Republican Voter Suppression Efforts

all this voter suppression by the GOP and its cronies seems terribly shortsighted

it may be effective in the short term, but if your strategy is to disenfranchise people instead of adjusting your message then you've lost
 
They just assume they'll be able to pivot to whatever their next shady practice needed to stay in power.
 
It's abundantly clear that the GOP strategy is to try and tie up the election in courts in several states, and use their newly appointed federal judges and likely 6-3 Supreme Court majority to reelect Trump, no matter how shady or dubious it is or looks. If it tears the nation apart and leads to violence, so much the better. They'll just use that as an excuse to crack down even more on legitimate protests and dissent.
 
It worked 20 years ago.

Yep. They used short-sighted strategies to gain power to rig the system for long-term success.

Short-sighted? They’ve been continuously doing the same shit since Europeans arrived here.

If you’re talking about specific tactics, they’ve been grooming judges and justices for decades waiting for this moment. This is the outcome of a long term strategy to rig the system for long term success. That’s just one example.

Putting on a mask and voting in person.

chill with the histrionics

they got rolled in the House races in 2018 because of short-sighted loyalty to Donald Trump

there are consequences to bad political strategy, even if the playing field is unlevel in their favor
