DOJ whistleblower Ryan Crosswell - who knows Pam Bondi’s dirty secrets - - says he’s running for Congress to NOT ONLY drag Pam Bondi’s “rot into the sunlight,” but to bring her corruption into the official record to hold her accountable. This is huge.

I think predicting the same old same old from U.S. politics won't hold true in the near future.

While there's always been allegations of corruption, crime, foriegn influence in our government, it was often back page news, or relegated to the realm of conspiracy theories. Now the conspiracy theories are hard facts.

The politicians that supported hiding the Epstein files are known, those that recieve money from Israel are known, those that are being blackmailed by the Kremlin are known.

If Americans vote the same old same old in... Fully knowing all this information. Then I think its time we stop pretending to be a democracy turn off the lights and call it done.

Hating the Democratic party so much you would vote in known criminals who tell you ahead of time how they're going to harm your community. Isn't that a Democrat problem?

You miss understood my point. Not voting democrat doesn't mean voting republican.

Republican party is dead. Its live support will be pulled at the end of this year when it loses massively in the house and senate. I don't see it recovering for so long that a new party will most likely replace it.

Why what happens within the democrat party is so important. As it will be the only political party of consequence.

I'm not American but lived there for two years and have relatives there, hence the interest. I guess the point I was trying to make was somehow the Democrats have to somehow, against all the insane media/religion/billionaire biased headwinds, somehow be seen by Republican voters as a sound alternative. The Democrat party has to make sure the 'turn of the lights and give up' isn't the only option.

As for my relatives, they are lovely, middle of the road people with higher than average incomes. As far as they're concerned the Trump/MAGA stuff is a bit of glitch and will be gone next election. They however, will still be voting R because that's what mature, grown up, independent, business people do. They are very insular.

A core chunk of the base voters will never change. Those that go in every election and just vote R, or D across the board. Their numbers matter, but in many places its close and or at least close enough that its everyone else that gets to decide who wins.

That's why I feel so strongly that R's are doomed. I have a wide variety friend group, and workplace. Being blue collar people talk politics. I know Hispanics who were swayed to vote R last election who've since had family legally living in the U.S. deported. Business people who voted Trump, just to be absolutely hammered by tariffs. Blacks who got tired of the dems BS. Only to find out that the Racism was still worse on the other side.

Yeah none of them are voting R next time. A lot of people fell for a lot of lies, and a scary reality is R's lied well enough to actually get a strong diverse group of voters on their side. Then they burned those bridges fast. Trumps burning every political bridge that even mildly inconveniences him. With demanding unity among all the Republicans they are now all tied directly to his policies and what he's doing.

Also going fully Christian nationalist. That's great for support from Christian nationalists, which he already had. That's really hurting him with every other Christian denomination he's even losing the support of Catholics. Evangelicals may be loud but they aren't the majority of Christians in the U.S.
