There are 235 million Americans over the age of 18, minus 5 million felons who live in states that remove their right to vote. That leaves 230 million adults eligible to engage the election process. Since every state has different registration processes and half the states have same day registration I don't know the registered number. But until the vote total exceeds 230 million there have not been more votes than eligible citizens.
No doubt that left and right leaning anarchists have been playing the spoiler role across the country this year - but their cause is not a left/right thing -- it is a chaos thing.
What is this black magic you speak of? I didn't know they had those!
I'd just like this to be seen again. That is all.

Totally disagree I would like to see a country that values liberties more than democracy. Kind of like our forefathers.. True democracy is just mob rule and that actual power and rights do not come from a select few or even a majority but that they these rights are inherent. That we would value those rights..
Honest question Bobby, do you know what this is on this guy’s shirt?
Indeed. A more humane segment of our species would have experienced some empathy for constituents whose lives are threatened worse than those legislators' were; every day in their homes, their neighborhoods, their jobs. I heard almost none of that in the CMA (cover my ass, not Country Music Association) speechmaking after sessions resumed. Another learning opportunity, dismissed in favor of personal, political protection.
I always suspected bobby was Q
Really? I didn’t realize the trial of the police officers in Minneapolis had been held. I was thinking it was scheduled for March. And it’s interesting to hear the left suddenly place an emphasis on “evidence”. Sure didn’t work that way when it Trump/Russia, Trump/Russia, “Trump called veterans losers”, etc. I guess it depends upon whose ox is being gore.
Well said.
This has rung true for me the last 18 months - lifelong friends with whom I have shared much including fairly thoughtful and nuanced political thoughts for decades who have suddenly turned in to trump chanting zombies - I don't get it, but if it can happen to these well educated, well connected and successful folks, I can see how it could have powerful allure to those less educated, less connected and feeling disenfranchised from the American dream. Frankly it is a bit scary that normally rational people are one weird year away from surrending independent thought and logic. I guess it helps us understand what happened in Nazi Germany (I am not calling Trump or his supporters Nazi's, I am referring to a successful, well educated, orderly society descending in to the madness of one person)

I do not believe Trump is responsible for the actions of others. I believe that people are responsible for their own actions. But it’s also true that Leadership and ownership are intertwined, and the vacuum of those two things not existing has led to failure, which in turn has filled the vacuum with excuses and rage.
Look around at the flags, clothes, and incantations. To witness these followers turn on their own party and even their own ideology, is a glimpse into the cults of personality of yesteryear. It’s often deeper than even their religion and there’s a darkness to it.
It’s certainly not limited to one side of the political spectrum, but it is at the most visible I have ever seen in my life.
