Georgia Republican enraged at court order making it easier for people to vote

[Equinox Moon]

A federal judge on Thursday ordered Georgia to reopen voter registration before the June run-off for the open House seat in the sixth district, a move that will allow more eligible citizens to participate in the election.

On Monday, Republican candidate Karen Handel told her supporters that the “partisan” decision will “boil your blood.”

Someone help me understand why encouraging democracy is something republicans hate.
I truly want to understand this. Do any of them believe in democracy?

[Turbineguy]

1. Republicans believe in Power

If democracy gives them power, then they believe in democracy.

[Equinox Moon]

13. Yes, I believe this is part of it. Thanks.

2. democracy

No, they don't believe in democracy. Not since the numbers started turning against them.

[pangaia]

3. Do none of them believe in democracy?

NO

[Gothmog]

4. The GOP is the party of voter suppression and relies on voter suppression to win races

The GOP was trying to steal this race and got caught

[greymattermom]

5. Her whole campaign

is about "one of us". She says Jon Ossoff isn't "one of us". Yep, that's it. I know because I'm in Georgia 6, which contains some of the most diverse communities in the country.

8. It's the part of the ad that incenses me most. nt

[Kber]

20. Wow - substituting a dog whistle for a train whistle, I guess.

[Wounded Bear]

6. It's not a bug, it's a feature...

[Equinox Moon]

9. Thanks for the clip

We have a cancer in our society: republicans, Koch, and these organizations listed in the clip are the leading sickness.
They really do have something wrong with them.

[Wounded Bear]

10. There are extended versions of it out there on the net....nt

[JudyM]

12. True, a cancer.

[Aristus]

7. No, she probably said: "Bole yer bluud."

[LonePirate]

11. Preventing people from voting is what should boil our blood. She's massively unpatriotic.

We need to start countering these voter suppression tactics as un-American.

[Equinox Moon]

14. And, un-democratic

[LonePirate]

17. As truthful as that is, that term will only strengthen the resolve of those on the right.

The term undemocratic automatically implies something is pro-Republican to a lot of people. The terms un-American or unpatriotic or unconstitutional are better ones to use in our messaging.

[Equinox Moon]

18. Sounds good.

Have the correct meme language is key.

[Iggo]

15. Because when everybody votes, Republicans lose. (n/t)

[babylonsister]

16. Handel is running against Ossoff;

see who was denied registering and you have the answer because it most likely wasn't anyone who would vote rethug.

[MicaelS]

19. No they don't.

They believe in the US being a Republic. That means only certain folks are allowed to vote.

[FiveGoodMen]

21. "Do any of them believe in democracy?"

No.

They have revealed themselves to be Nazis at heart.

They do not want any sort of democracy.

They want the 4th Reich.

[CottonBear]

22. OK. I'm in GA: The GOP are greedy, racist, fascist motherfuckers.

It is that simple.

They are the worst kind of fundamentalist Xtian hypocrites.

They are out and out evil.

[NastyRiffraff]

23. "Do any of them believe in democracy?"

No. Not the kind of democracy that means anything. Not the kind that encourages voting by making it easy to vote.
