    Donald Trump knows the American people DO NOT WANT HIM. He is terrified of large turnout, especially of “those people” with brown or black skin — the ones he says he did so much for, more than any other president except (possibly) Abraham Lincoln.

    Trump knows HE CANNOT WIN A LEGITIMATE ELECTION.

    He lost the actual vote of the people BY THREE MILLION in 2016, has lost much of his support and done nothing to expand his voting base.

    Trump hired Louis DeJoy as Postmaster General despite ZERO experience in the Postal Service, to sabotage mail voting. His thugs are trying to intimidate voters at the polls, and his goons in California are setting up fake collection boxes and a legitimate, real “official” collection box in an African American area of Los Angeles was set on fire and more than a hundred ballots burned.

    Trump’s exact words: “GET RID OF THE BALLOTS … there won’t be a transfer; frankly, we’ll have a continuation.”

    At this point, any person still supporting Donald Trump is a TRAITOR TO THE UNITED STATES. Hell, they are already waving the flags of the KKKonfederacy and the Nazis, wartime enemies the U.S. crushed by REAL AMERICANS.

    Trump knows the mail is safe for voting (well, at least until he sabotages it). He votes that way as do his kids and most of his staff. He has told voters in Florida and Arizona that mail-in voting is safe in their states. He is sending robocalls to his supporters in other states saying that it is safe and encouraging them to vote by mail, even as he says the opposite to the general public.

    Trump knows mail ballots work. That is why he is trying to stop them. Because he knows that the more people the vote, the bigger the margin he will lose by, and Putin can’t hack mail ballots and the paper trail they leave.

    Hermit of Skull Creek or whatever he/she/it is, is going far overboard ignoring that this election is Trump vs. Biden. Trump and his republican shills is working hard to destroy the United States. Vote for the United States, not a RINO crime syndicate.

    My family and I were horrified in 1968 [and left the party] when the Republicans abandoned progressivism and welcome the segregationists, racists, and theocrats that had abandoned the Democratic after the passage of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts [in 1965] and the southern strategy took root and they turned against our constitutional democratic republic and government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

    @Hermit, the ones against women and black voters were the conservatives. They may have been called democrats back then, but they were conservatives. The conservatives of today are called republicans, and they are the ones pushing voter suppression and restrictions. Welcome to 2020.

    Tories=conservatives, Confederacy=conservatives, passage of Jim Crow laws=conservatives, erecting of Confederate status=conservatives. Conservatives, traitors and on the wrong side of history since 1776.

    Alex Jones – “Confirmed: Trump Has Footage Of Hunter Biden Torturing Little Girls”

    I saw this on YouTube a couple of days ago and most that commented seemed to have no problem accepting it as gospel truth—I’ve included a few of the comments below:

    “I mean he was right about all the Chinese eating babies and stuff.”

    “Hunter is just like his father they like under age girls they both belong in jail !!”

    “If our government doesn’t do anything, under the 2nd Amendment we are justified to do something about this treason ourselves and we will, we the people and we the military, you can bet on it.”

    “OMG! OMG! OMG!!! If this is true… Be ready for the Three Days of Darkness. God is coming to kill the evil ones, just not via a flood this time. He is coming be warned!”

    Just a small sample, and yes, we can laugh, but these are our fellow voting Americans and they accept this sort of nonsense as just as real as the sun rising in the morning. Trump has given their views a justification, validated their beliefs. They’ll never believe Biden could/did win honestly, thanks again to their orange hero.

    (Now PG&E is planning to cut off my power for a few days so thought I’d leave this before I’m powerless. :-))

    @Hermit There’s a reason the traditional Republicans are trying to salvage their party with such efforts as the Lincoln Project. They know that it is not the same party as it was pre-Nixon who took the first step on the slippery slope.

    The Dems are about to take all 3 branches if Trump is unsuccessful in stealing the election. Then the Repressives will only have SCOTUS to keep the Dems in check and slow any potential excessive moves of the pendulum.

    Payback is going to be a bitch over the next four years. Fortunately Biden has the experience to try to keep the party in the center but it will not be easy because of the pressure from the far left.

    Unfortunately the Dems have a history of shooting themselves in the foot when they get control. Fortunately again however the outcome is not as bad as the GOP that shoots itself in the head as they did in 2016 and did nothing for four years to try to prevent a slow death.

    Gerrymandering. Closing polling locations. Throwing legitimate voters off voting lists. Crippling the post office. The U.S. should be encouraging, not suppressing the rights of citizens to vote.

    I do find it very interesting how the dogma of a polictical partys changes over time. The Repubicam party does have a history of supporting social change but now seems to think voter subpression is an acceptable polictical objective.

    I imagine the Hermit equates Republicans of 100 years ago with Republicans today. So. The racism apparent in his party is still the same? Or…

    That said, Let’s remember the parties have flipped positions on just about everything, so your argument is spurious, but your opinion on Dems arresting Reps might just pass the Trump “I was Joking!” test

    I see Hermit (Montana Bill) has to go back 50 to 100 years to find evidence of Republicans being for social change, back to the time of Dixiecrats who then switched to becoming Repubicans when the parties switched. It’s very telling who the KKK currently supports and it sure isn’t the Democrats.

    Skull, you are strongly implying that racism is a bad thing, did I get that right?

    And so, anyone who supports, say, white supremacy and white supremacists, they would be racist, and should not be supported or voted for, correct?

    If there was ever a justification to include a “NONE OF THE ABOVE” box as the 3rd box down on the ballots for U.S. president, what has been going on for the last 4 years is perfect justification for it…….
