It’s tragic that Barred’s statement below is true. I would modify it slightly to say that the Republican SCOTUS Justices don’t mind if POC who are registered to vote stand outside for hours waiting to vote and do finally get to vote, so long as those votes are effectively meaningless.
Our fukker beat out the other fukkers: Hogsbreath... I mean... Hedge... fuk (never learned what his mother called him), Putin, Netanyahu, Orbán, Kim Jong Un...
