When I started this thread I never thought something like this would happen to America.
The virus might not be the Republicans fault but they are responsible for dealing with it in the White House and Senate. I really have a sick feeling about the rest of the year.

I use to actuality think at one time Republican's would be force into seeing reality. Just now all this time later to realize the lengths they go to in rationalizing twisting or ignoring facts.
It truly is a cult in all actions and appearances.
The election will be going to the court for a decision. I fear it will go to Trump no matter what the facts are.

His demonization of the Post Office and ballot by mail has all the ear marks of authoritarianism.
Hopefully corrupt manipulation of our election is not on the horizon.

Does not matter if the election is manipulated.

It will be contested.

When did facts matter to his cult?

Trumpocalypse review: David Frum bushwhacks a new axis of evil

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...bush-axis-evil

Quote:
Over the past half-century, the GOP has morphed into the heir of George Wallace, the segregationist Alabama governor and presidential candidate, and Pat Buchanan, Richard Nixon’s paleoconservative speechwriter. The party of Abraham Lincoln and the upward arc is gone.

Georgia Repubes cancel election for state Supreme Court, so governor can appoint a Republican
Republicans will control a seat on the state Supreme Court for an extra two years.

New Axis of Evil, indeed.

US judge rules Florida felons can vote without paying legal fees
Judge Robert Hinkle says current law is unconstitutional but his ruling is likely to face Republican challenge in key battleground state

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ing-legal-fees

Repubes are well aware that if everyone is allowed to vote, the Repubes wouldn't have a chance in hell of winning many state and federal elections. So suppress they must.

Yes, they truly are this stupid.

Makes me wounder in these times of projecting if this is something the republicans secretly would like to do. Oh wait a minute they have our cell phone data now so is mute.
