re: #139 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

My pessimism is telling me that rural America (yes, I know, Omaha is a medium sized city, but it is still part of rural America) has now become so entrenched in resentment politics and that resentment has found a home in the GOP’s religious-right dominated machine … that we are in for a long haul in regards to avoiding slipping into some terrible right-wing dictatorship.

Even the Never-Trumpers in the GOP will embrace such a slide into fascism. They just didn’t like Trump’s ickiness. If a Republican more polite, more smooth, and less brazen with his immorality had been elected instead of Trump but did the exact same things Trump did… then the Never Trumpers would go along with such a person.

Pansing-Brooks represents Lincoln, not Omaha. As for Omaha, in the 2020 election the electoral vote went to Biden but Bacon was reëlected (it is a real swing district). Since then, the GOP tried to gerrymander NE-2 by splitting it in half and cutting part of my district into it, but failed in court. NE-1 was heavily-gerrymandered already.
