#Sharpton #Texas #GOP
If there are ANY REPUBLICAN voters even.left ALIVE in 2022 and 2024…lol
@Roman Temniuk you sure about that??.. considering all the Covid deaths BEFORE the election in those swing states were Red..not blue..as Reds chose NOT to even TRY to stop the spread of the virus!!..so many got sick and died!!..had that not happened..Trump would still be Prez..think about it!!
Let’s hope not. ‘Die another day’. Could be a Bond movie. Or did they already have that one?
‘The day Trump died and no one showed up for his cremation’.
Or, ‘Killing Trump’ By Bill Oriely.
@Cid Sapient No she did not make a threat. She was referring to the covid vaccine refusal.
The way they rigged the system, the whole point is the minority can disregard the will of the majority.
If ya wanba end up like Trayvon, by all means TRY it
Republicans can’t make it any more obvious just how badly the party has degenerated as to try to interfere with people’s right to vote.
@JK F1 You and I will care when the vaccines that are available are no longer viable because of all the new variants that are being created.
@Rodney Collins – Oh, god!!!! What will we do!!!???? Get a life and leave everyone else alone. Good luck!
@S McDonald Great point well said!!🤭🤔
@S McDonald Yup!!🙂😏👍👍👍👍👍👍….that’s bout sums it up!!!
Cry some more, leftists.
DOJ has to bring the hammer
Yes….. down on Democrats!!!!!
@R W yeah, GOP big winners in the courts
@R W
Bye chenkov
They know they can’t win without cheating.
@UCeOLnTdwlkPeNDJefe8cfXQ you mean Dixiecrats? Duh
How does this restrict anything. Lol
You mean ensure votes are legal.
Dems have to have illegal imagination for illegal votes. Lol
Texas acting unamerican.
Exactly. Democrats cant win without cheating. If they werent up to no good this bill wouldnt affect them.
GOP have been cheating on the State level in Alabama for years.
The thing we got to do is what the thing is the right thing. And therefore nobody get misled Fool🧮🧮🧮🧮⚖️⚖️📜📜🔎🔍📧✋🗡️🤴👈⚔️👈
Texas Republicans are the worst of the worst. Their obvious desperation to stay in power is just pathetic.
@Cid Sapient
The intelligent, moral people are with me.
@maria schultz
Gas prices have been affected by the economic ramifications of TFG’s bungled Covid response.
They’re likely to go higher now that Abbot has screwed Texas.
@Whicker
I’m only having trouble with your uninformed opinions.
Or maybe people just dont want leftists ruining another state?
@Ghost 3Delta So the ends justifies the means. Typical right winger. No scruples.
They fit every description under the sun!!!!
He slammed Racism right in your FACE .
If I were in the Texas legislature, I’d happily comply and avoid the term “racism”.
And I’d just call it out using the term “bigotry”.
Wouldn’t want to hurt the GQP’s widdle fee-fees….
Scientists say looney lefties will run out of things to call “racist” by 2023. I wonder why Demokkkrats are against election integrity… And why do Demokkkrats think American citizens can’t get an ID? NYC will require vaccine ID to eat indoors, but requiring ID to vote for the most powerful person on Earth is…”racist”? Looney lefty logic.
@Max Preston secure the election
@Cid Sapient Texas already has the strictest election laws in the entire country. The processes does not need to be made even more needlessly difficult. Unless of course, your goal is to disenfranchise minorities.
@Max Preston “Texas already has the strictest election laws in the entire country.”
no they dont…
“The processes does not need to be made even more needlessly difficult.”
yes it does
its a fkn election for the president
its not supposed to be convenient cuz ur fkn lazy
what u say is needless is voter ID…
or poll workers being able to hand out gifts to ppl in line
or removed drop boxes that existed during a pandemic that are no longer needed
“Unless of course, your goal is to disenfranchise minorities.”
they are minorities not invalids
but ur obviously a racist and a liar
Texas shouldnt allow leftists to vote at all.
Rev. Al looking good! Thankfully for all the work he does. I wish I could be their to march!
These methods are one of the reasons why I’m ashamed to be from this state that lost all civility decades ago. Their crookedness is now on full display!
Yep the crookedness hopped on a plane not to long ago.
@Bowser Lamont Shut up
@king Did your feelings get hurt. ahhhh
The introduction of the first Communist State! Good Luck Texas.
Open season on leftists lol
Theyll end up like Garrett Foster.🤣
The efforts by the bigots in this state are now on full display, one more reason why I’m ashamed to be from Texas.
