In reply to the discussion: Why we should be very afraid of Trumps vote suppression commission [View all]Solly Mack
(90,762 posts)5. K&R
I agree. It should worry people.
If we had a healthy democracy, Trump wouldn't be president.
If we had a healthy democracy - conservative/right-wingers/republicans - wouldn't be able to get away with the voter suppression already on the books in some states.
If we had a healthy democracy, our civil/human rights wouldn't be up for debate and under attack.
We don't have a healthy democracy and that means other abuses can - and will - happen.
The thinking, should anyone be entertaining such thoughts, that what is happening in America now is indicative of a healthy democracy is an example of just how far off the rails America has gone.
It's not normal. It's not a sign of a healthy democracy.

They intend to rig 23 states' elections from Washington, DC Central. That simple.

Excellent information, thanks. End runs around these 45 agents seem to be the future.
