Easier to vote translates to “Easier to cheat”.
Not a thing, never was, just mouth noises to make that sound better than “C’mon, we can’t let *everyone* vote”
Not shocking, this has been a part of the GOP’s ‘Southern strategy’ for years. Give everything possible to the wealthy who already have more than the could spend in a thousand years, voter suppression, and use the propaganda machine to blame minorities and lower classes for every problem in society.
Questioner: But the fact is, isn’t it, that Reagan does get to the Wallace voter and to the racist side of the Wallace voter by doing away with legal services, by cutting down on food stamps?
Atwater: Y’all don’t quote me on this. You start out in 1954 by saying, “N—–, n—–, n—–.” By 1968 you can’t say “n—–“—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states’ rights and all that stuff. You’re getting so abstract now [that] you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I’m not saying that. But I’m saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “N—–, n—–.”
HA !!
Hey, who was it who said he loved his dumbass constituency?
More correctly stated: Voter herding of the uneducated and gullible is the key to Democrat strategy.
Wrong! Try again…you might get it right eventually but I’m not betting on it.
Why would Sam O’Connor ever get it right, Tanner? He does not want to. He knows, or would if he let himself, that voter exclusion is viewed as essential by Republican politicians, but he is never going to admit it.
Sure, and Trump rallies are gatherings of PhDs who come to hear nuanced policy arguments and spin-free facts.
Talk about projection!
Yet these are the people who “love democracy and freedom.”
As long as it suits their purposes, apparently.
