Paul Weyrich, founder of the Heritage Foundation 41 years ago:
"I don't want everybody to vote...As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."
@Heritage is against representative democracy- that’s in its DNA.

But read the whole article! It’s terrifying! They are systematically undermining democracy in the states explicitly as a GOP strategy to win in 2022 and 2024. 
If they aren’t coming for your right to vote now, rest assured they will soon. It’s all literally part of the plan - they wrote it down!
What the article misses is that is that this is a two-pronged attack.
1) At the state level, suppress mostly brown and Black votes
2) At the federal level, McConnell uses the Jim Crow filibuster to block democracy protections.

This new quote from Angus King is precisely correct: you can support the filibuster or the republic but not both.

Y’all, this is it. This is the whole shebang. We pass For the People, John Lewis VRA, and DC statehood this year, or it’s game over. The fork in the road leads to pluralistic democracy or white plutocracy. The choice is ours to make: forthepeople.indivisible.org
