'The Republican Party has spent years showing us exactly who they are'

[Zorro]

And it’s not a good look.

The poet and activist Maya Angelou once reminded us that when people show you who they are, believe them the first time.

The Republican Party has spent years showing us exactly who they are.

While recent attention has focused on the U.S. Supreme Court’s gerrymandering decision in Louisiana, that ruling is just the latest in a sustained drive by the party to dismantle minority rights.

Other targets include diversity, equity and inclusion programs, the teaching of African-American history and the protections that generations marched and bled for so that all voters could cast their ballots freely and fairly.

Make no mistake, while the Republicans may frame their agenda around minorities, the fallout lands on each of us.

1. Democratic Party

shed all its racist (already corrupt)bad apples into the already Mammon worshiping GOP. Now we have only a few bad apples (albeit some corporate donor corruption) and parity with a dissatisfied "independent" unregistered growing out of the mess. Seems organized for the Apocalypse.

The GOP with its gifted corner on rabid haters, has devolved into the evil necessary to maintain power for wealth's sake even if it means total lie, total dictatorship, total destruction. And ever the big guys on top becoming the moronic satans who accumulate useless numbers on this math.

2. And all the excuses for the continued existence of the Electoral College

Focus on “protect minority interests” and “we can’t have tyranny of the majority.” Hypocrites as always.
