Donny Smallgloves is at it again. He's incensed that California is going to move to mail-in voting in the midst of the pandemic. A few thoughts.
First, Trump was never, ever, ever going to win California. That state is arguably as blue as any in the nation. Voting by mail there is irrelevant to the outcome of the 2016 election. Even a moron like Trump knows this. This is an attempt to nip the movement in the bud in states where the GOP has any veto power. If North Carolina, Arizona or Florida went to mail in voting, Trump loses those in a landslide.
Which brings me to the second point: the GOP is actively opposed to the most people voting. They want to restrict access to the ballot so that older, whiter, richer voters are preferenced. Any movement to open up voting to more people threatens their minority rule. To be clear the GOP are a minority party: an aggrieved rump of angry white people. While Trump has always been a wannabe dictator, the GOP is increasingly desperate and reliant on vote suppression.
They just aren't supposed to tweet that all over the place.
