In my very red Virginia district, Republican heads are exploding.

67. Republicans need to get something straight...there's more of us than there are of them

The only way they stay in power is by gaming the system (aka: cheating). Gerrymandering, voter suppression, intimidation of minorities.

Sure, there are plenty of places where everyone votes Republican...but they are the minority, if you look at the bigger picture, and we cannot let them forget it. Moreover, their white nationalist/Xtian-fundamentalist agenda is rejected by the vast majority of U.S. citizens, whether they vote or not.

People clearly became too complacent under Obama's presidency, but this current clusterfuck is waking people up. Standing up for human rights is not "whining;" they're damn right we're complaining though, which is the right thing to do when there's something seriously wrong.

They can't wrap their heads around it because they mistakenly believe that all white people agree with them, and that people of color can be coerced into accepting disenfranchisement--they want to go back to the overtly racist policies of the mid-twentieth century, as if the whole civil rights movement never happened. Thing is, it did happen, and at the end of the day the people will stand up and fight for what's right.
