You mean the research I do? I can't fix your world view nor would I try to do that. It's just sad to see people who won't take the time to actually look at what's happening in our country today. They will be the first to go "What happened to the United States?"

If those truckloads were from non-citizens (no proof) or covered in Chinese bamboo fibers (no proof) or dead people (no to very little proof) or people voting in multiple elections (no proof). Hmm, there seems to be a trend here. All the things claimed to be done and that laws need to be passed to prevent, and there is NO proof after hundreds of millions of dollars were donated to investigate them.
Give us a break. Of course there are laws/rules/regulations governing the voting process and rightfully so. Without them the voting process would be chaos. Think about it in this way. EVERY state has statute of limitations outlining the time frame in which to file a lawsuit. Is that suppression too? What would you say if 500,000 votes came in tomorrow for Trump in one of the swing states? Just like the rest of us, you would say it's too late. It would have nothing to do with voter suppression.

The rules governing peoples' right to vote are actually quite simple. Frankly, if someone can't figure out the voting rules then maybe they shouldn't be voting. The right to vote is a sacred duty. Proper rules have to be in place so the public has little to no cause to suspect voter fraud.

Default A few thoughts & 3 questions in response to Jerry. to

The first is that the very idea of race is not based on biology or science of any kind. There's nothing about the physiology of humans that neatly divides humanity into categories like "white", "black", "Asian", etc. The attempts to divide people into these categories were done societally, not scientifically.

The second idea is that American history shows us that governments put in place in the Americas by European settlers were and continue to be racist in nature. To steal land away from the indigenous people, governments put into place laws that made those peoples have fewer or any rights and encouraged the suppression of those peoples. Prior to the industrial revolution, manual labor was vital and slave labor was cheaper than paid labor, so laws were put into place to allow kidnapping, torturing and enslaving peoples from other countries, especially Africa. Laws were put into place over time to exclude Asians. During World War II, people of Japanese heritage were robbed of their properties and imprisoned while people of German heritage were not. Even after the emancipation of enslaved people in America, voting rights were suppressed and continue to be so to this day.

Critical race theory doesn't paint an artificially pretty picture of American history or governance. If you read history deeply, however, it is probably a more accurate picture. Does this divide people? Possibly. Some people are averse to learning unpleasant truths. I've always thought that true patriotism wasn't blindly loving ones country, right or wrong but rather wanting the best for and out of ones country, realizing when ones country was wrong or doing wrong and changing it for the better even if that involves discomfort and hard work.

America isn't perfect and never was. It gets better over time, despite occasional backsliding. I hope it continues to get better and better in the future. Pretending we are and have been perfect won't help us get there.

But that's just my opinion.

Unfortunately, slavery has gone on since the beginning of time. Read Bible, Torah & Quaran.

Today, due to policies at the border or lack of, we have created a system of indentured servants, which is ignored.

Have you looked at actual CRT materials, or investigated the marzists founders of CRT? If not, please do.

How are voters suppressed today? Answer carefully, as even the NYT gave Pres Biden 4 pinnochios on this claim

The problem is the radicalism of many, if not most, educators. This has been a growing problem since the late 60's.

So, ONLY blacks and browns are affected by "gerrymandering?" And only blacks and browns stand in long lines to vote? Are you suggesting that blacks and browns are too ignorant to use early voting? Sounds a bit racist to me.

Our Governor says it best.

Florida’s education system exists to create opportunity for our children. Critical Race Theory teaches kids to hate our country and to hate each other. It is state-sanctioned racism and has no place in Florida schools.

Funny I bet you have hundreds of products made by child slave labor from countries who say America is racist and has to end. More funny the people in America who still want slaves, who voted against ending slavery, and the voting rights of 1964 are in power today by fraud.

We should all understand the difference between "equality" and "equity" as taught by the hustlers pushing CRT in our schools. It's really a scary concept. They decry evidence and logic-based thinking and rely on anecdotal evidence and "storytelling". Google the "Student Equity Ambassador Program" at Loudon schools in Virginia. White kids need not apply.
