21. States run elections? Tell that to Adelita Grijalva. I won't be surprised if she's literally never seated.

The USA was not in the grip of a fascist authoritarian dictatorship at any of those past times. Utterly corrupt sycophants to that fascist leader were not in charge of Congress or SCOTUS at those times.

When it comes to federal elections, the congress in DC decides whether or not to honor how those states decided. Remember we came close to having the 2020 election nullified by Trump pressuring Pence to refuse to certify? You think the couch-fucker is going to behave honorably like Pence did?

I don't think there's going to be another real federal election in this country, not the sort we have become accustomed to. I think the refusal to seat Grijalva is the trial balloon. Every day that goes by they get away with not seating her is convincing the fascists of the regime that they literally have ALL THE POWER. And they're not wrong in any way I can detect.

I think US democracy as we knew it ended in January 2025. We are now living in Project 2025. Welcome to Dystopia.
