All of the shit hitting the fan lately

thrown there by the GOP, the GOP court, the GOP administration is designed to make me give up. I refuse to abandon the ideals, laws, and principles of the United States as I learned them in school and the military. All the bullshit. gutting the Voting Rights Act, tossing out the voted approved redistricting, cramming another redistricting through to negate black Americans influence in Tennessee as well as too many others to list is meant to make me throw up my hands and cry 'Enough! I quit, what difference will my efforts make?'
Fear not fellow DU'ers, this is the storm raging and their actions are because they know they can't win without cheating. We must flood the polls at election time, resist vocally (there are still a great many Americans on the fence or only slightly interested in all this) and we have to show them the way of the GOP means the elimination of the middle class. Can't/won't let that happen on my watch. Keep the FAITH baby! (shout out to the late Adam Clayton Powell).

I think they can sense the severity of the backlash coming for them and are doing everything they can to soften the impact, a small group of people are living in a fantasy world at the expense of everyone else, they fear the people

I think Liberals just stayed home last election. The other side were more motivated and voted. I think that will flip this time around
