    Why do they not care if their base dies? Like during covid, they let them die and encouraged behavior that would kill them. What is the point?

      They don’t plan on having voting be a thing anymore. They’re not concerned with needing their base. Lots of undemocratic countries have “voting” where somehow Fearless Leader always comes out on top with 95% of the vote. That’s where we are headed.

        With the recent choice by Florida republicans where they cancelled elections for the city of Miami. They have made it pretty damn clear elections are a thing of the past. Expect more elections to be cancelled, especially in fascist controlled areas and even more so when the Supreme Court of Fascism rubber stamps it.

        Any remaining delusions of this country being a real democracy are dead and gone now.

          It’s interesting that the US has civil war both at its beginning and at its end.

          I suspect it illustrates some “ring of fire” that surrounds the US.
