Look up Jerry Falwell and his ‘Moral Majority.’
Falwell was a TV preacher who decided he wanted to get into politics. He had a simple formula to take over the GOP. The Party depends on small local clubs to do all the little things like getting petitions signed and driving folks to the polls on election day. Those clubs pick local office holders like sheriffs and county clerks.
Falwell told his people to show up at those clubs whenever there was a decision to be voted on. If there’d been twenty folks there for the last vote, Falwell’s ‘Moral Majority’ would show up with fifty. Pretty soon Jerry had a lot of local folks in his pocket. Those soon became Congressmembers and Governors.
AOC did it in one Congressional district.
If they owned the elections they wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop people from voting.

Voting in elections is like breathing. The next one is always the most important one of your lifetime.

My favorite story about him goes like this. He created Power Girl as an alternate world Supergirl. After the first issue he started drawing her boobs bigger and bigger. He said he’d stop when someone noticed and/or complained.
I always upvote deleted commnets
Ayn Rand didn’t stop smoking after she’d been warned about the risks.
Because her books weren’t selling, she ended up on social security, a program she’d mocked when healthy.
To her admirers she is a model of the power of intellect and the glory of self reliance and independence
iirc there’s an issue of The Justice League where Plastic Man turns himself into a skintight dress and mails himself to Wonder Woman.

Think of it this way. You are in a courtroom and the lawyer asks 'why didn’t you call the police?"
If your home was burglarized and you don’t call the cops, the police will assume you’ve been doing something illegal. Most people will call the cops just to have a police report on file for the insurance or to claim a tax loss.
