There it is👇Alex deGrasse tells Steve Bannon how Trump and MAGA Republicans plan to steal the 2026 midterms. It’s a three pronged approach: 1. Rig-Districting 2. A new census brought on by executive order and 3. SCOTUS overturns the Voting Rights Act. Now you know the plan! Fight accordingly ‼️

Hate is powerful. In fact it’s powerful enough to convince people to destroy the programs they benefit from, to give more money to the very rich, because they somehow believe it hurts the people they don’t like.
