      Voters are now realizing that they have crossed into the twilight zone: citizens of America without full citizenship rights. The right to vote is central to American democracy. “It’s preservative of all rights,” the Supreme Court said in 1886. https://nyti.ms/2Me4YWd pic.twitter.com/ItKpDGe3xP

          The lesson from 2000? Lie often. Say the lies loud and with pride. Lie over and over and over. Lie without shame. Lie until the truth is drowned out, dead. Lie until no amount of evidence could convince anyone otherwise. Read on, from @ProfCAndersonhttps://nyti.ms/2Me4YWd

          This is a horrifying example of Republican’s thinking on voting rights. They never intend or intended in the past to play “fair”. They know they’re a dying party without cheating in some way whether it’s gerrymandering or fraud of some kind. This is infuriating and unacceptable.

          There are many things we've gotta do to fix democracy: auto voter registration, make election day a national holiday, lots more voting time and locations, paper ballots, etc. Dems must fix, cuz Rs never will. They don't want us to vote. They don't like democracy.

          This makes me so damned mad. God only knows how many millions of people have been blocked from voting or disenfranchised. The bottom line is that Republicans only want white people to vote. Voting Republican is for institutionalized white supremacy.

          Agreed. The GOP is not popular. Their ideals are not what Americans want. They are against the average American. And the only way they have won Anything is by lying and cheating.

          Anti-abortion laws make no honest sense. The *abortion is murder* claim is absurd. "You made your bed" is self-righteous arrogance. Anti-abortion law is power to degrade women & strip them of their rights. It exists to force women to carry children for men against their will.

          Making abortion illegal is exactly analogous to legalized rape. Force a woman to carry a child. Any man's child regardless of situation. Even rape. Because Sperm are sacred & inviolate. The legislators, the judges, the anti-abortion rapists all get that old victimizing thrill.

          Your president is illegitimate. Won on a razor-thin margin due to campaign finance violations, stolen Facebook data, and abetting a Russian cyber attack.
