Election workers are scared, but there is hope
It’s safe to say that if Americans were fully informed and voting in their best interests, there would be no Republicans. That may sound a tad flippant, but it’s undoubtedly true.
Republicans have long known this, which is why they rely so heavily on divisive culture war issues, rank dishonesty, and voter suppression to ensure that billionaires can continue to be taxed at lower rates than ordinary workers.
What sounds better? Universal access to health care; economy-boosting, green-energy infrastructure investments; reproductive freedom; and a strong commitment to democracy, the rule of law, and our democratic allies—or Vladimir Putin’s best friend appointing three more SCOTUS justices and generally acting like a drunk howler monkey randomly walking into spider webs for the next four years?
We all know the answer.
And so it goes that since the 2020 election, which Donald Trump continues to claim was stolen because he’s an absurd man-child with the intellectual gravitas of a tic-tac-toe-playing chicken, the GOP has added another weapon to its anti-democratic arsenal: sowing fear, chaos, and confusion in our elections.
