Yes, voting is important, but I still see it as not nearly enough

[First Speaker]

16. Will the time come when we need another Huey Long?

Right now, I would say "no". But in the mid-to-long(sic) run? What if the GOP, and its corrupt Supreme Court, really *does* openly attack democracy. What if millions of people really *do* get disenfranchised. What if they quit pretending and openly embrace authoritarianism, tell us that we're a republic, not a democracy, and just say in plain English they don't want blacks, women, and non-property holding whites to vote? Anyone think this is impossible? I don't. Some right-wing commentators are already all but saying this. When that day comes, will we have no choice but to go outside the "system"? Huey Long probably couldn't have accomplished anything, had he not taken the actions he did, given the stranglehold Standard Oil had on Louisiana. This thought--a "charismatic" left leader, a Long, an American Chavez...it scares me to death. But what the GOP has in mind scares me even more.
