Its not really a secret that conservatives are trying to rig our government in their favor. From gerrymandering House districts to passing strict voter ID laws, Republicans are doing everything they possibly can to disenfranchise voters who typically dont vote for their party. But the real problem with all of this isnt just that Republicans are trying to rig our government in their favor, its that conservatives really dont care. If their recent attempts to rig elections are successful, conservatives will benefit from all of these changes to voting laws and rules, so they couldnt care less if what their party is trying to do is completely unethical. Im a proud progressive, but I would never want to win elections by trying to fix the outcome. Thats not what our Constitution allows for. I can handle my side losing as long as the elections were fair, but when some are actively trying to change the system for their own political benefit, thats a huge problem. And thats exactly what conservatives are trying to do."
*I try not to be an alarmist, but people really need to start caring more about this before its too late. If we dont, progressives are going to wake up one day to a government completely controlled by Republicans, with laws put in place that make it nearly impossible to ever get power away from them.

(54,436 posts)The Republicans KNOW they can't win by letting a simple majority of voters have their say.
They have the money and the technology to prevent that. The question is: how blatant do they dare get?
