Murikkkans, lolololololololololololololol!
Damn they aren't even hiding their racism. Literally suing because ad ask people of color to vote.
Warrenton county Virginia mailer. Note the marriage amendment specifically.
They couldn't even make it without a bunch of AI slop.
Their arguments against gay marriage are just so transparently hateful. I've seen people on FB try to claim the amendment is "unnecessary" as if the rest of us don't realize that the maga bigots would ban gay marriage the very first chance they get. Gaslighting liars.
Yup. They always try to claim "religious liberty".
Goose: Religious liberty to do what, motherfuckers?
Just focusing on the one about marriage. Why are they concerned that a law about who can marry who, would have an effect on schools? Do they want to marry school children?
Virginia isn’t for lovers.
No you don't understand. They don't mention white people therefore it's racist to white people. /S
Villain straight from central casting.
from central casting
Given how often donnie has talked about men and women that he's sexually attracted to being "from central casting", and now seems to be in the throes of gay dementia, I wonder how long until he has a literal casting couch for people he'll endorse, give pardons to, cut in on his massive looting of America, add to his administration, etc.
Ken paxton is such a petty criminal, he literally swiped someone's $1000 pen. Pure instinctive, crime-of-opportunity style larceny.
If ken paxton was not white, ken paxton would be calling for ken paxton to be deported.
Any time I see pictures of this douchecanoe, he reminds me of that alien from the first men in black movie that is wearing that human skin asking for sugar water.
He's just a giant cockroach wearing a poorly fitting Ken Paxton suit.
This is offensive to douches and canoes. They serve useful functions.
The only good vote is a white vote. /s
Dumb as hell. He's saying it as if white people couldn't possibly be receiving the same ads jajajaja
White people hate it when everyone else uses their tactics. Weird. Maybe privilege doesn't feel so good when equal.
Conservatives want to repeal the 19th. The 13th is next after that.
Anyone can sue for anything and if you don’t respond you automatically lose.
It’s no doubt a SLAPP suit. There’s no intention for or belief in winning, the suit exists only to threaten someone into silence/insction. Trial attorneys are a specific type, the expensive type. They usually want a 4 figure retainer just to read/review.
Land of the free! Murikkkans, lolololololololololololol!
Murikkkans, lololololololololololololol!
He's just jealous that a black lady can run for President (and lose!), and still have a county named after her. Where's Paxton County, huh? How can that be fair at all?
Explain to me how they have less access to voting?
They are given fewer voting locations for larger populations, leading to long lines, and requiring a lot more effort from the voter to get their ballot cast.
Also, given this morning I was reading about the Southern "correctional" system and the way it was run, and the bullshit schemes for in-person voting comes up on this thread, I've been thinking about this clip.
"Is there racism in America?"
Usually done with surgical precision.
