It’s being called the most consequential midterm election of all time. Now, an analysis from The Washington Post reveals 299 GOP midterm nominees are 2020 election deniers. MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent, Ari Melber, reports on how “truthers” are even running to oversee U.S. elections. All of this comes as Trump is already fueling the MAGA GOP to question the midterm results.

Sometimes it seems people are waking up, but it may be too late, the know-nothing’s but fear and vengeance lust sown out of self-created fantasy, and Americans by and large didn’t care any more.
F - FairPlay, or living up to ethics, learning from facing one’s mistakes and failings. etc., etc., etc.
So much focused on how to hate and fear and no time learning about our real threats.

A little reading for folks interested in the reasons for my fear and disgust. Wish I had a conversation starter, but these authors explain it much better than I can. Still these are the facts and it’s just about election time. LAST CHANGE regular Americans. Republicans want to crush us once and for all.
Yeah, it is that ALARMING, because they really, really, really mean it, truth, honest, dignity, honor, matter not one iota. ME, ME, ME, POWER, POWER, POWER, MY ENEMIES WILL BLEED AND CRY SAYETH THE MAGAMAN.

Here’s a pretty good resource for those curious about such things,

Election deniers will be on the ballot in 48 of 50 states and make up [more than half of all Republicans running for congressional and state offices](https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/10/06/elections-deniers-midterm-elections-2022/?itid=lk_inline_enhanced-template) in the midterm elections. Nearly 300 Republicans seeking those offices this November have denied the outcome of the last presidential election, according to a Washington Post analysis.

Raskin does a good job of outlining the problem with the MAGA-GOP.

> At a House Judiciary Committee hearing last month, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) decried Republicans for playing down the “gravity” of the January 6 Capitol Insurrection.
Representative[Mondaire Jones](http://jones.house.gov/) does a pretty good follow up.
