My nightmare scenario: GOP takes the House in 2022, with a large contingent of MAGA / Q dolts assuming office. They spend two years launching stupid witch hunts, targeting Hunter Biden and Tom Hanks and Fauci.
In 2024, the election is marred by violence. Polling locations and county offices are surrounded by mobs of yokels armed with AR15s and yelling about Luciferian pedophiles, claiming to “protect democracy” while they slam on windows and intimidate election officials. The election is razor thin in several key precincts and states, and the GOP challenges every one. Many such districts are run by rightwing nuts, and they refuse to certify based on crazy rumors and innuendo. The House throws out the vote counts in key states and elects the GOP candidate, who is either Trump or some more competent fascist asshole.
The blueprint for single party rule is written and it’s irreversible. Over the ensuing decade, political violence escalates, leading the fascists in power to crack down on “socialists.” Innocent people start disappearing. Journalists are intimidated, censored, and arrested. Opposition politicians are jailed on flimsy charges.
And morons like OnBoard wave tiny American flags and cheer while they murder the country they claim to love so dearly.
