    Well that was absolutely fucking terrifying, and yet seems to be entirely accurate. The Republican party and the Evangelical movement are fucking terrorist organizations. I’ve seen this coming my entire adult life, and yet here we are.

    Per this Nytimes article, it seems the author conveniently left out that they would need a majority in both chambers to pull this off

    Mr. Johnson also could demand that Republicans in Congress vote as a bloc on Jan. 6, 2025, against certifying election results. But he would need 20 percent of both chambers to agree to object, and then a majority of both chambers to vote to sustain the objection.
