• Check your registration here as well. Some states have purged voter rolls and you may need to register again. • Some states require you to register 30 days before the election you wish to vote in. • If you have questions check with your local election officials.
For fun: see if there is ongoing litigation surrounding your states election laws that cause the problems above. All swing states, and many others- are currently being litigated to address the disenfranchisement of voters.
Also the party of misogynists, bigots, morons and traitors.

The saying “I’m a republican and I’m not a racist!” should NOT be a thing. Yet here we are.

If trump dropped the hard ‘R’ tonight, fox and friends tomorrow would sound like this:
“You may not like some of the president’s choice of words, you may not think they’re very politically correct, but this is how the forgotten men and women of America talk! They feel like their country is being taken away from them and they aren’t going to stand for it! You may not like the way they express this, but Real ‘Murricans know whats in their heart”

But somehow calling them out on their racism means both sides are the problem. That both sides should “stop the fighting”. Only one side has an issues with civil rights rn and it’s not the democrats. I don’t see how that’s the fault of “both sides”

I am sorry but this is not *just* weird. It is racist, weird, and fucking insane.
If weird was a bullet, this is a goddamn nuke.

The GOP flipped in the 60s when Southern Dems didn’t want to vote for a Catholic ie Kennedy.
The entire party is based on racism.

What I think is worse, is that even if they’re not all racists, none of them care that racism is still a problem in America.

Article left out Republican Senator Mike Lee from the list. And a few others.
It’s really troubling how multiple Republican senators, which is the most powerful elected federal office short of the pres and maybe vice-pres, publicly repeated this fake report. Sure, if they confirmed it to be true, I’d expect them to exploit it for racist purposes. That’s bad enough.
But for the very top Republican officeholders in the country to so immediately accept and broadcast such a suspicious-sounding rumor without first checking that it’s true. That’s worrisome for reasons of its own. Sure, I’m used to abject stupidity from their lower bench, people like MTG and Boebert. But now their senators are this gullible too?

The election is neck and neck, despite an excellent economy, because republican voters don’t want a black woman president. Period.
MAGA voters don’t give a flying fig about macroeconomics.
The economy is doing great.
And it does not matter to MAGA.
What matters to MAGA is race and immigration.
And this is a world wide phenomenon.
In Germany, the anti-immigrant, neo-Nazi “Alternative for Germany” party is now the second largest party in the country.
Orban’s Hungary has actually built a wall to keep migrants out while pushing hard for Hungarian women to have more children.
Modi’s Hindu Nationalist party rules India and is violently anti-Muslim.
Given the demographics of shrinking birth rates in western countries and the need to import more and more non-white immigrants to keep the economy functioning, this white power nativist racist populism will remain a permanent part of American politics (with a side order of homophobia, misogyny and anti-science from the religious right).
The republican party has morphed under Trump into America’s racist anti-immigrant party, just like “Hindu Nationalism” and “Alterative for Germany”.
Republican bigotry has always been there under the surface since Nixon’s Southern Strategy to court Southern whites who hated the overturning of Jim Crow.
But it has metastasized like a cancer and finally took over its host body under Trump.
What will save American democracy is that MAGA voters have shorter lifespans (caused by vaccine denial born of their hatred of science, drug abuse, alcoholism and obesity) and a general apathetic attitude unless offered a charismatic leader to mindlessly follow.
However, if the next Trump is smarter, more clever at hiding his aims and less of an obnoxious asshole we could see a racist dictatorship in this country.

Lying is Republican politics. Irresponsible, blatant dishonesty that gets people hurt. They don’t give a damn about people.

Tell me something I don’t know.
Always have been! Nixon was awful
Yes, for about 70 years now. Conservatives have always been racists but they weren’t always republicans.
Yup.
Republicans: no we’re not you f’n n-word
Let me know when they say something that isn’t racist, sexist, or a flat-out lie.
Is this “state the obvious” day? I feel like this ground is well-trod at this point.
