Trump has put pressure on Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, a measure that would require photo identification and proof of U.S. citizenship to vote.
Well, I suppose we should be grateful this is happening early enough for a court challenge to play out instead of a last minute EO that will just make be followed automatically by red and purple (with red governors/AGs) states.
But no doubt the timing is because there are twelve additional fascist election moves in Trump/Miller’s playbook, any of which can subvert the election, and they’re just giving themselves time to run down the list.
Primaries and referendums are happening right the fuck now though. I just voted by mail here in VA regarding the temporary redistricting thing. He might be trying to throw a wrench in any blue redistricting that’s in response to Texas and whatever other red gerrymandering is happening.
America isn’t even teetering on the precipice anymore. We’re tumbling down a jagged cliffside, and 1/3 thinks that it’s a good thing actually, 1/3 says holy fuck we need to curl up in a ball and try to survive, and the last 1/3 has been convinced by the first third that both sides are the same and also there’s nothing they can do and also did you hear what Jennifer Lawrence said about that thing you mildly care about but will pretend to care deeply about when you hear how she blasted it?
America’s day in the sun is done and dusted. We’re irrelevant. We were able to bluff relevance for the past few decades, but the facade has fallen. We’re not militarily impressive. We don’t do anything. Korea won, then Vietnam won, then the terrorists won, and now China has won. The best we can hope for at this point is avoiding total collapse.
Technically Korea was a stalemate at worst. The North Koreans initiated the invasion and the goal was to push them back a bit then end the war. MacArthur fucked that up and pushed too far spooking the Chinese but the pre-war borders were more or less reestablished, so not victory but sure as shit wasn’t defeat given how bad the war was going for awhile.
