(#4821) If republicans were in control the weapon help would be going to putin not Zelinskyy

      The alternate universe is now easily seen from this one. In a world where republicans are in control the slaughter of Ukraine would have American fingerprints on it along with trumps buddy putin. Just think how close we came to having that alternate universe as our real one. And think about how close we still are at the end of this year when the elections take place. In my mind there is no way the treasonous republican party gets elected to lead Congress in our democracy. Yet the polling, which I find incredulous, makes it seem almost probable.
     That alternate universe is just around the corner still so we who have fought our whole lives had better keep fighting or otherwise our hope of keeping our democracy will vanish. What must happen now in our real universe is for Ukraine to keep fighting like all get out and the west to keep supplying the Ukrainians with the wherewithal to fight with. If our current universe is to maintain its realiity we need for Ukraine to win back its sovereign territory and for putin to pay the ultimate price for his murderous onslaught. There can be no other outcome in order for us to finally destroy that alternate universe the republican party so desperately desires.
     When democracy prevails, then the autocracies diminish. That is the logic and it holds true to form. When we democrats show up in numbers too large to be contested then the republican party becomes irrelevant. With a few more senators added to our 50 total now we can get past the blocking of filibuster protections. We can then consider adding DC and Puerto Rico as new states to our union. We can pass legislation to give women equal rights. We can pass honorable laws that correct our dishonest election laws. We can get police reform, minimum wage reform, tax reform and many other reforms that republicans and 2 democrats have blocked. We can do this in our reality, we just need to fight for it.
