Sadly, we can count on the fascists in black robes put the final knife into the heart of the Voting Rights Act.

State Supported Vigilante Registered Voter Attack Turning Into Federal Scheme

Months before the 2024 election there was a documentary done by Greg Palast’s Vigilante Challenge(bit.ly/41UelTx) privately supported by a couple of celebrities After the 2024 election Palast, a well respected investigative journalist, shows that Harris would have won the election had it not been for the vigilante challenge of registered voters(specifically targeting AfroAmerican voters) by 40,000 vigilantes(these were MAGA private citizens could challenge the registration of a voter just because they could) This Georgia vigilante experiment evolved out of the Jim Crow era and the racial undertones that they had

Marc Elias in his Democracy Docket interviews Prof of Law David Noll(bit.ly/3KQpT5D) who wrote about a state legislative vigilante effort and warned before the 2024 election with his co-authored book Vigilante Nation that this would take place at the state government level Now Noll is bringing up the concern that the federal government will take on this state supported vigilante attack on registered voters

Cheeto and the Nazis in the BH(Black House) learned from their Georgia experiment that this vigilante scheme can be federalized to fit their totalitarian strategy to stay in power

Blue states are generally donor states to the federal revenue, while red states are recipient states. Democratic Senators, even in a 50/50 Senate represent 10's of millions more people. Someone needs to figure out how the most populous and most prosperous parts of the country can leverage that power to reverse the unequal representation given to red states.

This country is not close to one person one vote.

Apartheid South Africa did it, and it lasted for a while, yes, nature takes its course and moves relatively slowly, but nothing can hold nature back, Israelis and our White supremacist must understand, it's only a matter of time, nature reclaims what is its.

Very disheartening state of the country and frankly the liberals in general. if our best recourse is to call our congressman/ woman, what does this get us given that the called upon representative is either already on our side and will agree or on the other side and will give us the middle finger. We have been outmaneuvered and outsmarted by the other side and have only ourselves to blame. Remember: when they go low, we go high?? Well, they kept going low and us going high (remember Merrick Garland) and here we are losing our democracy to a convicted felon.

The big difference is that the republicans under trump don't play by the rules. So the democrats come out of it with bloody noses and nothing to show for it. The only thing left for democrats to do is take off the gloves and fight dirty too. To the victor go the spoils!

Section 2 is "permanent" and has no expiration date.

Let's see the 6 get around that.

All this illegal shit is going down in the most freedom loving nation on earth. Yet they are getting away with it. I know they have protested and have a biggie coming up today but it won't stop them. So what will?
