But nothing is going to shut down elections.

The MagaBomber thing is just now starting to sink in with sane Americans. The more the vote is threatened the harder Americans will fight back.

2016 was an exercise in apathy. Not happening now.

That said, and my post prove it, I am not sanguine about this election. It will be close. But trying to scare Americans from the polls is the best way to get them to vote.

I apologize for my disrespectful one word reply to your post. Not my normal style. But nothing is normal now. And typing on an IPhone sucks!

Have a nice evening.
