Thank you for joining me in the hand-wringing section! Now I don’t feel so lonely. I tell ya—I am truly worried about the next decade. The trajectory is for another Russia, not another Norway.

Promises, Promises.

Beau of the 5th Column made the point that the first “Republicans” might be referring to the voters, and the second “Republicans” might be referring to the politicians; ie: if the politicians don’t do something about the “election fraud” than the voters will but their mark elsewhere on the ballot sheet. This sounds plausible given Donny’s mob background.
