19. He's trying in all sorts of ways to interfere with state's rights

in running elections... and registration for election. I guess he could make his edicts for Federal elections only, but then you would need to have at least two different ballots - one for fed and one for state, county, etc. I don't think he's gonna like that, either. He really wants to devise a way where he and other republicans can cheat and not get caught. Their ultimate goal is no democrat elected to office at any point in the future. Didn't FL actually try to outlaw the democratic party at one point last year... or the year before that? Memory marbles are tumbling around the memory. But these repugs are serious. They never want to relinquish power again. And you can see some repugs getting worried about another 40 years in the desert like it was after nixon. They not only do not want that to happen again, they want to ensure no democrats can get into office and begin to set right what they've spent his hurried amount of time screwing up. IOW, you WILL welcome your overlords and bow down to them for all time - signed repugs and oligarchs.

If they don't end up in the right box, then what? MichMan Apr 2025 #15
