Rob Reiner on MSNBC talking about end of Democracy

[TiberiusB]

45. What?

What, exactly, are you claiming?

That people are advocating for MTG and Trump to be prohibited from public office on a whim?

Who is saying that?

Who isn't clamoring for the DOJ to get it in gear and do something because time is rapidly running out? How many times do people have to hear about overwhelming evidence of criminality, only to see nothing happen, or, worse, see people like the New York DA and clown college graduate Alvin Bragg suddenly drop a long simmering case because...reasons?

What "rinky dink" actions? MTG is in court right now over this issue. Praise be to Georgia voters who saw the need to act.

Voting is becoming the exclusive domain of white conservatives thanks to massive suppression efforts in all the states...and more...that narrowly got Biden elected. Hoping that somehow enough people will turn up at the polls AGAIN to save democracy is, in my opinion, wishful thinking. The Democrats got a hard won majority and, for many, haven't delivered on their many promises. Blame the Republicans, blame Manchin, blame an entrenched system that favors corporate interests over literally anything else, or blame the weather. None of that will sway voters in the Fall. The House looks set to swing Republican in every poll I've read. And not by a little. Should that hold and the GOP takes the House, expect non-stop investigations and obstruction. Benghazi to the nth degree. Jan 6th will become a national holiday (okay, maybe not that...).

If the Senate and White House ultimately go red, then Democracy is almost certainly done in the States. All those suppression laws, whether they are targeted at minorities or women, will get elevated to the Federal level, and the Supreme Court will be there to back it all.

What will be the plan then?
