genea.bsky.social @genea.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Polls show the Democrats are in serious trouble. Given the horrors of the last two years, this is really a MONUMENTAL failure. Easy to explain: The Dems spent their time fighting each other and bashing Trump's personality more than talking to issues or getting a clear program. There is still time... 011
genea.bsky.social @genea.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Democrats, the polls look terrible. Looks like an increase in Senate GOP.

genea.bsky.social @genea.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Repubs are doing extremely well in polls, because the Dems have not provided an alternative.

genea.bsky.social @genea.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The only hope is to stop Trump and the fascist elites NOW.

It will take unity behind traditional US values. 000
genea.bsky.social @genea.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The fear of takeover of the US by fascist elites is very real. Trump and Stephen Miller quote Hitler, the Silicon elites have turned fascist, and the GOP has abandoned small govt for fascist power. This cannot end in anything but genocide.
