The Latest Attempt By Conservatives To Rig Elections Might Be Their Most Egregious Yet

It’s not really a secret that conservatives are trying to rig our government in their favor. From gerrymandering House districts to passing strict voter ID laws, Republicans are doing everything they possibly can to disenfranchise voters who typically don’t vote for their party. But the real problem with all of this isn’t just that Republicans are trying to rig our government in their favor, it’s that conservatives really don’t care. If their recent attempts to rig elections are successful, conservatives will benefit from all of these changes to voting laws and rules, so they couldn’t care less if what their party is trying to do is completely unethical. I’m a proud progressive, but I would never want to win elections by trying to fix the outcome. That’s not what our Constitution allows for. I can handle “my side” losing as long as the elections were fair, but when some are actively trying to change the system for their own political benefit, that’s a huge problem. And that’s exactly what conservatives are trying to do."


*I try not to be an alarmist, but people really need to start caring more about this before it’s too late. If we don’t, progressives are going to wake up one day to a government completely controlled by Republicans, with laws put in place that make it nearly impossible to ever get power away from them.
