Donald Trump’s base is at each other’s throats after the GOP suffered crushing defeats in contests across the country on Tuesday.

In the wake of the GOP’s beatings in Virginia, New Jersey, California, and New York City, MAGA has descended into a blamefest, arguing over whether Republicans had failed to mobilize enough voters or if internal fighting and other strategic missteps were to blame.

Some even faulted Trump, accusing him of prioritizing foreign affairs over problems at home.

    Maybe. Just maybe the left does not fracture quite as much when literally their backs against the wall.

      Maybe but if they do manage to win going forward the absolutely must not let any one off the hook for all this bullshit.

      If there is literally no witch hunt for the people responsible for all Trump’s bullshit it will just happen again. All time ICE agents need to be made to think twice about what do because “just following orders” should not be a viable excuse.

      You know, I bet they fumble this in the name of “unity”.

        I would love for Democrats to gain enough seats to both impeach and convict.

        I think that’s the only thing that can save us at this point.

        We need to impeach Trump, Vance, Thomas, and Alito at the minimum.

        We need to also pass a law that removes Thomas’ and Alito’s votes from any case they sat on.

        All of their writings need to be stricken from the legal record. Not destroyed, but just redered legally null and void

          Holy shit, I’d love to see that. I wish there were ways to reverse any pardon that came from this asshole as well.

          Also, we’d need to get Bannon, Stephen Miller, Noem, Homan, Patel, Bondi, Gorka, Roger Stone, and I’m sure many others I’m forgetting right now into the pipeline to prison, ASAP. All of those fuckers are/were doing illegal shit and need to pay.

        I agree. We have been letting things slip massively all millenium and we need to get back to individaul rights first and the government is expected to, yes, shocker. put in more effort than they expect from the people to do things correctly.

      The thing is, define left. The American left can’t make heads or tails on who gets to be “the left” and what they want. The progressives or the neoliberals? Both factions may believe in social justice, but they deviate from economic policies. One believes in taxing the rich, the other in insider trading. One wants to fight fascism, the other would rather see fascism win to keep his/her own economic privileges and the plebs be damned.

        I don’t think any people want insider trading. Thats plain old corruption and we have made laws to stop things like that before. Thing is we definately need to have republicans win so little that they become inconsequential.
