Those 140 Republican Congresspeople who voted against election certification, and any US Senator who did the same, should not be permitted (are not, by the US Constitution) to run for public office in the United States again. Hit 'em HARD with that paintbrush! Subsidize the Lincoln Project, make sure what it presents is seen as often as We The People see these despairing Democratic fundraising emails!


BIG MO-- psychological momentum-- is what will keep both Houses Democratic in the 2022 election. Trump is most clearly the figurehead for the Far Right's attempted takeover not only of their Party, but of the entire political process.


HAMMER each new outrageous, squirming lie he tells! In fact, let me write your copy (my academic credentials are available upon your request), or at least some of it.

But one of the phenomena you Democrats do clearly expose and explain is the almost-behind-the-scenes GOP push to appoint and elect Trump-corrupted election officials at state and local levels. You need to double down, hammer on that theme more, even doxxing these people who continue to express support for the Big Lie and to run using that support as their platform as existentially dangerous individuals to the very existence of American democracy, small d!

My name is William Perkins Homans the third, but probably more people know me as the bluesman (and artist) Watermelon Slim.

I've been in the fight against war, fascism, injustice and inhumanity for 47 years. I was at MayDay, 1971, (more...)
