Republicans don't stop voting just because they got what they wanted--they just find new things to want.
I don't know why some other people apparently do. It's a weird, illogical, short-term way of thinking that causes us to lose every step of progress we make. https://twitter.com/fmanjoo/status/1320928657251024899
