Who Needs Voter Suppression?

For years, the GOP has been aggressively suppressing the vote. But it may not need to, if Americans voluntarily sign up for fascism.

“Pure democracies are not the way to run a country,” former Senator Rick Santorum (R-Penna.) told Newsmax last November after voters in his home state and elsewhere protected abortion rights via ballot measures that made the rulers of a would-be Gilead hoppin’ ass mad.

File under: Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud.

But for once, the vile Mr. Santorum — last seen in a hissy fit after LGBTQ+ activist Dan Savage co-opted his surname for biological purposes — isn’t entirely wrong. When we leave governance to the will of the people, we open ourselves up to some bad decisions as well as good ones.

Case in point:

There have been polls of late showing Biden and Trump in a dead heat, and some showing Trump actually winning. One in particular — a credible one from NBC, just this week — is especially worrying, as it has Trump widening his lead slightly since the last NBC poll, taken in November.

Needless to say, it is absolute insanity that the American people would seriously consider putting this human shitstain on the underwear of mankind back in power. (Speaking of santorum.) But here we are.
