re: #41 dangerman
High voter turnout is the GOP’s worst nightmare. Imagine if we ever got to something like ~80% turnout in every election year, even mid-term elections.
The Republicans would be left as little more than a permanent opposition party - and possibly without a large enough congressional delegation to do anything but howl in front of the cameras. Imagine the GOP’s current situation in the California legislature, but on a national level.
That’s precisely what Trump, McConnell, Graham, etc. are all terrified of. That’s what keeps them up sweating at night.
