1/ Trump is astonishingly honest in his authoritarianism and corruption: Democratic plans to make it easier to vote would lead to “levels of voting, that if you ever agreed to it you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again.” Uh, a normal msn.com/en-us/news/ele…
2/ party wd say that it should change w/ the electorate; conservatism is about evolution & growing w/ norm change over time while restraining excesses. GOP response instead is to limit democracy. Keeping people f/ voting so that ideologues don't have to change is authoritarianism
3/ It’s been obvious for 2 decades to those outside the Fox bubble that GOP is a minoritarian nat’l coalition. It’s won the popular vote only once since 1988 & will likely lose it again this year.What’s surprising is Trump’s willingness to openly admit it & endorse voting hurdles
4/ This has always been the ‘value’ of Trump: his willingness to say the quiet part out loud. He dragged racism out from behind the curtain & revealed just how much it drives GOP voting; here he blows up the fig-leaf that voter ID is @ ‘election security’ rather than suppression.
