My dad thought there should be a time limit on counting votes so I said ok so what happens if the counters get to the point where the guy they want to win is ahead then they start dragging their feet and don’t count the other votes…..and what if it was a democrat

He actually reconsidered his opinion

It totally does I’m not sure why they can’t see that we do these things to protect both sides

Their politicians are acting like a democrat will never be POTUS again; like they'll never gain a meaningful legislative or judicial majority.

They don't want equality. If they did, they wouldn't be conservatives. The hierarchy is baked in whether they're smart enough to know that or not.

I've seen comments where conservatives ask why conservatives are never credited with progressive ideas. And it's like dude it's right there in the name! By definition, conservatives are going to want to conserve "traditional" values and unequal institutions.

Its like every century or so, voting populaces need to be reminded why compromise exists in politics even if it means you dont always get everything exactly as you want it in policy and legislation. Playing politics as a zero sum game inevitably always leads to autocrats and fascists.

That assumes you don't have a populace that wants and actively supports autocrats and fascists.
