    I have a feeling that it will be 2040, Republicans are the only legal party and there will be illegal underground news articles that are still titled “Republicans are trying to end America’s democracy.”

    At what point are any of the people writing these articles going to acknowledge that they’ve already done it and that only way to reverse it is through law breaking?

      Americans have so thoroughly been taught to follow the law and be polite since they began school that there is no snapping them out of it. They will let the fascist take their freedoms, taxes, health, sanity and more. Everyone of them will keep trying to vote harder.
