Gutting Out the Vote 0

Will Bunch looks at newly released evidence of Republicans’ efforts to undermine the power of the polling place. A nugget (emphasis added):

If you’re thinking that hidden ads on Facebook alone couldn’t have caused this (the 2016 results in Wisconsin–ed.), you’re right. Experts also found that Wisconsin’s strict voter ID laws kept thousands more at home in November 16 — another implement in a giant Republican toolbox that is broadly labelled as “voter suppression.” Simply put, with its white and increasingly working-class base of supporters shrinking every year, GOP strategy increasingly relies on finding ways not to win over a diverse electorate but to find ways to keep those folks from voting at all.

“Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and prospefity (sic) are,” Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee wrote on Twitter Thursday, as the formerly silent part of voter suppression is now becoming a roar. “We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that.”

The American Antithesis 0

At the Bangor Daily News, Jack Nobel makes the case that Donald Trump is antithetical to America’s founding values (however sporadically and imperfectly those values may have been manifest in the past). A snippet:

There are thousands of small town memorials to American veterans who went to war and died to defeat German Nazis who marched, wore swastikas and chanted in torch-lit parades. Today, we have an American president who is supported by marchers who proudly display those same symbols as did the Nazis in World War II. What does that say for our promise to honor the deep sacrifice of our fathers and grandfathers who risked their lives to fight that hatred?

The Answer 0

Charniele Herring answers Donald Trump at The Roanoke Times. A nugget:

Whenever Donald Trump thinks he’s talking to Black voters, the question he loves to ask is, “what do you have to lose?” The answer to that question has always been obvious, but never quite as clear as it is right now: just about everything.
