Last week, the state of Georgia passed a comprehensive election integrity bill, which expanded voting rights and access for legitimate voters, thereby making it easier for people to vote, while requiring voters to show ID prior to voting, and securing the chain of custody for mail-in and absentee ballots. Governor Brian Kemp said that the new bill made it easier to vote, and harder to cheat.
The wokist left went berserk, as did their allies in corporate America. They falsely smeared it as ‘racist’ and ‘Jim Crow Part 2’. Joe Biden got into the act, and attacked it, too. They never addressed the merits of the bill, they just went on offence and attacked the motives of those who passed and supported it.
As a minority man, with olive brown skin, this makes my blood boil. The wokist left is so damn racist, they think men like me are too stupid to get ID to vote?! I need ID to board a plane. What’s wrong with having ID to show you are a legitimate voter?
Mail-in balloting is fraught with fraud. That’s why no other advanced democracy allows it, except in very limited circumstances. In most countries, if you want to vote, you must do so in person. France has basically outlawed the practice, with very few exceptions, as has Japan. In Canada, where I live, you must vote in person. You show ID before you vote. It’s something that both Liberals and Conservatives in Canada agree upon. It should be something that both liberals and conservatives in the United states agree upon.
Anyone who opposes election security and integrity is by definition a supporter of tyranny, unfree elections and an intellectually dishonest gaslighter. Full stop. End of story. Conservatives need to persuade those in the middle that this attack on the Georgia bill is a monstrous fraud and is designed to weaken the will of the American people to have elections that they can trust.
Fully half the country has deep misgivings about the 2020 Presidential election. If those misgivings are not addressed, I fear for the future of the country as a free Republic.
And to those corporate leaders who are jumping on the woke train, stop. You’re about to alienate 50-60% of your customers. Do not wade into politics without knowing the facts, and be smart and stop attacking the good people of this country with vicious and false smears. America in 2021 is not the Jim Crow South of 1921. Far from it. What makes America unique and special among world nations is that it, alone, engages in deep self-reflection, acknowledges its flaws, and addressed them forthrightly. Among these is the stain of racism. 100 years ago, being a racist was no big deal, and in fact a mainstream position. Today, being a racist is a very big deal, and will get a person shunned and kicked out of polite society. This is a good thing. Americans today strive hard to be fair and deal with people based, not on the color of their skin, but on the content of their character. It is a far better and fairer place for it. Martin Luther King, Jr. — one of my personal heroes — would approve.
