      Voters are having our right to vote suppressed like how Southern racists and the KKK suppressed people 60 years ago. And the suppression is being done by the *same people as then*. Same type of people, anyway. People who support ICE now would have supported the Klan 60 years ago. The evil we see now is a resurgence of evil from ages past. But it’s weaker than before. Fascism doesn’t belong in the world of today, and fascists are well aware of that. Fox News denies reality *because reality itself is against its evil*. The far-right is *desperate* because they see that they are *losing* to the will of the American people.

      I don’t know how to not feel utterly defeated and deflated but this news

      It feels like the bad guys won and we can fight as hard as we want to November and beyond, but in the end they will get what they want and good loses…

      The complete Conservative takeover of the country feels nearly assured because despite being a minority they will have the greatest control over the votes

      Like we weren’t largely disenfranchised already right? Not saying it’s not bad but pretending just now is where things went wrong is stupid as fuck.

      Now? There is a history of many potential groups of voters in this country being disenfranchised. Nothing new.

      If voting no longer matters, they’re begging us to get them out of office by means beyond voting.

      SCOTUS has anointed apartheid in America only 30 years after it collapsed in south Africa. 

      That’s gotta be a human rights record for flip flopping from one extreme to another.

      To actually unite against apartheid in 1990 and then embrace and celebrate apartheid in 2026? 

      White supremacy never went away but they did manage to hire some blacks to do the dirty work. Maybe that is the best progress we can hope for. Blacks advanced to oppressing other blacks.

      The castration of the voting rights act was a big part of project 2025 to ensure christo-fascist regimes are legally impregnable. 

      The goal is to always have white supremacists in power and they can weaponize the law against the minority and blacks will never be represented. It’s legal apartheid.

      If you see something about minority voters and the Supreme Court today, here is an explanation

      SCOTUS just gutted the VRA and allowed for reverse discrimination to be taken seriously as part of a legal argument in the highest court of our nation.

      6-3 Callais v. Landry

      A group of non-Black voters challenged this map as an „unconstitutional racial gerrymander“

      a Louisiana congressional map had been redrawn to include a second Black-majority district to comply with the VRA

      SCOTUS: race was too predominant in the maps creation, effectively siding with the challenge.

      DISSENT: The ruling strengthens the argument that creating minority-opportunity districts to comply with the VRA is a form of illegal „reverse discrimination“.

      Bad things happen when you disenfranchise voters. Things in not allowed to say on here. Let’s not go down that road, please?

      In the 2000 election half a million more voted for Gore than Bush, but SCOTUS voted 5-4 that Bush should win so he did.

      In the 2016 election 3 million more voted for Clinton than trump, but the EC voted for trump.

      US voters have been disenfranchised for a long time. They get to vote, but even when their candidate gets more votes their candidate loses which is effectively disenfranchising the population from choosing the president.

      Thanks for posting this article by journalist Adam Serwer from The Atlantic. It truly is a masterclass in journalism. It’s eyeopening beyond the pale how deeply rooted white Christian evangelists were promoting segregation also in modern times.
      This is what we see going on in the current US administration. If anyone’s in doubt, look at what Pete Hegseth is doing and promoting. If still in doubt, decipher his tatoos.

      From the article:

      „The Court’s decision is consonant with the philosophy, articulated by Kilpatrick in his earlier days, that the state is oppressive when it interferes with the right to discriminate, and respects liberty when it allows discrimination. And the decision fits just as well with Kilpatrick’s later spin on that philosophy: Attempts to ban racial discrimination are themselves discriminatory—against white people.“

      20 years ago in high school I was already wondering how the fuck anyone thought the SC made any sense.

      A judge isn’t explicitly a Republican or Democrat? They’re supposedly „neutral“? Despite being more or less unilaterally selected by a partisan President? Yea I’m fuckin sure.

      And they have the job for LIFE? No matter what??? And there’s exactly 7, and the only way to determine which President gets to make appointments is waiting until one of them dies at some arbitrary time? And there are no limits to how many a single President can appoint?

      All this is absolutely utter insanity. It was insanity 20 years ago, but I could brush it off as „what do I know? the adults are in charge and they must know what they’re doing, and it’s worked for this long. Something something decorum something professionalism.“

      Now I think it’s becoming clear to everybody that it was fucking stupid all along and we were all fucking stupid to accept it.

      People voted for authoritarian christofascism. Not sure why everyone is so surprised it’s now happening.

      Pure project 2025 enshittification. Spite based politics as always thanks boomers.

      Only now? I’m 28 and my vote has never been consequential since I live in a deep red state. I still show up yes, but I could vote 10,000 times and not move the needle. Fuck the electoral college with a big rubber dick.

      When they said it was fine to gerrymander for partisan reasons it was already ok. Parties choosing their voters is bad full stop.

    33. monymkrmom on

      Why not just register as what they want and vote what you want at least you will be allowed to vote. This is fucked up 1st roe vs wade as a test then take away voting rights. There is no balance of government its only executive now we are not in a democratic nation now its authoritarian state

      The 14th amendment specifies equal protection under the law.

      The relevant VRA section was an attempt at saying because minorities faced negative unequal protection in the past, they must receive position unequal protection as a counterbalancing force.

      The 14th specifies exactly equal protection. Not unequal protection for any reason positive or negative.

      It’s not fair that minorities saw unequal treatment for so long, and discussion/debate over remedy tactics is real and complicated; but the amendment says what it says.
