Conservatives are spinning things now to promote a "Red Wave" in the midterms

"If There’s a Red Wave Election in 2018, This Will Be Why"

<snip>

Mr. Trump isn’t on the ballot, but the ideas that animate the current conservative renaissance are. They are represented by some interesting Senate candidates, who have quite different biographies but common goals. Josh Hawley in Missouri is a Stanford- and Yale-educated lawyer who clerked for Chief Justice John Roberts, while Matt Rosendale in Montana is a rancher-turned-politician. Both are running on a platform of returning power to the people and nurturing a sense of community and solidarity among Americans that many Republican politicians either ignored or openly disdained.

WTF is this nonsense about the GOP "returning the power to the people" being espoused by him? If there is a RED WAVE in the midterms, it will be because the Russian authoritarian kleptocrats - whom we used to refer to as the REDS (including Donald the dumpster) - will have stolen the elections just as they did in 2016.

My husband and I both like DU but can't scroll anymore without google ads bringing the page back to the top. How do we get rid of google ads so that we can read the content of the web site?
