re: #105 William Lewis

The right won many of the elections but in the end they lost the culture war when they weren’t looking.

What we’re seeing now - all these voter restriction laws that they are fervently trying to sell as “securing elections” when we all know their true intent - is the last gasp of a dying breed: Rich and powerful white men who remember what it was like to be in absolute control. Their vulnerability is now showing; for possibly the first time in their lives, they’re scared that their grip on the reins of power is slipping, and that there might be a time, in the near future, that they aren’t in power at all. That thought, more than anything else, is what is motivating them to spin these ridiculous yarns in defense of the indefensible, in the fervent hope that it might actually work and they might get to stay in power until the end.
