Yeah, I’d say they are. I personally think the Democrat’s war is the more correct one - mail-in, early voting, automatic registration are all things that seem OK to me, but I can put myself in a red hat and see how they could see that as an out-and-out attack.

From my perspective, Republicans pushing Voter ID, the constant recounts, and the insistence that everything is doomed constantly sure seem like an attack to me. So I think this is all largely a matter of perspective, and I think a fair read of both sides would point out they have some basic and obvious points in their favor.

What I outlined above provides more than enough distraction to prevent any kind of substantive political discussion about a proper future state here. I think that’s likely the real goal behind a lot of this rhetoric. Republicans especially like to “starve the dragon” as it were, and while that’s fine tactically, I think it’s telling of their mindset.
