Wonderful

——

Republicans have destroyed this country. They have lied, stolen and cheated their way to the top of the swamp.

Wow what a gut punch.

Absolutely insane. Voters passed this act and it gets struck down. Meanwhile Florida passes through the same thing in violation of the state constitution as well, and it passes, no problem. No vote needed.

So if the courts can deny the will of the people, what’s stopping the people from ignoring the courts? Leave the results the same and just ignore their biased ruling.

Unelected wizard in robes are destroying our democracy. ( )

This will be one of the bullet points in the list of what drove the country to active rebellion.

If you make peaceful change impossible you make violent change inevitable.

Who cares what the Supreme Court says? Do it anyway

As a Democrat, I wonder why I am part of a party that can’t bring itself to do what is necessary to get the country on the right track.

There goes the little bit of hope things could get better, the US is not recovering from Trump.

Disregarding the will of the voters in a democracy is treason

Liberal tears are like sweet honey on a warm homemade buttered biscuit made by your grandma.

It’s just amazing how both sides can think this at the same time for entirely different reasons.

I remember when the People of California voted against gay marriage and a judge struck down the results. But that's "D"ifferent

Of course they presented zero evidence for this claim.

Meanwhile...literally the moment it passed in VA, every single legal pundit of all political persuasions said it blatantly violated State Law on not 1 but numerous issues and would be struck down easily. And it was

They don’t understand the basis of the decision it was about the language on the ballot and the fact that Democrats ignored how these types of elections are supposed to proceed via the VA Constitution.

And they don’t care.

It shouldn’t be surprising that Democrats are angry about not being able to break the law

We desperately need more conservative doctors in the field of mental health. We can’t treat mental health without establishing proper diagnosis.

In this regards to the above, what do you call adults who respond to every established vise, crime, and/or frickery committed by your preferred political party with “they do it too?”

Yea normal people have felt this way for decades. Let’s see how long they last.

Fascinating coming from a party that rewrote the political warfare playbook.

Huh remind me how the Democratic Party reacted to a group of armless protesters getting arrested and unlawfully imprisoned for years because they were invited to take a tour of the capitol.
