Dec 2018

for instance they're planning to pass a bill that will put republicans in charge of elections during every election year.

i don't believe these "laws" will hold, but the willingness to do this and the transparently anti american, anti democratic nature of these power grabs are so sick.

i'll be dead before this country is okay again, if it will be.
