Iraq by May 2004 in a $12-billion haul that U.S. officials believe to be the biggest international cash airlift of all time. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2011-jun-13-la-fg-missing-billions-20110613-story.html

Eh... from my posts it's obvious I hated Bush Jr, but I'll give him credit for handling the 2002 SARS epidemic well. When he handed the nation off to Obama, he told him "This country isn't ready for a pandemic." All the pandemic preparedness that Obama put in place (which TFG later dismantled) was at the suggestion of Bush Jr.

That's how bad TFG was. Even a horrible idiot like Bush Jr could handle a pandemic better than TFG.

W. Bush is a Marvel Celestial-level intelligence by comparison.

The sad part is the last administration was a litmus test.  A theory which applied destructive testing to see how much the GOP could get away with.  Even with an obscene amount of misconduct, business ethics and other shady practices, the man triggered a mob to lay siege to the Capitol and he's gotten away with it.  In another year when election activities open up, I fear he'll still be pleading the 5th and stalling the judicial process.

If TFG manages to squeeze his way through THIS level of high crime, you can nail the coffin shut on the USA idea of democracy.  Because after that there will eventually be someone just as evil but SMART.
