Thom, it seems to me in inescapable reality that all of these voter suppression measures are creating a huge match requiring just one event, or one charismatic person, to touch it off. When you tell enough people, especially in self-identifiable groups, that they atr being frozen out of the system that oppresses them and favors others, you leave them with but one alternative, and we all know what that is. I don’t want that. No decent, rational American would. But if these insupportable tactics continue, we will deserve the whirlwind that will ensue. I say that with some bitterness, because while I am a staunch progressive and supporter of the voting rights of all of us, my family and I are white and on the outside seemingly privileged, and the bullets will only see that, not what is in our hearts. That scenario is what the morbidly rich, their puppet tfg, and his deplorable cultists are creating. May they be appropriately rewarded. Though, if history is any guide, they won’t be.
Langston Hughes's poem "Harlem," the one that begins "What happens to a dream deferred?," might be applied to voter suppression: if legal, nonviolent ways to make change are blocked, what recourse do people have? It's a short poem, easy to remember: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46548/harlem
yes, I don't understand why there are not Hispanic and black armed voting observers at the polls. I don't understand why there aren't lawsuits against red states waged by black and hispanic parents who "feel uncomfortable" by the lack of accurate history being taught, and lawsuits by parents of gay students who feel uncomfortable by the existence of heterosexual books and teachings they are subject to. Why aren't we matching their games?

In reality a lot of Democrats are frozen out. Register Democrats - save democracy.
