Not just a win, but a 32-point shift from the last election in this district. In Alabama.

And the right keeps doubling down. 2024 might turn out to be alright.

They are doubling down to radicalize the base. 2024 won’t be all right, it’ll end in violence

Likely enough, I'm afraid. For good or ill, many on the left have learned their lesson and armed themselves. If the 2024 election isn't a blow out for the Democrats, and the Red-hats decide on violence again, it could be a bloodbath.

Violence that we'll prosecute as slowly and as reluctantly as possible.

Don't underestimate the power of pissed off women.

Or men who care about their daughters, wives, and mothers. This election is going to be 1980 in reverse.

The seat was vacant because Republican Rep. David Cole pleaded guilty to voter fraud. Self-projecting assholes.
