"Those voters look fraudulent!" --The GOP |
Well, break my crossed fingers. This election was as horrifying as Carrie White's prom. I really see a door closing now. This was our last chance to change Citizens' United, our last chance to stop Republicans from their targeted disenfranchisement of Democratic voters. Call me bitter, but I think that after the GOP knocked millions of Democratic voters off the rolls across the country, their victory in this election was sealed. Gerrymandering, the Koch Brothers, and Citizens' United did the rest.
I don't believe the Supreme Court didn't stop Texas from disenfranchising 600,000 voters, likely Democratic voters. For that ruling alone, I thinking people should spit Scalia's name and picture where ever they see it for the next century.
I'm convinced that elections in the US will joke from here on out. Conservatives have the upper hand now, and they're choosing to bring us back to the good ol' days, which for them was Jim Crow and the Gilded Age.
What surprises me is how little these tactics have been mentioned as the cause of the election bloodbath on progressive sites like Dailykos and The Huffington Post. I guess if denial gets you through the day. After Carrie has slammed the doors, you might as well just enjoy a dance with your date.
