    There is a television preacher who is a Trump supporter who is saying The Christian Religion will be enforced on the rest of America if Trump wins again, and if Republicans win in midterms.

    But which Christian religion? Catholic or Protestant? And if it's Protestant, which denomination? There are many of them!

    A lot of MAGAs want an end to separation of church and state, but if that happens, which church will be running things?

    Not to worry; the Taliban will sort that out for you.

    Do you mean the American Taliban?

    "MAGA Republicans' goals and policies bear a striking resemblance to a foe we've fought before. MAGA Republicans are the American Taliban." -The Lincoln Project

    The church which has the preacher who has sex with the pool boy would win hands down. Republicans like that sort of thing.

    Just watched Real Time with Bill Maher and he's really pessimistic about the election. He points out how the polls have shifted toward the GOP and gives the Dems little chance of coming out of it on top. He finished by telling us we must prepare to say goodbye to Democracy as we'll soon end up with an authoritarian government.

    I'm more optimistic but still I know we're in trouble. Perhaps talking like that is Maher's attempt at a hail mary pass, he's trying to rile people up so they go out and vote blue. I don't know. But I already voted and all that shit he had to say has left me feeling really discouraged.

    41,000,000 people have already cast their votes in the 2022 midterm election, far more than in 2018

    The latest poll numbers indicate that democrats hold a 2-1 margin in early voting, so don't get down If the same day votes which get counted first lean heavily on the republican side.

    Tomorrow I'm going to try to cut myself off from it all. I'll read books, watch DVDs, whatever. I'll learn how the election went on Wednesday. If anyone wants to track it and keep us updated on How insane this midterm election has become, feel free, but I feel the need to avoid it. I'll see you guys on the other side (Wednesday).

    I'm back. Things are looking good for the Dems, though a lot of races are still undecided. I hope they can hold the majority in the House and Senate.

    Another Deep Red state rejects the Anti-abortion bill.

    Why don't these conservative politicians listen to their constituency?
