Yea if the electorate is as red or even redder than 2024 than sure Mike Rogers can win. If a Democrat won 51% of the vote in Idaho they also win. Youre welcome for the analysis

Also, it's underrated the Biden didn't really bother to try to fix things. He kept Trump's abominable trade policy approach, and scarcely changed his foreign policy approach.

Bluesky is ground zero for post grad economist millennials explaining to people like me (who relies exclusively on the benevolence of dead rich Episcopalians to eat and live) that things really aren’t that bad.

MAGA has spent the past 48 hours lecturing Pope Leo XIV on Catholic teaching. People who do this are foolish bigots. We stand with Pope Leo.

That was MAGA; the culmination of Reality TV Show America. We got the government we’d idolized on TV and it royally fucked us over. We’ve got one more midterm and one more presidential election to decide how permanent we want this all to be.

The worst demons of American society, consisting mostly of our grotesque selfishness, elected Donald Trump twice and what we’ve gotten in return is high gas prices, gofundme’s for surgery and medicine, expensive asf groceries, mortgage rates at 8%, and our own citizens shot and killed by ICE.

Ironically it will collapse in historic fashion, as its leader rambles incoherently and his brain turns to mush, as his enablers scramble to avoid being prosecuted, as his followers are demoralized and embarrassed to support him, because of the thing all Americans hate; gas prices being too high

This was a fascist regime built on the mass ignorance of the whole American populace, exploiting the psychosis and fears of racist while evangelicals, the economic anxiety of second generation Latino Americans, and the cult like loyalty of American conservatives.

They worship and love death. It is their god
The Christofascists of today do not view themselves as existing outside
Christianity, but it can be said that they worship a different god: the god of the plantation, concentration camps, prisons, punishing your enemies, apartheid, and genocide. Again, Söelle says as much, stating that in the Religious Right, she saw
"a God without justice, a Jesus without a cross, an Easter without a cross-what remains is a metaphysical Easter Bunny in front of the beautiful blue light of the television screen, a betrayal of the disappointed, a miracle weapon in service of the mighty."
Their political objectives reveal the god of Christofascism as a god of death, a god who proclaims a gospel of counterfeit life while feasting upon life itself. Within this god's political project, being a good

This is the best debate line of the whole election season and it’s also proof that white Democrats can be serious and clear about the perpetual threat anti-Blackness is and how racist and white surpremacist the GOP is regardless of what state they live in.
