Birtherism can actually be traced to Clinton supporters in 2008!

Wow so it was actually Crooked Hillary Clinton's supporters that started it and not her? But that begs the question, why would Trump supporters believe in a Clinton supporters' conspiracy theory about Obama being Muslim/not born in America, but then turn around and say their theory of Trump's Russian collusion is a scam? How come they are picking and choosing and not being consistent? Why did they believe Clinton supporters then but not when it comes to Trump? And if they don't trust Crooked Hillary and her supporters, how did this conspiracy theory perpetuate for years? Who perpetuated it? Why did they perpetuate it.

And what else has Donald Trump lied about that brett and the rest of the GQP/Cult of Trump bought into? Elections being rigged? A deep state? Endless possibilities. Wow.

It's not a gotcha moment. Minorities were behind a lot until recently. Why?

If you know that black people on average are less likely to be able to afford this additional cost to vote, and you enact the law specifically to reduce their turnout, that is racist.

You realize there’s a bunch of white people who are also impoverished right?

It's a ridiculous point.

But that's not true...at all. More white people live in rural areas. That's a fact. The cities and suburbs are littered with DMV's.

Anyway.




You seem to be under the mistaken - and, I think, purely rhetorical - belief that if something can also have an impact on any number of white people then it cannot be racist, which is obviously absurd. But you know that.

The problem is that is predominantly and disproportionately impacts minority voters. The other problem is that Republicans have been stupid enough to admit as much.

Shut the front door! 10 miles :laugh: The horror! 10 miles?!

I live more than 10 miles away from my nearest id-issuing office. Hell, if I couldn't get more than 10 miles from my home, I wouldn't be able to go to work and my son wouldn't go to school.

I'm betting that is made easier by having a car.

You know who isn't driving more than ten miles?

People without a ****ing driver's license, or else they'd already have an ID, wouldn't they?

Christ.

The South, where many of these laws are being enacted, has the largest rural black population in the country.

Wait a minute if I don't have a driver's license, you mean I can't drive?
