It was 6 1/2 years ago when Peak Stupidity came up with this stuff - The Cocktail Party theory of Political Stupidity. That was nothing profound, our explaining why the Washington, FS politicians, no matter how much they'd seemed to be on our side, go native. I did get lucky to find the perfect "file photo" image for my long, now-partially-dated caption.
This SAVE act, a proposed Federal law to contain cheating in Federal elections by requiring a simple ID card*, seems like a no-brainer. Even half of the D voters have no problem with fairer voting methods. Those are probably the no-brainer ones, though, as they don't know how much the cheating has helped them out. (What, too cynical? Unpossible!)
It's not as if the Fed Gov has not interfered before in what ought to be State-determined election processes. Five of the 17 post-B.O.R. Constitutional Amendments transfered State power to control the franchise to the FedGov. It's not like the voters and elected officials against the SAVE act care about that old States' Rights business. They just would like election cheating to be a valid method, when and where it's necessary.
It's just not a thing anymore in America that a proposed law this straightfoward, supported by a large majority of the population, can be passed without a rash of ... whatever.
Per some continuing coverage on The GateWay Pundit, this John Thune character, Senate Majority leader (UP - SD), is at least being gracious enough to let the Senate vote on this bill. He's not too enthusiastic, and he doesn't seem to care a whole lot. Senator Thune and his esteemed colleagues are in their own world there... It was this tweet by one "Data republican" off this twitchy** page that brought back to mind that Cocktail Party Theory. Note the 2nd sentence:
Yep. It's not just in regard to this SAVE act. Most of these people go native.
* I had to renew my driver's license recently, something I'd dreaded for two reasons, the Orwellian REAL ID business and the going to the Highway Department to begin with. I was very relieved about the former - this was no different than years earlier - but the latter came true in spades - computers went down AFTER a 1 hour 45 minute wait.
** I used to think that twitchy WAS twitter. I don't get all this still... don't really want to...

PS: I meant to add, Mr. Anon, that Stuart Margolan died fairly recently. I finally came upon that great show opening with Jim and Rocky playing chess and Angel Martin’s comments. I’ll have to stick that into a post soon.

PS: Thank you very much for the heads-up on TRF on bitchute, Mr. Anon. I think I got through Season 4 when I was on that kick, ending wow, has it been 3 1/2 years? Yep. So, I remember this one, but I’ve got it queued up to watch later on today or tomorrow.
Have a good weekend.

OT: I know that you are an aficionado of The Rockford Files. All of the TRF are on Bit Chute, including this episode from the third season, which I found especially good:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/cOYLX7wrGQ6r
It really stood out, and was visually more interesting than most of the episodes. Turns out, it was directed by Stuart Margolin, the actor who played Angel.

PS: Dieter’s tweet, for the tweet-averse among us:
Roger Boylan:
“After the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the 55 attendees "drank 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of Claret, 8 bottles of Whiskey, 22 bottles of Porter, 8 bottles of Hard Cider, 12 of Beer and seven bowls of Alcoholic Punch." That would be two bottles of wine, several shots and a few cups of punch and beer for every guest. And so the USA joined the family of nations. It makes me quietly proud.”
