Big fat duuuuh!

How many times to I have to tell you right wingers, Republicans are out to suppress the black vote/political power. Yes they are racist yet you continue to deny it. They enact voter restrictions on bullshit premises to either cut the black vote on the margins or discourage turnout. Listen to the excuse makers on this forum black people are equally responsible for the racism levied against them

Let them continue the investigations. With only 115 cases and more than half failing to get conviction, they’re just helping digging their own grave. They providing proof how little voter fraud there really is. This is far from widespread suppressing the minority vote.

This is only one leg of the voter suppression chair. One of the other legs is the racist gerrymandering.

Democrats would crackdown on rural white voters if they had the temerity to do so, but they don't.

GOP does that, because they don't think they can appeal to minorities, especially Black voters. Latinos, they can, cause a lot of Latinos are right wing.

I actually completely understand why Republicans are terrified. Republicans have lost the popular vote in 2020, 2016, 2012, 2008, 2000, 1996, and 1992.

Trying to steal elections and deny enfranchisement is really the only path forward for them at this point outside of actually reworking their policy positions to offer functional solutions that are distinct from democrats.

Nice move. Ignore what is ACTUALLY going on and deflect with something you SPECULATE.

Meanwhile if I ask you is this evidence Republicans are a racist Party your answer would be what?

If they are winning on policy, they better get rank and file cops and working class whites on board, because they are not buying it.
So why don't white people consider capping insulin at $35 a benefit to them?
I hear drill baby drill from the right but why don't white people consider the US being the #1 oil producer a benefit to them?

That I wonder as well.....I think a lot of middle class whites get wrapped into the American flag, cops, etc. These are symbolic things, Kaepernick kneeling, BLM's criticism of policing is like hurting white Americans or it's seen as insulting, because a lot of white Americans feel like minorities don't give cops the credit for trying to help inner cities by arresting the ones there that are doing bad things and not giving them thanks or appreciation like they do....they feel that would bring everyone together.

If that were the case, then can you explain why someone should be saying thank you to the police officer doing this. What he did for sure is wrong don't you think?

1. 2 years ago is not a long time, white suburbanites feel safe walking in the city because of cops like that (the same white suburbanites that are swingy voters)
2. I was born in America just because I have different opinion doesn't mean anything

1. Facts not in evidence.

2. Contrary facts in evidence. You have yet to provide proof.

Most of the stuff on your list is just utter bullshit.

The same people upset about Kapernick kneeling are cool with cops at the capital being beaten within an inch of their lives.

The same people upset about Kaepernick kneeling are cool with a candidate for POTUS trashing a POW because he was captured.

Which is more disrespectful??

They feel by saying "thanks", cops feel appreciated and their morale goes up in doing their job.......

Obviously what he did was wrong, but a lot middle class white and Latinos don't see it that way.....

People rely on the police for protection against people who break the law. The kind of people the police deal with on a consistent basis are our criminal element. The result can be cops who see people as dangerous and deserving of overwhelming force. The recognition of these two realizations people can hold about police in general as a result provide countries like Russia to use psyops to sow doubt about life in general in America because of this internal tension. To create a sense of moral ambiguity in a population creates social paralysis. But imagine the moral condition of people who are willing to trade income in such professions for real self respect. What kind of human garbage would support Putin.

Is this your way of saying if the capital attackers had been primarily people of color a lot would have been shot dead?
