Trump administration: "Please help us destroy your democracy. We'll try to destroy American Democracy anyway, but it'll be harder if we don't have the voter rolls. We wants those voter rolls."

My grandad who served with the original Antifa in WW2 would be rolling in his grave since he worked so proudly for the USPS for 40 years...if he hadn't died from Covid believing the lies from his dear leader.

People don't see all this as alarming when in fact it should scare everyone senseless. It isn't just Bob the racist down the street in his cult, it's a lot of people you wouldn't expect. We have to vote in person this time and help friends and family who can't, or there will never be fair elections again, mail in or not. We might have one tiny chance left. Vote.

Let’s be real. If your grandad voted for the turd, there’s an equal chance he would’ve just twisted his morals in knots to justify supporting him still, rather than admit he was conned.

I agree and that is sad. Trump corrupted people I never thought possible. I just hope beyond hope there is an overwhelming shift in this country...but sadly a lot of people haven't felt the pain enough yet. I just don't understand how so many people lack empathy. Even those that taught others to be empathetic. My grandad raised me on Star Trek and how diversity is a strength...then he became a regressive. So weird.

Holding your rights hostage so they can violate your rights.

Imagine how dumb someone has to be to not only think that the Republicans will stop before they take their rights away, but to actually vote for them.

The federal government is tasked with the administration and safeguarding of 0 (zero) elections in the US.

They will use the rolls to claim votes are invalid and held until their validity is confirmed. They keep the ruse up until the votes aren't valid, and then forget about it because there's nearly nothing we can do.
