(4,908 posts)Before the 1st vote is cast in a Presidential Election, the score board has X amount for R, and X amount for D.
The Census was just completed, and think about the crap that Trump did to dilute the count for the nation, for the purpose of enhancing the GOP.
There are a limited number of swing states - and where are GOP governors or state houses that are controlled by the GOP, they do not give one damn about the vote, of what the voters wants; With the new voter suppression laws that they are proposing and passing - did you notice that they are saying that ultimately the will of the voters is secondary to the dictates of the GOP? Democracy means little to nothing to the GOP.
Since Reagan the GOP base has been fed the lies that the Democratic base is evil. Apparently, we eat babies at some pizza parlor in D.C.; That Obama was born in Kenya which apparently is part of Hawaii and because it is not part of the mainland - then it's in Africa.
I remember one protest sign that said, better to be Russian than a Democrat, and to this mindset one hopes that the truth will find a willing space? The cement has already hardened and hate; hate against POC; hate against people of different sexual orientations; hate against females that have an independent thought/mindset/etc.; hate against people that have a different religion; hate against the "Other"; My friend, maybe you might be right, but post Trump - to me, that ship has sailed and it's filled with hate.
