    Well that was absolutely fucking terrifying, and yet seems to be entirely accurate. The Republican party and the Evangelical movement are fucking terrorist organizations. I’ve seen this coming my entire adult life, and yet here we are.

    Per this Nytimes article, it seems the author conveniently left out that they would need a majority in both chambers to pull this off
