I guess Republicans don't realize that with all of their baseless, brazen voter suppression laws

[LaMouffette]

they're trying to pass and have actually passed, that they are only fueling Democratic outrage and making it more likely that we will, once again, show up in droves to vote in 2022. Thanks, GQP, for ginning up our base!

1. And they've just made it harder for their people to vote

Here in FL up until 2020, it was Republicans who primarily voted by mail. We Democrats did a big VBM push and it changed those numbers, though not the electoral outcome.

These idiots have just shot their own voters in the foot.

4. They're ok with loosing a few of their own voters to achieve their ends.

They really don't see a need for voters anyway. They use nominating conventions instead of having a primary election and want senators to be appointed, not elected. So if they loose a few republican voters on the way to achieving their goal of not letting anyone vote, so be it.

2. Yes, and somehow they are so stupid, they think their inane laws will ONLY effect democrats. Many

democrats, as well as some republicans, are really getting pissed off with the GOP crap. I think there will be a massive surge in democratic voting. Also, many are starting to think of this NEW GOP as a domestic terrorist party.

5. Methinks they have already made that calculation. In FL for example, they may lose say...

30 of every 100 R voters yet block maybe 60 of 100 D voters. If even close to the truth, they win and we lose.

6. I don't think those numbers are close to accurate, but your point is well-taken. Unfortunately.

7. What happened in Florida is 53% of dem votes were VBM

vs 35% of repub votes being VBM. DeSatan is too stupid to realize that was due to covid which the Dems took seriously and the Repubs laughed off.

8. True. The point of Southern Strategy is to hurt many people, but more Democrats than Republicans.

3. Desperate people do desperate things.

[Crunchy Frog]

9. They're doing what they can to ensure that Democratic votes either won't happen or won't count.

I don't feel like it's a good idea to underestimate them.
