Seeking To Deceive, Transparently

 THE CURRENT CREATIVE Republican psychology based strategy to present their voter suppression movement, ongoing nationwide, as the most reasonable, rational remedy to a serious problem, and all opposition to it as alarmist, is transparently, fatuously phony. Good try, but, not quite good enough. Most Americans see through it, including major corporations and major league baseball, which are boycotting voter suppressed states. Consider the source; American Republican conservatism. A large majority of Republican party members still embrace Trump's big election lie, and a large majority of them still insist that the January sixth insurrection was well intentioned, a good try, a noble endeavor, if failed, to secure justice. Point proven. Transparently deceitful.  American Republican party conservatism is far out to lunch. I asked a friend, a Trumper, whether, six months after the election, he has obtained any evidence of stolen election fraud.  In response he informed me that investigations into the matter are ongoing in Arizona and Pennsylvania, and perhaps other states, he evidently being unaware of the difference between "investigations" and "evidence". This  outbreak of legislative voting "reforms" is motivated by Trump's loss and phony claim of victory, and the intent is to see that it never happens again,  (A Trump loss), by doing whatever can be done, which in reality isn't much, to discourage the folks who elected Biden, largely urban African-Americans, from voting next time. The crime is in the motive and intent, the bark, not the bite. Salvation comes to American democracy by the simple fact that no one needs to be prevented from voting, one needs only to navigate the enhanced obstacles to so doing. Meanwhile, there remains hope that Republicans will yet enter into the kingdom of democratic heaven, the nirvana of liberty and freedom: Senator Ted Cruz, of all political figures, has stated  his unequivocal support for the "Free Britney" movement,  eloquently calling her continued de facto enslavement "frigging ridiculous". You go Ted. I have had the distinct honor of bringing the "pledge of allegiance" into public places where nobody , not a single conservative, ever had before. Then too, never in my life have I claimed election theft when my candidate lost an election. I shake hands with the winner and move on, which I think we should all do, leastways, the way I was raised. Thus I claim the patriotic and moral high ground, superior to the conservative Republican party of  America. When a leading U.S. Senator and leader of Republican conservatism, positioning himself as a gallant advocate for the liberty of Britney Spears, hops on a plane to Cancun, coincidentally he says, during the worst deep freeze blizzard in his state's history, leaving his constituents behind, you know one thing for damned sure: there is moral rot within the crumbling edifice of American Republican conservatism.
