The only way I can see Trump getting away with his Midterm bullsh*t is if America sleeps through it

[Miles Archer]

The so-called "SAVE" act...having to produce a copy of your birth certificate to prove citizenship, among other "requirements"...may not seem like a big deal.

A lot of people don't have a copy of their birth certificate, and even if they have one, they most likely don't carry it with them at all times.

That means that if people don't pay attention, and this bullshit becomes law, and they show up without a birth certificate and no time to get one in time to vote, Trump gets what he wants...disenfranchised, disqualified voters, shitcanned over a technicality.

America should be FRANTIC right now, FURIOUS over what Trump is planning and discussing out loud, but I'm just not seeing it.

1. I could not agree more... BUT...

doesn't this mostly affect women? We are the ones who normally take our husband's last name at marriage, meaning that we won't be able to prove we are who we say we are at the ballot box. At least, not to the satisfaction of the Nazi shitheads in the Trump administration.

4. I think this is by design

I believe this is targeted to disadvantage women and minority voters.

2. Just one of

Many paper cuts to bleed us out. Slice by slice. Plug one hole as another spurts blood.

3. America sleeping through it has been the theme of the past decade-plus, so the outlook is grim.

Just 15 months ago the plurality of American voters, 90 million strong, didn't bother to take the simple steps to avoid the shit that has been happening for the past ~year. I have no higher expectations of that lot nine months hence, least of all with higher barriers to navigate.

5. Well said

I think there are a few people waking up now, after all this shit, but will it be enough?
