On The Trail: GOP's tyranny of the minority

Republican lawmakers in Washington and around the country are increasingly embracing measures to limit voting access after losing the highest-turnout election in American history.

The party's embrace of restrictive new measures and rollbacks of popular vote-by-mail and early voting programs that enjoyed bipartisan support just a few years ago is a reflection of the new incentive structure facing the Grand Old Party.

Rather than recalibrating positions after an electoral loss to better appeal to the vast middle, Republicans today appear to see more advantage in excluding as many voters as possible from communities likely to vote Democratic.

In Georgia, the GOP-controlled state House this week voted to strictly limit absentee and early voting.

But as in WWII when The Allies (who were ALL anitfa) adopted this tactic and used
military action to totally destroy the fascist military, infrastructure and civilian population we
are again at a point where our best course of action is the complete destruction of all
things fascist. And that means the reTHUGS. As I end writing this I find myself humming
the song "We did it before and we can do it again"... Are you ready? LET'S GO!
