The Republican Party AND the GOP controlled Supreme Court…
The presidency is the only position Donald Trump has ever held that allows him to indulge his corrupt nature without restraint. But none of it would be possible without the Republican Party’s complicity and willingness to enable him. Without their complicity,this would never have been possible.

So much of what the internet smugly complains about as being features of "capitalism" or "American empire" are, in fact, the results of GOP rule.
If you're under 40 or so, the GOP has controlled so much of your lives, for so long, you can't even see it. It's the same way a fish can't see water.

You’re not allowed to imagine an effective Dem opposition party with smart fiery leaders who know the difference between accountability and “revenge”. Instead, you must accept a controlled opposition, embrace malaise. The same oligarchs who bought the GOP also purchased select top Dems.

Those two are the controlled opposition. Their job is to keep the status quo and give us crumbs.

Several congressional districts that Florida’s Republican-controlled legislature heavily redrew to favor the GOP have just elected Democrats to those seats.
Republicans gerrymandered these Florida districts. Democratis won them anyway.

That new system took effect in 1966, and Republicans have controlled the #azleg with pretty much an iron fist since then.
Democrats have never controlled the state House since. In the Senate, there were two blips on GOP control: In 1990, Democrats won the Senate, and in 2000, the Senate split 15-15

"As with so many other things, actions once considered so shocking that they justified impeachment in Trump 1.0 have become mundane, everyday occurrences the second go-round. And the GOP-controlled Congress has done basically nil to stop it." That's over.
Revenge of the (Democratic Budget) Nerds
Trump’s rogue OMB director is about to get his wings clipped.

IN05 was backed Trump in 2024 and had double digit leads and has been controlled by the GOP since 1993. These early numbers look fantastic for Democrats. 👇🏻

There’s never nothing to critique about any Dems or GOP. Let’s just be sure it’s factual and NOT RU troll disinformation. Schumer/Jeffries have the most Jewish constituents in USA, support Israel, but NOT Bibi’s war-crimes -as Trump/Hegseth/GOP do. Nor have ANY Dems controlled the purse since 2022!!
I mean there's a very long list I can give you here of things schumer definitely did that's been blatantly in favour of Israel that has nothing to do with Russian propaganda? I'm struggling to see why you think Democrat dislike for him is manufactured by Russia and not valid gripes?

Good on him. Because that wasn't the case in NC. Outgoing GOP Gov Pat McCrory signed into law bills passed by the GOP-controlled legislature in 12/16 that significantly reduced the powers of incoming Dem. Governor Roy Cooper.

Partisan realignment changed everything. As conservatives & most moderates sorted themselves into the GOP & liberals sorted themselves into the Democratic Party, Texas became a Republican-controlled state. We've not seen what Texas looks like as a Democratic state after partisan realignment.

As for Dem-controlled state governments, your job is fucking simple:
GET GOVERNMENT WORKING FOR AVERAGE PEOPLE.
No corporate tax breaks.
Protect vulnerable people (trans people, immigrants, etc) with all the power at the state level.
Don't cooperate with the GOP-controlled Fed government.
