Nazis running as Republicans

This article states:

“In at least five state and national races across the country, the Republican Party is dealing with an uncomfortable problem. Their party’s candidates are either a card-carrying Nazi, a Holocaust denier, a proud white supremacist, or all of the above.
In North Carolina, for example, GOP officials are stuck with Russell Walker, a white supremacist running for the state House of Representatives. According to his personal website (littered with the n-word), he believes that “the jews are NOT semitic they are satanic as they all descend from Satan.””

 

Generic ballot polls

The generic ballot is a poll based on the question of which party voters would support in a congressional election.  Because of gerrymandering, voter suppression, and concentration of Democratic voters in cities, Democrats need a big edge to win in Congress.  A new Quinnipiac poll has the Democrats at +9 but this has fluctuated and varied in other polls.

This won’t stop Republicans from destroying Roe v. Wade:

Iowa voter suppression

From the article linked to in the tweet:

“In a filing Wednesday, lawyers for voting rights advocates who are challenging the law argued it will impose “significant” new burdens to participation that will fall disproportionately on voters who are young, low-income and minority. State lawyers have asked for the suit to be dismissed.”
