Why voting by mail is driving Trump crazy

So gentle reader, ask yourself: Is Donald Trump mad (as in angry) that he isn’t a dictator like Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong-un; or is he absolutely crazy (for power) and coming after American democracy and your voting rights to get as much of it as he can?

That’s right people, he’s coming after you; not just by putting masked, armed thugs on the streets; calling out the military to needlessly patrol L.A., D.C. (based on his lies about crime in the city), and perhaps Chicago; and firing the people who make government work for you (such as medical experts at the CDC, weather professionals in NOAA, lawyers at DOJ, and hundreds of critical staffers in the Defense Department, Social Security Administration, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Department of Education, FEMA, etc.).

Now he’s trying to rip your right to vote from you by illegally usurping the powers given to the states by the Constitution, so he can decide who votes and how your vote is counted, insuring he perpetuates his MAGA rule and completes his drive for total, authoritarian personal power.
