The GOP controlled states are changing voting laws in hope it will give them an
advantage. Personally voting in my community has changed little in my memory. You go to the polls and vote. The only change I have seen is to show a id card with a
picture of me on it. If people know they may be in line for hours they should prepare
themselves for it. If they don't like long lines they should get rid of politicians that
cause them.
What is the GOP afraid of? Laws are being passed to cover up the darkest history of
how African Americans have been treated across the United States. Not just slavery, but since the civil war. When the freed slaves were treated as bad or worse as they
were under slavery. While these human beings have made gains, they still suffer
discrimination and mistreatment, apparently due to the color of their skin.
I think is time decent people hold the GOP responsible for their racist acts, and
their attempt to take rights away from people of color. Until they give Trump the boot
and return to their conservative roots, and support of our democracy, They should lose
election after election. Trump wants to return to power, and create an autocracy
with him as it's permanent leader. He apparently has convinced the GOP leadership
he has the power to cost them control of the government if they don't support him.
So the majority of GOP politicians fear to say anything against Trump.
Due to his threat to run people against them in primaries.
If this attempt by Trump and the far right succeed in wrecking our democracy. Many
will suffer, because self interested rich people will gain while the poor and the needy
will lose and die in the streets, from sickness and hunger. If the self interested rich
think people will suffer and die quietly, they are in for a surprise.
A strong economy needs a society with reasonably happy people with money to spend.
Otherwise businesses will fail, along with crime which could wreck gains by the rich.
Something I really doubt Trump could understand and would likely want to blame
others for the nations troubles.
The last thing we need to do is return to the time where groups like the K K K and
others ran the country. It was groups like this who caused the attack on a prosperous
Black suburb of Tulsa Oklahoma, leaving hundreds of it's citizens dead and thousands homeless. Attacks on people of color were common between the days of the civil war
until the mid 1960's.
If we allow hate groups to grow in the country once more, our society will suffer.
Not only that, our economy will suffer with growing violence across the nation.
During the early days of the 20th century, the white race dominated society, but this
will soon end. No matter what the GOP or people like Trump want. I fear if we allow
the GOP to control the country, democracy will end with a push to create an autocracy
with Trump as it's leader. A leader who cares only for himself, and little else.
