Just to be clear:
Right wing ELECTED Congress members blocked Obama's scotus picks and packed the courts with Trump's picks.
Every horror and fascist we are seeing was put there by rightwing lockstep mobilized voters. Voting works and it is working very very well for the right.
It's especially galling when people say voting doesn't work because the GOP has figured out how to game it so their dedicated guys voting, and the general populous *not* voting both benefit them. Not voting is basically voting conservative, for all intents and purposes.
It may seem hard but things can change fast when people are mobilized. In my county, it's decidedly Republican and our town sheriff was the Republican pick. He was the presumed winner before the election, but we broke them! We divided the conservative vote by canvassing over his corruption charges.
The guy in charge now has been spending the last year cleaning house, removing the deputies who BRIBED THEIR WAY into getting a badge, aiding the DOJ on further investigations, and pressing charges against the previously mentioned and now former sheriff and those deputies.
Which stresses another point... The down-ticket matters way more than some people give credit for!
Town Council, Treasurer, School Boards, Sheriff, etc... These positions matter far more to your immediate quality of life than a federal representative and you should give a damn about it.
Those down-ticket elections are how the GOP built all this. They went after the town councils, school boards, county legislators, etc. It all builds up from there.
