I'm tired of hearing about Republicans attacking our democracy and wanting to take democracy away, implying that Democrats wouldn't do the very same thing if voting didn't go their way. It's likely Republicans will take back the House after the 2022 elections and, even if they don't get the Senate, they have a great shot at taking over that as well in 2024.
