GOP assault on democracy

It’s funny what lousy rotten grumpy sour sore losers they are, when…

When you think of the onslaught of derision directed at Clinton for any post-election musing on the confluence of factors that lead to her loss and compare that to Trump's now 6 month reality denying temper tantrum supported by almost his entire party, it's incredible.

Especially when Clinton won the popular vote (the actual vote) by 3 million and Trump…didn’t.

Ousting of Liz Cheney, insane 'audit' in AZ, avalanche of GOP voter suppression bills all have same goal: to institutionalize Trump's Big Lie & rig future elections in their favor. GOP assault on democracy most important story in American politics today

Meanwhile, here in the UK, Boris sees the Republican’s efforts to suppress votes and thinks: “Seems like a jolly good wheeze!”. I am in despair.

If you think that’s bad, watch out if there’s any of that nasty bamboo in the ballot paper:
