Governor

They absolutely are the target and always have been the target. The working poor as some would call them. You have this idea in your head that people are coming into peoples homes and dragging them out of bed at 3pm to fill out a ballot and then going back to sleep. I can assure you those aren’t the people that these laws are designed to affect. LMAO.

I worked on this issue for 10 years. I’ve watched the suppression tactics the entire way through. You’re defending tactics that GOP officials no longer defend. They are openly saying why they want to restrict voting. They say that if people have the option to mail in vote, Republicans will never win the presidency again. Not a single American should have to wait in a long line to vote in 2022. It says that everyone has the right to vote. It doesn’t say that you have the right to vote if you can hula-hoop for 5 minutes and then climb Mt. Everest. Most low income folks can’t even get time off to vote. The mail in voting process is great the way it is. I’m sorry that your party’s ideology is dead. It happens. Minority rule isn’t sustainable. We tried to meet R’s in the middle and declare it a national holiday so everyone could vote. They refused.

https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/557550-the-gops-strategy-is-galvanizing-democrats-ahead-of-2022 The more that Republicans attempt to implement laws directly intended to deny Black voters their full voting rights, the more motivated African Americans will be to turn out to the polls. It’s not rocket science — instead of lulling Democrats to sleep and taking advantage of a party in complete control of every level of government, Republicans have found a way to activate the base of the Democratic party and ensure another cycle of record turnout. History may not be on the side of the party in power, but Republicans’ strategy of feeding their base an endless amount of red meat, while rationing universal truths, could backfire spectacularly and lead to Democrats maintaining control and bucking the trend.

Now you understand why Red Governors are passing voting laws. It’s not about fraud. It’s about mitigating the damage they’ve done to their own voters(death) with bad Covid policy, and the only way they can overcome those losses is by stopping certain people from voting and hoping for low midterm turnout. This isn’t a secret to anyone. The Governors have all of the data. Unfortunately, passing restrictive voting laws only pisses voters off and has previously led to higher Dem turnout.

Right. The first states hit by the virus before any precautions were in place. it was all Red states after that….Florida likely being the worst. https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/10/politics/covid-cases-deaths-red-blue-states-late-2020/index.html

NJ doesn’t really matter since it could never turn red. NJ was the first state to get ravaged by the virus. The rest of the country had 3 months to prepare and some of those states ended up with more deaths….like Florida. Not a surprise to anyone.

Correct. Blue states will get bluer and red states will turn more purple.

The disproportionate impact is from GOP voters, mainly over 60, not masking up and not getting vaccinated from the get-go. The only groups still dying from Covid are unvaccinated, uneducated whites, black males, and old people. We also know that Covid ripped through rural areas at higher rates over the last 6 months. Those voters tend to be Republicans. People just aren’t talking about it yet because Trumpers will scream bloody murder and say we tried to kill them or Biden only gave vaccines to blue states, etc. As far as I know, they haven’t released the names of people that died, so until that happens, data geeks will have to get death numbers from hospitals and apply voter affiliation from that depending on where that hospital is located and district, to figure out just how many more Trumpers perished than Dems. Then just apply the breakdown on typical midterm voter demographics in those districts.

Those numbers are pretty generous. The only part we don’t know yet is the “where.” What is the breakdown by district? By taking a look at the 3 groups that refuse to get vaccinated you can probably cancel out uneducated whites and black males, and then you’re left with old people. People under 30 don’t vote in midterm elections anyway so they won’t matter. The decrease of old Republican voters will likely be the difference in quite a few races.

That will be our fault too. They tricked us into not getting vaccinated so we’d all die and lose the 2022 midterms!

Your party committed suicide to own the libs. We didn’t tell you to do that. Your cult leader did. He told you to drink aquarium cleaner and inject bleach into your foreheads instead of getting vaccinated. It’s over and you don’t even realize it. Look at how close those house and senate races were in 2018. My guess is that the death breakdown will be 65% R to 35% D when it’s all said and done.

Do you have a forecast that shows the economy will collapse before the midterms? I didn’t think so. If that’s what you’re clinging to, you’ve already lost. Shall we declare victory now?

It’s a good thing there won’t be any Republican voters left by 2024 right? This sadness has to stop. The guy is beating you like a drum. https://www.npr.org/2021/06/09/1004430257/theres-a-stark-red-blue-divide-when-it-comes-to-states-vaccination-rates What I’m trying to say is that 2024 might already be over. We should have the breakdown by party affiliation at some point. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1103688/coronavirus-covid19-deaths-us-by-state/ Think about it. What group had it worst with Covid? Old people. What group are the most reliable voters for midterms? Old people. How many of these seats will turn/stay blue due to Covid If Dems increase young turnout by just a little bit? Enough of them.

So kinda like Sharia law?

At this point, do these people know why they support a Keystone pipeline? LMAO. Did this poster miss the 2008 election? Yes, and any oil from the Keystone pipeline goes right into my gas tank. It doesn’t go to the world oil market. Gas would be free if Biden didn’t do these terrible things to me. I have to worry about vaccinated people “shedding” on me and now this?????

Those Keystone talking points were debunked 10 years ago.

You know your President is doing a great job when people start complaining about gas prices in the summer and whiny culture war issues they invented in their heads. Go Joe Go!!!!!!

The planet closed during a pandemic which decreased demand and oil prices fell. When the planet opened back up, demand increased and oil prices increased. We’re also in the summer months when gas normally goes up. Nothing unexpected is happening right now.

I thought conservatives supported private schools teaching whatever they want. Should we eliminate Christian schools also? Race theory isn’t being taught in the public school system.

Just to give you an idea of how little the average voter follows this stuff…. Half of the southern states still didn’t know who Bernie Sanders was the SECOND time he ran. Lol.

Most voters don’t know who Desantis is. His national name recognition is probably around 25 percent. The voters that do know him see him as a Trump puppet. If Trump doesn’t bow out of the race in the next few months, there won’t be a opportunity for DeSantis to introduce himself to the voters, since Donald will suck all of the oxygen out of the room. Will Trump do that and clear the path for DeSantis to run? Not likely.

Told you Biden was running. He has no choice. It’s such a weak field of candidates. https://www.politico.com/newsletters/west-wing-playbook/2021/06/07/biden-wants-to-beat-trump-twice-493151

Poll: Biden approval holds steady at 61 percent.

Folks, we’ve got a major scandal on our hands!
