Plouffe: If GOP Wins It All In 2024, U.S. Will Be An Autocracy | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
Abbot saying that his objective is very simple, goes against the fact that he bulled all the voting boxes in the Democratic cities in Texas.
Bulled?
@Don Quixote pulled
Gov. Abott that sounds like a great idea so why are you actually trying to institute legislation that intentionally contradicts your message?
All it took was a corrupt Supreme Court chief justice (John Roberts) to undo a 100 years of struggle. The Voting Rights Act must be restored.
Couldn’t agree more. John Roberts has done as much to undermine American democracy as Rupert Murdoch, imo. Apart from gutting the Voting Rights Act, the disastrous Citizens United decision happened on his watch, and in 2019 in Rucho v. Common Cause, he argued that federal courts could not rule on cases of gerrymandering. ” Roberts has voted consistently to undermine Voting Rights laws, emasculating even measures enacted by huge Congressional majorities ” – npr. 22/3/2019. To think that the Chief Justice of the country does not uphold one man, one vote! What happened to the belief that all men are created equal?
IMPEACH JOHN ROBERTS
Seriously tho wtf is Roberts doing on the bench still? Can’t wait until he gets Scalia’d.
It’s going to get worse. They’re going to just shut down polling places where people vote against them. Watch it happen.
IT ALREADY HAS…they change the districts to separate Democrat and Republican voters…They they pull voting polls, voting drop boxes, and eliminate mail-in votes…in Democrat districts…and the Courts, go along with this? And USA promotes Democracy in other Countries? Trump era in four years, eliminated, Everything USA stands for…VET ALL POLITICIANS, LIKE WE DO VP…Trump would have never passed…..I say tax corporations to where they have no money to donate to politicians….shut down the money votes…
LINCOLN’S FAMOUS QUOTE AND ITS INSPIRATION:
“We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
@Bill Casey Thank you for bringing up the value switching. People REALLY need to learn their own history to understand what is happening now but the fever pitch is too high. It always is. 😣 I wish everyone could just stick to the written, non-fiction, legally binding word for their smarts. There is no hope.
@Naomi Bee
I gotta believe in Hope.
@g-morty The Maddest Hatter My friend, a poly science graduate, once trolled me, _”You know Lincoln was a Republican, right?”_
He was surprised to find my understanding that the parties have literally swapped aisles since then.
Good Service. The Gettysburg Address. All Americans should memorize it.
Hopefully now people will realize how disastrous it was to pack the supreme Court with right wing radicals.
@Cold Beer fetus isn’t a baby Neanderthal
@Jay M Hey man, whatever it takes for you to feel good about your ideology.
@Cold Beer Exactly..so let’s leave it up to him.. That has got to be the most anguish decision ANYONE would have to make…so leave it up to the ones involved Mother…Doctor…and God!!
Not you!!
!
@Randal Walker Most abortion’s are done for convenience.
@Cold BeerMost terminations are in the first trimester with a pill..as time goes on the decision is harder…CERTAINLY Not one for YOU to make..MISTER COLD BEER!!!!😡
That’s what happens when politicians can commit multiple crimes without paying any consequences. It makes them more brazen in their lawlessness.
Just another reason to pack up and leave Texas forever.
Hahahaha!!!!!
Yes, move back to Knuckle head Newsom’s California!!!
I think there are a few ocean view tent sites left on Pacific Coast Highway!!!
@A Jacobson Texas is ran by corrupt, insecure, self serving losers who could less about you. Either you’re a racist, a Russian troll, or just plain stupid!
That’s hilarious. They’d have better luck seceding again. I wish they’d try.
It’s lucky for us The Republicans are lead by such idiots.
@Tom Senft honestly at this point we really do need to split the country to avoid a war. This is getting absolutely ridiculous
I have never heard such hyperbole in my life. You have the right to vote as a citizen. That requires proof. A general requirement that you are who you say you are makes sense especially when voting. Kind of like having a background check to buy a gun. It makes sense.
then why are the vast majority of the 250+ bills republicans are pushing completely unrelated to voter ID?
@Noreb huh?
Oh please, if you want to win elections you have to earn it like Obama.
The constitution should be respected at all points.
No way you are a republican if you think that.
Like the Autocracy of 2012? Oh, wait, Plouffe was a part of that one, so let’s not mention it.
I’ve said for 30 years that the Republikkklans hate America and the constitution.
@Mark Simpson You spelled Republikkklan wrong.
@Noah Benavidez Stop watching the nazi Propaganda network fox News Bro.
It’s estimated that 40% of Republikkklans have pledged their loyalty to Russia and would start killing real Americans if Russia told them to.
@Mark Simpson Its Republicans doing the WORST and most long-term damage to your democracy. If you cant sift through the bad and be intelligent and honest enough to see the different effects of the different actions.. You are just another generalizing person that makes anything say whatever they want it to say.
The ULTIMATE goal of the Republican us that the USA becomes a corporate run country. Its in ALL of their voting records since the last decades or so. Its NOT fiscal responsibility and the old “conservative” type of American thinking. Its ALL about country destroying deals like the Corporate Liability Immunity nonsense that McC tried to pass in exchange for the stimulus.. The Democrats, want the Corporations, to assume their fair share in taxes to maintain the public infrastructure and to be able to provide basic security and services to the population. The reds couldn’t care less. They want the opposite. They want you TO PAY FOR THE BIG BUSINESS.
You want more taxes for the little people, less services and les taxes for the corporations. Tell me.. How is THAT a rational thought? I mean, unless you or your family own a large corporation, I don’t see the logic in voting Republican.. NONE whatsoever. Its just some kind or cult-like religion for some Americans. It doesn’t make sense, but hey.. Who cares. My family and friends all vote that way. SO it MUST e better.. DUH!!!
That is how SHEEP wind up following the last one over the cliff and to their doom. By following the MOB!!!
YOUR Republicans are showing us EVERY DAY how corrupt and totally immoral they are willing to act. So keep your little nightmare for yourself. We SAW what Trump and the GOP are all about. It was TOTAL INSANITY!
@Mark Simpson blah blah blah
🥱🖕 Go back to OANN right winger.
They love white Amerikkka and the constitution of Confederate rebels.
We have to spend the next four years getting out the message, “Democrats get it done, Republicans give you none.”
Republicans: “we need to protect from
Fraud.
Evidence: There was no fraud.
Republicans: “FRAAAAUD!”
Rest of the country: 🤦
Those legislators who proposed taking people’s freedom to vote should be put in jail.
“Eligible votes” according to Republicans are only the votes *for* Republicans.
That’s is true we may even go into a civil war
