they don't like anything that changes that.


i know that sounds provocative, but there is actually no proof that mail-in ballots helps either party more than the other, so if they weren't cheating, they really shouldn't mind.

Mail-in voting makes it more difficult for them to cheat in their usual ways.

10. Their usual voter suppression tactics

don’t work. Two of their favorites, closing voting locations in high Dem areas and stationing intimidating individuals at voting locations in the name of preventing voter fraud won’t stop people from voting. It’s no accident Twitler is going after the post office now.

It seems to me if they are so worried that Dems will cheat they would be thinking of ways to cheat also. Not that they aren't. Of course, I can't pretend to know what goes on in the Trumpster's head. If anything.

They are cheating power mad at any cost cowards?

They money grub at every turn, they say stupid shit on purpose to get attention, they argue about stupid shit, this sentence could run on and on and on and on and on...?

They are a toxic subset of the people at this time?
