Bringing this up because JoG has got his knickers in a bunch about being labelled as a white supremacist, trying to turn that into a personal attack and thus have this sort of speech banned.

First some facts: This election was officially deemed to be the most secure ever, which surprised those who were expecting pandemic chaos. It's clear that the States that tried to illegally overturn the election are now suddenly bringing in bills specifically designed to make it more difficult for people of colour.

If you don't vote you have no voice and I would find it difficult to see a more fundamental example of white supremacy in action. You don't need to wear a pointy white hood you just need to be supportive of stopping non white people from voting.

Therefore anyone who supports laws that are plainly designed to stop people voting and those people happen to be predominantly non while, is by definition a white supremacist and I do not apologise if this is not palatable.

As usual Trump already said the quiet part out loud, which was if everyone voted, then the GOP would never get elected to power.

To try and pretend these are just normal laws to stop the election fraud which everybody with any credibility said did not take place, is similar to the defence argument that Derek Chauvin did not murder George Floyd because Floyd died from natural causes that coincidentally happened during the 10 minutes that Chauvin spent killing Floyd.

I have not read any of the proposals in order to gather finer detail. Why? Because I don't want to get into the gamey arguments about whether water is allowed to be given to people waiting in line, that's just been sensationalised.

What is more relevant are not the clickbait bits but the meat and potatoes. However we do not need to look at the fine details because it is obvious that the main effect of the new laws being brought in is to supress minority votes under the pretext of 'voter fraud'.

However I predict that this strategy will fail because now that people have tasted their power, by tipping the Senate, and when they voted they *knew*  what it meant, they won't let that go.

The 2022 midterms are going to be very interesting. By all norms the GOP should take back the House. But nothing is normal any longer.

Let's see, If a person of White colored skin, is asked for a ID to get on a Airplane, buy booze, rent a hotel room, open a blank account, vote,
(Among the several Hundreds of other reasons),
that is perfectly OK.

Yet if the same thing is asked of, 'a person of colour',
THEN, it is 'White Supremacy".

OK, Got it

Buying/Owning a Firearm is also a Right.
Yet a ID is Required.

So, if a  person of White colored skin, is asked for a ID to buy a gun,
that is perfectly OK.

Yet if the same thing is asked of, 'a person of color',
THEN, it is 'White Supremacy”.

Oh BTY, their are 12 things/reasons, a person can be Denied the ‘Right’ to purchase a legal firearm.

How many ‘things/reasons’ exist, that a person can be Denied the Right to vote ?

(Even Felons In Jail, can vote in many states !)
