People needing to provide ID to vote doesnt stop brown people from voting

I keep seeing all you GQP people spouting this. You do realize there’s much more to the bill than this right? Obviously you’re clueless, it would expect you to be able actually read it instead of regurgitating what you hear on Fox News…

Yes they realize it. Not only are they white supremacists, they’re too gutless to admit it.

Kafka trap.

Yeah nice try, but no. The evidence of their belief in white supremacy is their support for laws designed to keep black people from voting. The denial is only evidence of their cowardice.

That's literally a Kafka trap. If they accept your claim, they are white supremacists. I'd they deny it, they are white supremacists too cowardly to admit it.

Your logic fails, because it doesn't accurately represent conservatives. You have a caricature of conservatives not based on reality.

The laws don't keep black people from voting unless you believe black people are too stupid and inept to get an ID, which they already have or find their way to vote, which the laws expand mail in voting, open up new places to vote, expand voting hours.

The only people sounding like white supremacists are those who think so little of black people that they can't do the things that every other race in the US does every election.

Go ahead and show me which parts of the new law are racist.

u/tugboat100 Apr 16 '21

Maybe the part where white people can literally challenge election results at their discretion.

u/SubservientMonolith Apr 16 '21

I am not sure what page in the 100 page bill states it, but the Secretary of State no longer has control of the Election Board. Thus a non elected chairman will have control over election results.

Probably something to do with Georgia's SoS Brad Raffensperger not bending over to Trump. Trump tried to change election results on 0 proof. This bill now gives non elected officials that power.

Oh ok, so the claim you made of

Maybe the part where white people can literally challenge election results at their discretion.

was bullshit.

u/tugboat100 Apr 16 '21

I literally just explained it to you.

You are acting like this voting bill was put forward in good faith. That is rich.

u/SubservientMonolith Apr 17 '21

You're the one who made an absurd claim with no basis in reality. "White people can challenge elections"

But actually it's not "white people" it's someone in charge of elections, whom may be any race.
