During the economic crash, there was a picture circulating around the Intertubes which consisted of the following: a crowd of onlookers was gathered at the entrance to one of the NY brokerage houses and everyone was looking up. One man had a sign which read "Jump, you Fuckers!". The caption read: The Natives Are Restless
Well, the natives are restless once again. Clearly, one party, the cryptofascistrethuglican party, has made many many attempts to prohibit voting by minorities or within clearly Democratic strongholds. What they wound up doing is energizing the voters who normally might have actually sat this one out for a variety of reasons. Of course, in their attempt to take over the country, gerrymandering was not enough, they had to try this stunt. I would say that if large numbers of individuals are prevented from voting by/on Tuesday, woe betide these tinhorn-Mussolini types. It's gonna make the Florida preppy takeover of the Dade County election HQ look like a day at the park.
I'm wearing my Obama button to my dental practice on Monday and Tuesday. I am neither afraid nor ashamed of supporting him and the Democrats across the board in order to stave off this creeping fascism which is attempting to envelop the United States in its entirety.

(36,392 posts)What exactly do you think is going to "erupt" if Dems aren't allowed to vote? Let me help - NOTHING. That's the difference between us and them. If we were systematically disenfranchising Repukes, there would be riots, gun fire, and a symphony of media about it. And it would be stopped. We, OTOH, have done and will do nothing of substance. That's why we've rolled into fascism of the last generation.
Hopefully they will let enough of us vote to keep the president in the WH, but if not his AG should be held complicit for not doing anything about it.
