Rob Reiner on MSNBC talking about end of Democracy

70. I agree...

You actually summed it up very succinctly: "Belief in GOTV to win in '22 and '24 is unicorn-shitting-rainbows optimism."

Yes, GOTV, while simultaneously recognizing and combatting the full-on assault on voting rights and the concept of democracy and proceed accordingly, preferably going on the offensive by holding people accountable. I don't know precisely how but I sure hope the open hearings next month lay their disdain for democracy bare for the more apathetic citizens to see since our media as a whole hasn't even tried.

I know the legalities and justice can be tricky but I think some people miss for forest for the trees and deny the bigger overall picture. The Trumpists aren't merely people to be defeated at the ballot box; Trumpism (now that we can more simply label what the GOP has been working toward for decades) needs to be destroyed, as much as possible, in our society by making their values completely unacceptable, not merely a "difference of political opinion." Just as Germany did after WWII with Nazism.
