America has been around for 250 years.

For about 200 of those years white men could do whatever they pleased and everyone else had to get the ---- out of the way.

Unfortunately. Over the past 50 years minorities, women, people who used to be slaves, people without dicks, people who cut off their dicks, gays, yellow people, red people, Black people, brown people, female people, beta males ... have all been gaining representation and equality and conservative white men can't stand it!

Let's get ourselves back to being a country where a white man without a high school diploma could do better than some minority with a PhD.

Yeehaw!

Louisiana Republicans are going to cancel the upcoming election to eliminate Black majority districts despite the election already starting, per the WAPO.

The election already started. People have voted. Republicans are about to cancel their votes.

Republicans are literally cancelling elections now.

This is fascism.

All 6 Conservative Justices dined with Trump the night before they gutted the voting rights act.

38 posts on a thread about the Republicans ending democracy in America.

Guess it's not really important.

The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act yesterday.

Louisiana canceled an already-started election to redraw maps and disenfranchise Black voters today.

Republicans moved that fast.

"The supreme court betrayed Black voters, they betrayed America, and they betrayed our democracy."
- Barack Obama

Americans fought in the 60s for the voting rights act.

Martin Luther King fought for the voting rights act.

The Supreme Court erased the America Americans fought for.

Trump needs the voting rights act dead so he can remain protected from the Epstein files.

@stinsoncarter

My POV as a South Carolinian originally from Louisiana is that no matter how bad their lives get, a majority of working whites will always vote Republican because race is the only social asset they've got left.

To vote the same way as Black people, even when it's clearly in their own interests, is to accept that they are not superior and that is something they simply cannot and will not do.

@ngrossman81

The Senate passed the Voting Rights Act renewal in 2006 by a vote of 98-0.

The Supreme Court majority gutted it on the grounds that the Justices personally dislike the impact.

Unfortunately I have seen the same in Cali

I always find it funny when people don't realize how conservative California really is.

I know our urban centers are heavily democratic. But the vast majority of rural California and a good chunk of suburban California is very conservative.
