I dunno, seems kinda similar to me

We've literally been over this. Even just one generation ago we had politicians pulling the same shit, saying "oh, you're the racist one for thinking black people are too stupid to get ID's."

Voter ID laws were struck down for a reason, you absolute dumbass. They were originally allowed. Activists and their lawyers had to put in the work to prove in federal lawsuits that not only were the laws incidentally discriminatory, but that the laws also opened doors for further discrimination. North Carolina thought they were being slick when they said that "you're the real racist, you think black people are too dumb to get ID's," and then as soon as the law was passed they abused the situation by relocating DLD's to districts that voted Republican.

This isn't even a matter of armchair theory, we literally have it on the books how voter ID laws are almost invariably used to disenfranchise certain types of voters. And yet, just one generation later, we have fucktards like you pretending that it's a strictly clinical matter and that liberals are the real racists.