@JK F1 that was way thist! Take another one off the list.
@Teena Selman tuna smellman?
@Karl Todd I don’t think that is fox propaganda I’m not a democrat or a republican I always vote for who does the best job . What I see is a government trying to take control of state voting rights . Hitler did this in 1933 once he did he made it impossible to vote thus controlling the untire country. They also did this in Cuba . I don’t watch fox but I certainly don’t agree with the direction the demarats are pushing this . It could eventually lead to one government you might think that is a good idea however once that right is gone you will never get it back and it could go way south like laws being created that you might not agree to there won’t be any one to stop in . History has taught us that a one government country leads to dictator ship not a good direction to go keep in mind this is why so many people are coming to are country to get out of countries like that america will no longer be a free country
Idc if Leftists cant vote. They earned it after ruining Cali and NY.
@Kurtis Seck lmao 🤣 your literally comparing whats going on right now to Cuba and nazi Germany. And bull sounds like your already down that rabbit hole. Wow people half to get a shot for a deadly virus to go away cry me a river !
I pray with All My Heart that The John Lewis Act Becomes the Law of The Land All Across The United States!!!!🙏🙏💖💖
If it fails, don’t point at Republicans. Point the finger where it belongs. At Democrats. Racist Republicans and Democrats who have other things on their wish list that they prioritize OVER the issue of racism.
@Kermit T. Frog why do Democrats bring up race racism all the time??.
What does that have to do with voting or killing someone. ??
Just like blm its a joke. .
@dreamer—> keep on “dreaming”
@Whicker have u read the bill biden wants to pass on voting rights???
Good luck convincing even one Republican. Lol
*It’s very likely that 2022 will break the “party in the White House loses the midterms” pattern.* The insurrection staged by the Republicans on January 6th has caused their party to suffer greatly… not only in terms of public opinion, but they’ve also lost an enormous number of voters. The GOP has pretty much destroyed themselves. Good riddance.
@Tessmage Tessera That’s the way of today’s GOP. They are in desperation mode right now. They want to try and suppress the minority vote because they know that when people of color (as well as young people) in this country turn out to vote in large numbers, democrats win. The GOP (especially the Trump wing) is trying to seize every opportunity imaginable to try and cheat their way into office before they potentially become an obsolete party. But even with their voter suppression tactics in place, I still predict that they are going to be in for a rude awakening in upcoming elections because of the reasons I stated above. Their suppression efforts are likely going to backfire on them.
I hope your are right.
We can only hope Tessmage
@king DeSantis is a pro-Covid China-loving communist.
The “insurrection” was cleared by the FBI who said there was “scant” evidence that Trump incited it nor that there was some grand conspiracy to take over the Capitol.
Turns out it was mostly peaceful.
we keep asking this question – WHY?
it’s obvious – they DO NOT want black/brown people voting
it’s that simple
Scientists say looney lefties will run out of things to call “racist” by 2023. I wonder why Demokkkrats are against election integrity… And why do Demokkkrats think American citizens can’t get an ID?

@JK F1 election integrity my a$$. Election integrity is fine- Texas trending blue is the problem- hence the racist new Jim Crow voting laws.
@Mo Mo – Tell us these “Jim Crow” voting laws
Yep! Idiots are still waiting for Mike Lindell & Arizona FRAUDitto expose the nonexistent fraud that will justify all these new racist voter suppression laws
Get tf out of Texas then and go ruin some other state.
Too bad there isn’t enough $$$ and people with the courage to move into those gerrymandered red areas😜😜😜😜..the best way to defeat them is to wait til after they draw the gerrymandered lines and then move into those areas…LOL..would be fun to watch if Dems and Independents to trip up Repubs..
I like your ideas. Move to gerrymandering areas.
So leftists arent oppressed?
Who knew…
let;s start auditing the state of Texas’ elections I’d be curious to see if it’s really a red state.
If it is, it won’t be too much like never.
They are doing an audit in Texas. But it’s to verify the fraud that was committed in all fifty states. Be careful what you wish for.
When you have long lines especially in only certain areas, inadequate drop boxes, and difficulties with vote by mail during a pandemic you presumptively have bad government and corrupt officials.
Manchin and sinema are secret Republican’s we know who they are.
I think we should offer to put them in witness protection so they can explain how and by who they have become compromised. They and republican are acting like they are in fear and doing insane things no human with a sliver of a conscious would ever do.
Im so angry on Manchin and sinema, they’re preventing and holding to voting rights bill and let Republicans gerrymander and still the future elections.
