The reason Republicans need to suppress votes in Democratic areas and demographics is because there are fewer and fewer Republicans around to vote for their Pro-Death policies.

The school views the use of face coverings as a very important way that we as a community can slow the spread of the virus and protect one another. Due to the current situation in our community, all persons on campus will be required to have a face covering. Please prepare your children that a face covering will be utilized throughout the day."
All students and adults are required to wear face coverings at all times except while eating and drinking."

(21,402 posts)they told us what they were going to do when Barack Obama won. They met and made a pact to obstruct everything Democratic. They met and made a pact to make Democrats fail at any cost. They met and decided that everything they did must be political, must be party over country.
They told us what their plan was, why don't people believe them?

Not one of them is taking the responsibility as a leader and try to help contain the virus. Instead, most republican politicians are fanning the fuel, i.e. banning masks, et al.
Meanwhile republicans are enacting laws suppressing voting rights, civil rights, women rights, and wholeheartedly freedom rights.
Again republicans are planning another coup, while slowly destroying Democracy.

(129,440 posts)When I saw your OP title, and before seeing what the content was, I was gonna post about the fact that Sandy Hook, with 26 children mowed down, got no response to change.
These people are psychopaths and "society" has accepted their behavior as some kind of "norm".
