  • it’s a fair point. but the reality of many wars reaching a point of “total war” ware both sides abandon any rules agreed to or even within their own cultural norms, it has a limit to how effective it will be.

Look up how many voting locations were shut down in republican held states, or how many voter roll ‘purges’ were done, or how polls are closed early, or how not same day voting was prevented or thrown out, how polling locations are only open during work hours, I’m not making shit up, they reduce the number of people least likely to vote republican by any means necessary and half of what is legal and being done now by Republicans was made illegal by the civil rights act for most of my lifetime. And that law died with a whimper under Obama of all presidents, the conservative supreme court justified that with ‘‘racism must be over now, so we can get rid of laws ment to combat racism’’
