This is the future this hate group has for this country, they know that the browning of America will be the end of their party and I don't mean that they will just loose a election. They will be put in the history book where they belong. After many decades of treating minorities and immigrants like ****, there is no way they would vote for this hate group with any numbers. Their solution is to destroy the backbone of democracy to stay relevant, take away the vote of it's people. they would destroy this country for power and money
1. We will start with the Indian reservation- how do you take away their voting privileged, by saying they need a address to vote,knowing that Indian reservations only give post box numbers, which can't be used as a address to the Native Americans. That's what they are doing all across the country.
2.
“For the last 40 years, polling places have matched signatures rather than photographs, enabling people to vote without an ID. But following President Obama’s two victories in 2008 and 2012, that began to change.”
Consider the numbers once again. As a result of the law and Scott’s extension of it, 1.5 million Florida voters are barred from the polls.
3.
"There Are 868 Fewer Places to Vote in 2016 Because the Supreme Court Gutted the Voting Rights Act
Nearly half of counties that previously approved voting changes with the federal government have cut polling places this election." The number is way over 1000 now.

This is what the right is willing to do to. They will destroy our democracy to stay relevant.

The Republican Party has for YEARS done nothing but cheat and change the rules in order to stay in power. Take a gander at this scumbag in Georgia who's purging the voter rolls, or basically Kris Kobach's entire career. And it's not illegal voters they're purging, either. Between their systematic attempt to strip traditional Democratic blocs from the rolls, and their absolutely insane partisan gerrymandering, the GOP has proven it will do whatever it takes to maintain power.

Conservatives love to jizz all over themselves when they brag about how Democrats have lost X amount of seats at various levels of government over the last 10 years, yet they fail to recognize that it's the GOP's machinations that made that possible. The GOP wins because they cheat. Pure and simple.

The Republican Party is hot garbage. I hate it with the burning passion of a thousand supernovas.

The GOP is an odd relic. To survive it has gone to war with diversity, with multiculturalism, with the global community, and even with the virtues of humility and compassion.

It is an animal surviving off the resentments it itself has manufactured. It can no longer govern beyond attacking minority groups or cutting taxes. It has perverted patriotism into an excuse for xenophobia where the culture war is now generational.

The only reason the GOP can exist in its current state is because it lacks a worthy opponent. When the Pelosi and Schumer crowd are gone, I don't think any amount of gerrymandering or voter purges can save the GOP.

I think the GOP base has been riding a high since 2016, but that has all been predicated on thinking the other side is always worse and any action is justified. Eventually they will see the world they create for themselves and figure out they cannot blame the opposition. None of the people they hated are still around. They are fighting ghosts, not the movement of today.

Your not uncommon mix of arrogance and ignorance is exactly why Trump is president

And they're SO SNEAKY, following the Constitution, the LAW, and preventing illegal voting whenever possible...those dirty SOBs!!


Tell us all again how black people are TOO STUPID/INCOMPETENT to obtain photo IDs in 2018....at least...that's what the Fraudocrats keep telling us....

Nope, that's wrong. Stop trying to blame people who despise Trump for Trump getting elected.

Idiots who don't know any better voted for Trump. Period, end of discussion. This is not our fault. It's yours. You own this shitshow.
 
This ... is beautiful.

Eventually, people are going to wake up. THAT will be beautiful.

I don't have a very high opinion of the Democrats, mind you, but Christ, I don't think I could have a lower opinion of the Republicans, at least on a national level. These people are a disease.

They are not going to know what hit them on November the 6th, and I can't what for their meltdown.

I'm not as optimistic as you are. What's happening openly in Georgia is happening clandestinely everywhere else. I fully expect the lying, cheating, sniveling dirtbag Republicans to maintain power. They own all levels of government, and they will not let it go quietly.

And they gained all of this power through theft. All of it. They stole the Supreme Court, they stole Congress, and they stole the presidency. Republicans are thieves, liars and charlatans.

While I could be wrong, all of the metrics for the Democrats to take control of the House are there.

There are about sixteen GOP seats that Cook rates as goners, while a full thirty GOP toss-ups remain (with more expected to be added). That means the Democrats only need a batting average of about 33% in the toss-ups to get the job done for the House.

Since when does freedom destroy?

Honestly. Leftists lost 1200+ seats throughout the country over the last few years. I personally believe it will take some doings for the kookers to secure the House. The party of corruption can forget the senate, ain't gonna happen.

The nation is better off today, than it was under The Regime. I know it, and the g-damned kookers know it. And that's why they are crapping their pants.

Just saying.
 
Explain what's happening in Georgia right now.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/12/politics/georgia-voter-lawsuit-brian-kemp/index.html

Please stop lying.

What's happening in Georgia right now: Poverty Pimp Democrats are so racist they are saying African Americans are to stupid to obtain proper ID or fill out voter registration. Therefore all voter ID must be abolished so they can fill busses with Crack Whores, Street Bums and Illegal Aliens. So they can be driven to different polling stations to vote Democrat several times.

:lol: :lol: Dude, you are like every right wing talking point, all rolled into one.
 
This rabid slobbering all over each other while you bloviate your delusions is exactly why people voted for Trump. He’s just one big middle finger to your tantrum.

Idiots who don't know any better voted for Trump. Period, end of discussion. This is not our fault. It's yours. You own this shitshow.

Even when you are told otherwise, it still can’t penetrate that thick skull. We know we voted for Trump. We know why we voted for Trump. We got no problem owning it. We also got no problem admitting the more you cry the more likely we are to vote for him again.

There were plenty of smart people who voted for Trump, not because they thought he should be president, but mostly because of liberal attitudes like yours towards the conservatives/GOP

That's not what the facts say.

According to numerous studies published in peer reviewed journals, the primary driving forces of Trump voters were racism, sexism, and fear.

Research Finds That Racism, Sexism, and Status Fears Drove Trump Voters


All this other talk is just deflecting away from what's really driving the Trump support. That's why Trump is constantly appealing to the racists and sexists when he needs to energize his base. It's almost always the same: Attack a woman, and attack brown skinned people, and the base eats it up.

One group loved Trump’s remarks about Charlottesville: White supremacists

Have you even bothered to read that "study"?

someones opinion on why someone voted one way is hardly a scientific study or what any reasonable person would call a fact.

The researcher (a lose term at this point) took cross sections of 2 different exit polls 2012 and 2016 (because as she admit there is virtually no real data on why people voted the way they did) and simply guessed why they voted that way

Here is her reasoning on why people didnt vote for Trump based on perceived economic opportunity, "Trump’s victory took place in the context of an economic recovery. Throughout the year preceding the election, unemployment was falling, and economic indicators were on the upswing."

While true as an overall economy there were plenty of economic sectors and geographical regions that had not recovered and were desperate for a change


Here are the real facts, its my opinion vs yours but Im telling you that Im giving you my opinion and you are presenting yours as a fact and looking down on those who dont. This is the mix of arrogance and ignorance that I am talking about

Numerous studies by sore loser snowflakes looking to confirm their bias,.

In other words, Trump got elected because rational and reasonable people are tired of being ruled by people with your kind of thinking.

No, that's exactly what numerous studies show. I understand that many Trump supporters do not like the fact that their racism and sexism are being exposed, but that's too bad imo.

Of course, feel free to refute the studies. All the data, methodology, reasoning, statistics, etc., are all right there. But "NUH UH!" is not a refutation of a study published in a peer reviewed journal. I'll look forward to you publishing your refutation.

Nope. Sorry. Your opinion does not count more than numerous studies published in peer reviewed journals.
