The only one who's got suckered into anything is you, John. Read up on 
exactly what is in that bill in Georgia. Try to understand, for example, 
what it means that Raffenspergers office is taken out of the process and 
pay attention to how it will be done in the future.

Btw, what Trump said about Charlottesville was of course directed to the 
same people he declared he "loved", on January 6th. The white 
supremacists; the Proud Boys and the rest of the insurrectionists at the 
Capitolium. As you well know, some of those he earlier had told to "stand 
down, stand by". They know exactly how to read Trump - and Trump knows 
exactly how to address them. You should stop playing games about this. 

No GOP representative of Congress has yet answered why 360 bills are now 
being introduced by the GOP around the US, after an election where no 
voter fraud happened anywhere, of any scale whatsoever. No fraud, no 
irregularities, no matter how many times you repeat those lies. Btw, John 
are you defending the Big Lie? You know, the one that says the election 
"was stolen"?

You know, the one that separates authoritarians and fascists from true 
democrats? Do you, or anyone else here support the Big Lie? The one, also, 
that so many scared GOP members of Congress support? Those scared of 
Donald Trump - who doesn't give a damn about democracy?

But there are indeed quite a few ex-GOP conservatives, true defenders of 
democracy, who have spoken out about what is going on in the US. 

Max Boot, just yesterday:

"In Georgia, Delta Air Lines issued a statement opposing a package of 
voting rules that, among other things, imposes new barriers to voting by 
mail, eliminates mobile voting centers, puts a cap on the number of drop 
boxes and shortens the time to return absentee ballots. Republicans 
retaliated. Now, when businesses oppose those efforts and exercise their 
First Amendment rights, which Republicans ordinarily consider 
“fundamental” and worthy of protection, they seek to use 
the power of the government to punish those whose speech they dislike. It 
seems they do not like the First Amendment any more than the 14th or the 
15th when it comes to robust access to the ballot for voters they suspect 
will support their opponents. Their march to bully-boy authoritarianism 
continues as they prove once again that they are no friends of 
multiracial, robust democracy."

Yes, those republicans retaliated, for one reason alone. They are all 
scared sh*t of Donald Trump, these cowards. I'm happy to provide these 
lists of ex-GOP republicans, who have all left since they understand what 
an incredibly dangerous path the GOP has entered, since the day they all 
bowed down to Donald Trumps authoritarian idiocy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Republicans_who_opposed_the_Donald_Trump_2016_presidential_campaign

Someone summed it up quite brilliant:

"Republicans will be anti-corporate in word, pro-billionaire in deed; 
blue-collar on the airwaves, protective of offshore tax shelters in 
practice; the party of law and order - that insists 2020 was stolen."

This time US democracy was saved by the Judiciary. Now it's time for you, 
Bud and the rest to make a choice. Either you continue to walk into the 
future head deep in the past, b*tt first. Or you start defending US 
democracy. Not a right/left question. No joke. Not a 
petty-winning-arguments-in-a-debate thing.

It's a question of saving US democracy. Pretty soon it just might be too 
late.
