There are over 250 laws to restrict voting in over 40 states.

This is being labeled Jim Crow in a suit.

We are fighting a war, a war that will allow Americans their right to VOTE!

In Georgia they want to make a law that if you give someone waiting to vote on line a bottle of water, you are a criminal..
That you can NOT have a bus of voters, unless you get a permit! Think souls to the polls.

In the last 50 years there have been 1,500 voter fraud convictions.
In the last 50 years there have been 1.5 MILLION gun deaths.
Republicans act as if voter fraud is a real problem, it is NOT!

Former President Donald Trump's stolen election lie has convinced 3 of every 4 Republicans that there was widespread voter fraud in last year's election, according to a December Quinnipiac University poll, even though there is broad evidence that it is extremely rare.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office spent 22,000 hours looking for voter fraud and uncovered just 16 cases of false addresses on registration forms, according to The Houston Chronicle. Nearly 17 million voters are registered in Texas.

And while Texas already had some of the most restrictive laws on the books, that isn't stopping state lawmakers from joining their GOP peers across the country to propose new restrictive bills. Republican legislators in Georgia, Arizona, Florida and Wisconsin — many of whom joined with Trump to cast doubt on the system — are legislating to restrict the vote, arguing that new measures are needed to restore trust in the system.

According to the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law, lawmakers have introduced at least 253 restrictive bills in 43 states.

You also have a huge problem with everyone accusing others of bad intentions.

Until folks set the bar somewhere other than perfection, you'll never avoid the problem. There will always be someone, somewhere designing a t-shirt someone doesn't like.

For me, you'd be better off focussing on more successes and fewer failures. You aren't perfect and never will be, because you are human and the world isn't designed to make it possible. You aren't better than others. Nor are you worse than them. You've done some decent things along these lines. The US not only began with slavery, but it fought to get rid of it. The US not only had its Jim Crow period but also its Civil Rights era. People of different ethnicities all make contributions that produce a more interesting society. Think of take-out but remove Chinese, Italian, Thai, Indian or Japanese from the list of options. How many hot dogs can you eat?

I wish folks could look in the mirror and see themselves as neither hideous, nor beautiful, but human, with the lines of experience embedded in their faces. Understanding those lines is what makes for character. But you can't unmake them. Nor can you prevent them accruing.

Do you think endless, competing claims of victimhood make for a stronger or a weaker society? - Because everyone has something to complain about, if that's the path you choose. It's no good saying white people can't complain but black people can. If the most profitable path is to claim to be a victim, everyone is going to head down that path.

An alternative is to decide not to do that all the time about nearly everything.
