Massive voter turnout isn't going to mean diddlysquat in states that pass laws saying they can throw out any votes they don't like. In swing states, massive voter turnout isn't going to mean anything when those states are striping their Secretaries of State of their power to certify elections. Now, don't get me wrong, if those things happen, there will be an uprising in this country that may make the Civil War look like a neighborhood skirmish over a barking dog. Even if the Democrats in the Senate don't seem to understand the urgency of this situation, Democrats among the people in this country are keenly aware, and action will be taken if our voting rights are overturned. There are times I wish Lincoln would have just let the south go out on their own, and I think there are people in the south who might feel the same about us. Maybe our dream of a more perfect union has been hijacked by the constant drumbeat that we were already perfect. I've heard that my whole life. America is the greatest country on Earth. Ha! Once anything has reached "perfection" what's the use of trying anymore. Now, this country is set up perfectly for white males, rich white ones, in particular, and the rest of us have just accepted that, grudgingly, but, with the thought, well that's just the way it is and there's nothing we can do about it. Those white males have been just fine with that set up. The problem now is, the rest of us aren't so thrilled with this arrangement anymore, and the white guys are pissed and scared, which makes them pathetic and desperate, which isn't good for any of us, considering how much power they still hold. Anyway, I have no answers, but, a whole lot of worry and fear that our country is going down the toilet, the insurrectionists will get away, unscathed, and President Biden will be our last freely elected President. May the force be with us.
