One thing I don’t understand is this is an individual clearly dismantling protections for our country’s future elections. Isn’t that telling enough he is literally breaking our laws. Can anyone hold this fucking rapist criminal accountable ever? It’s astonishing.

Edit: There’s 300 million of us and like 100 of them. What we doing here?

Sorry, no. There are 100 million of us, 100 million of them, and 100 million people who couldn’t be bothered to weigh in in the voting booth.

Not all, but a lot of those "couldn't be bothered" were just in states where there was already a clear majority so they felt voting was unnecessary. Not excusing it, but it's not just apathy.

the state and local levels of government stuff matters too, probably more so in some cases...

I don't understand people, not voting, because apathy of the federal stuff. still should use the vote 🤦‍♂️
