In reply to the discussion: Holy shit they're real. (Perdue/Loeffler billboard): [View all]mountain grammy
(26,568 posts)36. All my hopes are pinned on Georgia
You'd think I'd learn by now, but I just can't help it. Voter suppression has worked so well for Republicans for the last decades, but Georgia went for Biden and my heart soared. I can see the rest of the south following. I only hope I'm still around to see it.
The other day, I watched the documentary "All In" and there was a clip from a speech LBJ gave when introducing the Voting Rights Act and I loved the end; he looked right into the faces of Republicans and said in that deep souther drawl.. "we shall overcome" with emphasis on the 'shall.' I remember watching that on tv with my mom and her saying "Yes! we shall."
Oh please save us, Georgia!
