I'm hoping the rethugs efforts to hinder the vote blows up in their faces

I think we will be getting the greatest voter turnout in ages, maybe ever. And it’s always said if everyone voted democrats would always win which I think is true. I’m hoping their criminal actions to suppress the vote blows up in their faces. Even with all their efforts they are going to lose, at least the presidency and hopefully the senate majority. A lot more people are actually paying attention now and not saying the old “both sides are the same” tripe.

1. Threaten the funding for Social Security and Medicare.
2. Threaten to make the defunding permanent.
3. Stigmatize mail-in voting.
4. Ruin the Post office.

It's like he doesn't know any ordinary elderly voters, who love their SS and Medicare and mail-in voting, and the Post Office! They love the post office. The letter carrier calls out a greeting to them, drops off magazines and postcards, comes every day but Sunday-- and it's "traditional", something they remember from childhood.

Trump is actually doing his best to antagonize one of the voting blocs that he really needs-- seniors.

He's going to end up with one demographic-- mean angry white men with guns and not much education.
