I have said once or twice or thrice or four times or a million times now that the Republican Party is currently behaving like a party who believes they will never have to be accountable to voters again.

Conservatives have a plan to end direct election of senators.

Hey. Me again. The one who keeps saying the GOP is acting like they don't think they'll have to be accountable to voters anymore. Cough. https://t.co/lZTaomHmec

And there are still people who think I'm being hyperbolic and alarmist. Nope. Really not. The GOP is a profoundly anti-democratic party.

I guess it's easy to believe this is the GOP just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks if you haven't been paying attention.

Quietly passing laws to disenfranchise entire groups. Loudly mainstreaming narratives about (nonexistent) voter fraud.

It has been a very long and very sinister campaign. And trust that they're happy to hear that you don't believe it even exists.
