It is horrifying to watch. Certainly also because yeah he did not even veil his intentions. This is to stymie mail-in ballots, plain and simple, he can be 100% transparent about this one. His sycophant party, the inherently moderate Republicans, won't do anything to stop him, won't do anything to secure a free and fair election, won't do anything to preserve democracy. And neither does the Trump electorate, that by all indications overwhelmingly would be in favor of outlawing the democratic party and erecting a one-party system.
Scary beyond belief. And one voice that's in my head is the one of Susan Collins, who represents cowardice like no one else could. The president has learned a big lesson, she said, the president has been impeached, so of course he has. Oh yes he has, you spineless creature. Her has learned that with folks like you and cynical leaders like McConnell on the helm, he can do anything.
On the bright side, if elections get doubted, kneecapped and finally cancelled, no one has to worry about the dangerous, america-hating leftist extremists any longer. USA! UST!
