The decline to moral bankruptcy of the GOP

Because eating a Falafel or Shwarma makes you a Terrorist (at least to the Tennessee Highway Patrol):

I wonder if he liked the Avengers…

I mean, clearly the Avengers hated it.

Look, if you hate falafel or shawarma then we can’t be friends.

David French, NRO. Due process, what’s that?
(This is an exchange between French and Jonathan Chait. French is pulling on the Antifa chain, hence is mention of violence. I couldn’t bear to read the whole thing.)

This shit is ridiculous.

This is one reason the GOP needs Originalists on the SC, so they can make sure none of the states get together and create any shared voter registration system to help eliminate fraud and make sure duplicate registrations are prevented. Because if there is no chance of voter registration errors, then they lose the justification for the voter roll purging. All it takes in a red state nowadays is not voting in two or three elections in a row, or not responding after ONE returned nondelivery mailing, and you will be suspended or removed and pushed into the other line to vote provisionally, which is extra time and hassle to vote.

Not to mention

They are flat-out trying to steal the election.

How can we know that native Americans aren’t illegal immigrants?

They stole the last one and faced zero repercussions. So we should expect it.

This is so perfect it should be on a billboard somewhere. I actually half-expect Hannity to use these exact words if/when he discusses the issue on his show.

On a more serious note, what is happening in this country is disgusting. Election rigging on a national scale, with hundreds of thousands if not millions of citizens stripped of their Constitutional rights, and thousands more who were promised citizenship (and the resulting rights) having that promise revoked despite having done everything required to obtain it. All in the name of keeping one party in control…and why isn’t the other party screaming bloody murder in the media?

What is going to happen in this country if the midterms clearly show the blue wave thwarted by GOP election rigging?

Furious tweeting.

I bet there will be a lot of online petitions too, and news articles saying thousands have signed an online petition.

There have been a group of people rallying for Trump’s 2020 election on an I-95 overpass during rush hour this past week.

…It’s doubly annoying because it has been creating traffic slowdowns.

Well, you’ll be happy to know the GOP supports you if you’d like to run them over, and will protect your right to do so!

*God I hate Discourse… wouldn’t let me put a list of four clickable links into a post without trying to be too clever by half and dropping two of them.

At some point, if enough people really believe that the election system is not fair and/or is being manipulated, then we have ceased to be a functional democracy. At that point, either the losers can accept their status, or shit is going to get real ugly.

I guess I should be…angry? But instead I’m trying to figure out wtf is going on in this video.

Maybe the GOP is OK with the idea of 60’s-level political violence breaking out nationwide. It would accelerate the movement toward authoritarianism. A GOP base terrified of poor people, immigrants and blacks would permit, even demand martial law.
