There's only one reason the Republicans jumped on the Voter ID bandwagon.

The photo ID gap. Fewer Blacks have photo IDs than whites. This is a fact, the reason is irrelevant.

Minority voters are 2.5 to six times more likely to lack photo ID than white voters. Those are the facts. It makes no difference as to why.

If there was no photo ID gap, you'd have never heard of Voter ID laws. How do we know? Because Republicans keep admitting that voter ID helps them win.

They pass it, then blue states should secede. Tired of all the bullshit. At some point we can't just pretend those kinds of things aren't options.

Republican Nazi Ethnic Cleansing: Christian Nationalism And White Discrimination

Tyler Perry’s new movie Joe’s College Road Trip(https://bit.ly/4aWaFWb) is a hilarious expose of a pushback against the white supremacy need to erase black ethnic history so that they as victims can claim discrimination But simply substitute Hispanic for the ethnic cleansing of blacks and one gets the broad activity of ICE and its concentration camps This simply mirrors the 1930’s Hitler’s Third Reich and its Nazi racism and antisemitism….German blood purity

Christopher Mathias author of Covering the Far Right(https://bit.ly/4ky3OX2)also underscores what the Cheeto regime is hard at work trying to establish….a federal government that rewards loyalists and election denialists to the cause of white supremacy and avoiding people with expertise Case in point is the nomination of Jeremy Carl for a top diplomatic position

The Cheeto regime is clearly populating itself with white supremacists or groypers who will carry the Christian Nationalist agenda or more popularly known as Project 2025 The fact that a significant majority(66%) in national polling of this regime is against such an ideology implies that the American majority doesn’t buy into this fascist discrimination
