We’re in that authoritarian world where killing democracy isn’t just something done by stealth, it’s an explicit part of the right’s political platform.
Democracy is recast as the social disorder the left wants; soon it’s going to be what foreign agitators are needling for. https://t.co/Us3ZmXoAq2— Taniel (@Taniel) August 13, 2020

Well, I'll give him that, I'm a liberal, and voting rights (for EVERYONE!) is on my wishlist, so he's not wrong.

czippy -- rhetorical question, I assume!
Functionally rhetorical, perhaps, but I really would like an answer. And there will be follow ups.
Typical Republican tactic: put a ridiculous soundbite out there, have different “sources” repeat it, put a sinister spin on it, and watch it spread.
donnah -- right. To them "voting rights" only means "the right kind of voter," i.e., theirs.
Or, the “White kind” of voter.
