    Yes, of course. And it’s the same as outright calling people liars to demand they show ID. And if only certain races don’t have ID, then it’s the same as calling their entire race liars. And that’s really racist. :rolleyes: :Wink

    Their arguments are sound in a Dem sort of way. It probably is expensive to get a fake ID to vote fraudulently. And isn’t it racist to make it difficult for certain people of certain races to vote fraudulently? :Wink

    NO - it is NOT racist -
    Here is a list of States/Commonwealths that require ID

    and in several S/C - an id will be issued free.
    Also a drivers license is NOT the only acceptable form of ID

    And its not just voting that you need an ID

    Here is a list of 22 activities that you need an ID for
    and I am sure there are many more!

    Most if not all stores require that you wear shoes inside their place of business
    but I have never heard anyone complaint they cant go into a store because they have no shoes.

    In New York State - a non-drivers ID is about $10 (some may qualify for reduced or free ID) A pack of cancer sticks cost $10. Anyone can afford an ID.

    Yes, of course the entire “racist” argument is absolute nonsense, the motive behind it being to promote fraudulent voting, as well as attempt to discredit those with good sense.

    The Dem power machines behind the “racist” nonsense have more than enough resources to make sure anyone who needs an ID can get one easily.

    But listening to people who blindly believe such lies pathetically repeat them is still rather sad, painful.

    and the more you tell lies - the easier it is for people to believe it.

    Assumed reputation plays a large role in this. Supposedly trustworthy sources get the benefit of the doubt. Or worse, in many people’s minds, they can do no serious wrong.

    One of the biggest believed lies is that the media is largely trustworthy, especially mainstream, legacy media. There is no real basis for such a belief. In fact it is decidedly un-American.

    Yet they have managed to develop this false reputation based on the equally false assumption that they play a fundamental role in ferreting out truth, as though they themselves could have no bias, no other agenda.
