The thing is, that's the Republican party does. They steal elections. They've been running minority governments for the majority of this millennium, but have structured things so that they keep winning, even without the support of the majority of people. Which they use as a justification for ignoring the will of the people even more.
What's different now is that Republicans -- not the party, but the individual members and voters of the party -- represent a clear and present threat to other Americans. All of them that go around without wearing masks, demanding that schools reopen, operating unsafe workplaces are creating a circumstance where we all are more likely to die. Individaul members of the Republican Party want nothing less than the mass death of Americans, and show it in their actions.
This would be all fine and well if they had their own country, and we could close the borders to them. But we can't, because they seem to think that the entire country is theirs to do with as they want. Like the wedding up in Millinocket, Maine -- people came in from out of town, none of the attendees ended up very sick, but by their negligent actions other people have died. If they did that in their own country -- fine, just go be stupid together. But because we have to live with this foreign culture in our midst, one that believes in anti-science and racism and celebrity cannibalism, we are all at risk.
And stacking the court is just one more step towards cementing the Republicans' apartheid government.
