The Overpass Light Brigade of Milwaukee goes right at the heart of it. |
Daily Kos flags the new election strategy of the GOP (well, not so new): Don't let 'em vote, they're too stupid!
As usual, though, Media Matters does a good job of covering the myriad conservative attacks on voting. Not surprisingly, Fox News is leading the way with the "women are too dumb to vote" movement.
National Reviews' Kevin Williamson goes all in with his "Five Reasons You're Too Dumb to Vote" column, saying "Voting is the most shallow gesture of citizenship there is."
I didn't know that! Jeez, I could have avoided voting all these years if...
Bottom line about this is that it's only the Republicans and their Fox News shock troops pressing this attack on voting. It's as if first we try different tacks to keep you from voting and then tell you, hell, voting is not all it's cracked up to be, so if you're too dumb to vote, well, that's OK!
And this is the party of Our Founding Fathers, the Constitution rocks!, and, uh, Patriotism, and "They hate us for our freedom!"
Except, uh, don't vote. You're too stupid.
Oh, yeah, I forgot. The Constitution originally only gave the vote to white, male landowners. I see where this is going. The white males of the moneyed class want their jobs back.
Hey, Lena, you and your kind can go ahead and have sex if you want. Just don't vote. |
And these people think there's no war on women (and the young, and blacks, and Hispanics)?
