Donald Trump has 267 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House and is leading in key races left to be called, including Michigan and Wisconsin.
We really may have just voted for the last time. I’ll be thrilled if this only sucks for the next 4 years.
Really though we’re fucked for the next 30-40 years based on the Supreme Court alone. Expecting Roberts to retire while Trump can name a younger, more bat-shit replacement. Possibly the same for Thomas and Alito.
I’m expecting 2-3 retirements as well to be replaced by true believer Christian fascists in their 30s. This Supreme Court has been terrible but if this comes to pass we will truly be fucked until the end of the Republic.
It won’t be the last vote. Elections will just become more and more of a sham as Republicans restore white “democracy”. But the show won’t end, and it’ll be hard to say where we reached the point of no return. IMHO it could have been as early as Nixon.
