A parallel reality opened up on November 3, 2020, and tens of millions of Americans fell into it. For the past three and a half years, while the rest of us have been attending to the necessities of our daily lives, those in the parallel dimension have been living through an authoritarian nightmare in which American democracy has been supplanted by the rule of an illegitimate impostor president. In their reality, Donald J. Trump won a second term that day – securing victories in both the popular vote and the Electoral College tally – only to have it yanked away from him by a cabal of Democrats, global elites, and voting machine companies. In their reality, this is possibly the greatest crime ever committed; it has suspended their liberty, forced them to live under an unelected regime, and left them in doubt as to whether this nation, conceived in liberty, brought forth by our fathers upon this continent, will last.

GOP candidates vying for the chance to oust U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo (D-CO) tried to win the votes of fellow Republicans in Windsor, about an hour north of Denver, on Sunday by highlighting conservative elements of their biographies.
At least eight Republican congressional candidates in Colorado support the 2022 overturn of Roe v. Wade but are saying they would oppose legislation in Congress to establish a national abortion ban.
The Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, has had the unintended consequence of potentially turning federal elections into referenda on abortion. Without the federal protections of Roe, a future Republican majority could pass a national abortion ban.
