America, we had a good run

Evan McMullin:
52% of Republicans say they'd support postponing 2020 elections if Trump said it were necessary to stop voter fraud.

Slightly more than half of Republicans say they would support postponing the 2020 presidential election if President Trump proposed it to make sure only eligible American citizens can vote, according to a new survey.

According to a poll published by The Washington Post, 52 percent of Republicans said they would back a postponement of the next election if Trump called for it.

If Trump and congressional Republicans proposed postponing the election to ensure only eligible citizens could vote, support from Republicans rises to 56 percent.

Pollsters found 47 percent of Republicans think Trump won the popular vote.

And to think, I was told by every right wing media outlet that President Obama was going to cancel the 2016 elections, declare himself dictator for life, take away everybody's guns, force everybody to be gay married...

Is the Republican Party now white-identified more than policy-identified? or American-identified?

A new Aryanism seems to be sweeping down from Russia, through Europe to England hopping across the Atlantic to Canada and the USA, and possibly to South America, and across the Pacific to Australia.

Fortunately to date the majorities of "white" people in most of these countries seem to be immune, and identify first as humans.

They love Putin, want Fascism, want to kill us all, and hate our Democracy - why? Why don't they create their own hell hole of a country and leave us alone?
