    Moderate Republicans have been campaigning against the Voting Rights Act since August 7th, 1965. It’s been a primary factor in the Federalist Society domination of the federal courts system, particularly following the election of George Bush Jr.

    Exactly so. They played the long game. Solidifying their voting bloc, using any means necessary to ensure both election victories and select court appointments.

    “If you wanted the right to vote, you should have voted harder” is one hell of a take.

    Voting harder isn’t a thing, but the circular firing squad is. When the leftists quadruple down on hating ‘liberals’ and screaming their finely crafted FSB talking points, we will once again miss a window of opportunity to take back some ground. Just like they hated Hillary and that’s how we got Gorsuch, Boof, and Amy Covid to finally give Roberts the death knell he’s sought all along.

    Republican squabbling is close to non-existent except for variations in extremes. Being called a genocider by someone who (theoretically) shares 90% of the same political opinions is our lot. And it’s about to crank up again for November.

    WILL ‘the left’ / ‘progressives’ / ‘liberals’ / ‘democrats’ be able to support the same thing in November?? Only TIME . . will tell. But the odds are really not great.
