I just posted this on Facebook.

"Today the conservatives on the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act.

Why? Because they can't win when it's easier for people to vote.

Conservatives can't win a fair fight. They know it, and today they proved it.

That is all."

I am so fucking mad to see these little fucking racists take our country back a century.
I hope this brings people together.

They won't BE done until we're a backwoods backwater of a nation, with an impotent government that has zero power to protect workers, consumers, women, minorities, and everyone else at the bottom of the food chain. "The free market will do it all." We have got to fight them, hammer and tongs, and keep fighting them until we can bury them with a stake through their hearts, hemlock in their veins, and garlic in their coffins.

They still have Social Security and Medicare to kill, unions/union rights to smash, EPA, Dept. of Ed to gut/privatize, industries to de-regulate......pensions to steal......still a lot on the plate that we need to fight for.

If you (impersonal you) vote repub & aren't aware of what they are doing with gerrymandering, voter disenfranchisement, gutting the voting act, then shame on you. If you don't care, then shame on you. If you agree, then fuck you.

How can anyone with integrity support this party?

They can't.
