They will have to do that because they won’t alienate or push their base away and their base is about it to lose their god damn minds if trump loses Once Trump is gone the entire right of this country will act as if he never existed. (He'll still be revered) Anything Trump did or said will simply be projected onto the left. Things like say.... election security. (Democrats cheating) Racism. (Started when Trump left office) Voter fraud. (Left cheated) Corrupt Justice System and AG. (whomever is AG will be the most corrupt in history) Corrupt appointments. (Democrats playing politics) Stacking the Courts. (Democrats playing politics) Economic Recovery. (Democrats ****ed up the economy) Debt. (Democrats = National Debt) Coronavirus.

Destino Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 This attempt to sabotage the post office has been rolling around in my head, and yesterday it felt entirely too brazen. Today it feels like we should have anticipated it, because it’s entirely on brand for the GOP. They’ve spent how long closing down voting locations and finding reasons to scrub eligible voters from the lists? Longer than I’ve been alive to be sure. They weren’t going to let the mail or a pandemic stop their overall strategy of voter suppression. A political party built around the general belief that the people are a major obstacle to be overcome, seems like heavy handed foreshadowing to me. But here we are.

Aye, conservatism by itself isn't the enemy, its a party that isn't pretending to be conservative anymore. Can't defend them and keep a straight face, jus cannot expect folks to become Democrats just because they can't live with being Republicans. Its unfortunatly why so many of them still vote they way, most know third party votes are hopeless 9 times out of 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post office thing scares me. What scares me more is that this is likely just the first brazen GOP attempt to shut down voting. They are also going to do all of the things you mention, but without the veneer of impartiality that they've at least attempted before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that they would have gotten away with it too, if it were for those meddling democrats (and/or media). By it being known 90 days out, I dont see the Party of Trump being able to do it.

Jumbo Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 warning---this post openly and lovingly embraces godwin's law 🙈 it truly is time to amputate the right wing of the dodo bird i suggest viewing trump supporters just like the majority of the nation viewed the nazi party's supporters, who also sprung from a more 'regular/normal' right-wing political party, and moving forward make them equally unwanted, unacceptable, and rejected in every manner possible short of literal warfare and armaments...unless of course you're standing your ground where applicable or defending yourself 🇺🇸 however many years it takes, start for real in 2020...it starts with voting trump out by a big margin no matter what, and go from there, whatever it takes and regardless of how this suggestion may seem on its surface, do yourself a favor (heard a high schooler talking about this on radio) and just read the wiki page link below for a schoolhouse rock refresher, no matter how well you already know this stuff...just note what's happening here, now, compared to what you read in the first few paragraphs...sadly, it is not an absurdity any longer to compere where the gop has gone and is still headed, to the past https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Idiot, the only way the status of one's parents comes into play is if you are born on foreign soil. See John Mccain.

mistertim Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Christ. I just did something I promised myself never to do again. (no, not kill and eat people) I got into a twitter argument. I kept asking right wingers about proof of mail in voter fraud. They kept replying with links that said dead people, etc were getting absentee registrations. I asked over and over if there was any proof that those dead people were actually voting. I even somehow lured a CA Republican congressional candidate into the fray too. It was like banging my head against a goddamn brick cactus. I need a ****ing drink. Now I know why I swore a while ago to never do that again.

He still has 85 million twitter followers and he is going to be bashing Biden and Dems 24/7. He will still wield the same power he has now because he will still have his base of support only they will be even more radicalized after feeling like a coup happened or an election was stolen from them. No Republican is going to go against Trump and that base. None of that goes away just because he lost and it will only become worse and more magnified since they will all have to buy into the conspiracies that explain away his election defeat. If they don't, some other trump bootlicking nazi will just take their place in a primary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the same things apply as sociopath Ted, the Donald was born on US soil (Ted wasn't.. one of his parents was American) so he's an american citizen.

mistertim Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Wonderful. Postal Service warns 46 states their voters could be disenfranchised by delayed mail-in ballots Quote Anticipating an avalanche of absentee ballots, the U.S. Postal Service recently sent detailed letters to 46 states and D.C. warning that it cannot guarantee all ballots cast by mail for the November election will arrive in time to be counted — adding another layer of uncertainty ahead of the high-stakes presidential contest. The letters sketch a grim possibility for the tens of millions of Americans eligible for a mail-in ballot this fall: Even if people follow all of their state’s election rules, the pace of Postal Service delivery may disqualify their votes. The Postal Service’s warnings of potential disenfranchisement came as the agency undergoes a sweeping organizational and policy overhaul amid dire financial conditions. Cost-cutting moves have already delayed mail delivery by as much as a week in some places, and a new decision to decommission 10 percent of the Postal Service’s sorting machines sparked widespread concern the slowdowns will only worsen. Rank-and-file postal workers say the move is ill-timed and could sharply diminish the speedy processing of flat mail, including letters and ballots.
