And they're saying it out loud. Voting should be limited to the "job creators," not the "moochers" and "parasites." Some of the things being said recently:
Democracy is "like handing out burglary tools to criminals."
"Encouraging those who burden society to participate in elections isn't about helping the poor. It's about helping the poor to help themselves to others' money."
"I find democracy and majority rule a contemptible form of government."
That is the underpinning of the GOP war on voting. As for the ever present GOP filibuster, Hannah Arendt has observed, a disciplined minority of totalitarians can use the instruments of democratic government to undermine democracy itself.
