John Deering for March 10, 2021

More like tyranny of the minority

And the GQP claims to hate government overreach.

(angry black emoji)

I think it’s called “overreach” when it gets stopped. So it becomes absolutely obvious that we need a new voting rights act.

Can’t have those brown people gettin’ “uppity” now. Next thing you know they’ll want cops to be accountable for their conduct.

Well, that’s one way to “win” an election – by disenfranchising the majority of the population by the minority vote!! America – the land of liberty and justice for some – to wit: the rich and infamous!!

It’s the only way they can win elections.

The real cancel culture — cancelling democracy.

I foresee a whole lot of SCOTUS Cases the near future !

That is what the Republicans mean it to be young lady.

No right-wing populist comments here……………they’re out celebrating……………………in Texas.

The basic problem is that most Americans don’t vote, don’t know, and don’t care. They make it easy for a few to be in control of the many.

Truly amazing how the autocratic overtones have bubbled to the surface since 2016 and continue to bubble and fester. Better that people know and combat this in the U.S.

You’d think a political party openly attacking voters would be unappealing to normal voters…

…but these are not “normal” voters, apparently. Republicans implicitly explain, through their actions, that they’re only attacking those people, which, therefore, is only protecting “us”.

Yes, Honey. That is EXACTLY what the Repugnanticans mean

Call your Congresscritter and tell them to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act,

Just the republicans. Only the republicans hate people of color, only the white racist minority republicans want to take their vote away.

But but but… Republicans have the right to make sure everybody votes “right”… /s

“Shut up and pick cotton!” “Forty acres and a mule!” : The “Southern Strategy” for Century XXI of the ASWPP & Co.

How can ya expect us t’ letcha vote if ya can’t do it right?

The pattern is obvious and appalling: Trump and the Republicans are trying to invalidate votes in cities with large African American populations .

Washington Post

Republicans and the Trump campaign have challenged or questioned the vote count in Black areas of Wisconsin and Michigan

Intelligencer

Donald Trump’s efforts to disenfranchise Black voters in North Carolina is an age-old tactic. Here’s the history behind Black voter suppression.

Time

After Black voters turned out in record numbers, the GOP wants to make it harder to vote.

Mother Jones

The long read: How Republicans applied old school racism to new demographics, and lost.

The Guardian

Republican attempts to exclude African Americans from the polls echoes efforts by Southern whites that enabled the Jim Crow era.

New Republic

I could go on.

White Nationalist Republicans are a small minority.

It means they put voting by minorities just out of reach.

Criminals!! Self seeking criminals!! Shame on them.

I’m betting large coin she has a driver’s license. Or a State issued ID. Or one of several other acceptable photo ID’s.

Because as we all know an adult in the US is almost incapable of having any sort of normal life.
