When in sulfuric hell are enough of my fellow non-elite white Americans going to wise up and start voting their material self-interest instead of their vacuum-skulled prejudices?

I ask this because the ONLY reason this evil strategy of supressing non-white voters works for the Treason Party (fka GOP) is that so many of my fellow non-elite white Americans don't know what's good for them, so they keep voting "conservative", even though they're not rich, and realistically, never will become rich. That's why disenfranchising non-white citizens works for the Treason Party.

So do the fascists really think if they keep us from voting we'll just fold our hands, go back to our proper social places and give them power over us?

Yes, that's what they think.

They'll be right, right up until the day they are wrong.

Neither they, nor we, know exactly which straw will finally break the camel's back.

But as Saruman said to Frodo, that will not be my doing. I merely foretell.

If Democrats ever get firm control of both Congress and the White House at the same time (their control of the Senate now is tenuous), they might raise taxes on affluent and richer people, including rich media owners and affluent higher-ranking media employees.

Need I say more?

Will his commission mention how a state that prides itself on energy production managed to build an utterly shit electric grid?

Yes. Unless of course, we unfuck the courts.

My dad tried to treat the 2 of us equally but he did name me (who was in law school at the time he wrote the wills) as opposed to my brother (who was basically homeless or living with them) and for some reason my brother accepted that. Fortunately, because he was always one to tell other people what to do with their lives, money, etc. I think maybe because he did respect my dad (the MALE) and because he was lazy, he deferred to me.

First we have to expand the Supremes.

I really don't think Mitch is going to be around for that much longer, just because he's got the moola to live any way he wants, out of D.C.

We can find a way to help the disenfranchised vote.

Also; Biden can Executive Order stuff.

There is hope. This will backfire. Also; The GOP electorate is mostly older and slowly dying out.

Also; Voting isn't banned. It's just harder to do but we can volunteer to help others jump those hurdles.

Also; Many Whites are Democrats. Many Whites are against bigotry.

We must call Synema and Manchin and DEMAND they do the right thing and vote in favor of the new Voting Rights Act.

Then we must demand that each of our Democratic representative fight dirty.

Then demand that Biden do something. Can a POTUS fire a SCOTUS? Maybe we can impeach Kavanaugh. Get Biden to expand SCOTUS.

Finally; I made an HTML of a TIME Magazine article (since it was a 'free' article but one has to pay to read TIME)... https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
