Ah.. like redistricting/changing laws, to make it harder to vote, and/or
register to vote, breaking unions, which are the #1 contributor to the
only opposition of the right wing, who also spend lots, and lots, of

funding things like Alec, and Fox News, where they feed total bullshit
to the public. Those sorts of anti-democratic things, perhaps?
