Bloody Sunday, Selma 1965 |
Americans may confer on themselves the dubious honor of voting against the right to vote. Donald Trump urged an evangelical group to vote saying it would be the last time they would have to. Democracy indeed seems to be a foreign term when you listen to some Retrumplicans who rail against it, without any understanding of the hard fought rights it confers. Indeed democracy is a complex institution that involves understanding terms like "inalienable rights." Still voting oneself out of power is a bizarre impulse. The only comparison is with certain religions in which one totally turns one's (free) will and life over to a punishing God.
