- Yes and no. These voting laws are widely unpopular even among republicans. There's a divide between republican politicians and republican voters on - pmb Apr 12, 15:15 6
  - Maybe, but it isn't the Hillbilly Elegy crowd that the corporations are dancing to on this. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 12, 15:36 1
    - I get your argument, but I don't think they go all in on this if it wasn't for the fact that it's a view shared by the majority of republicans too. - pmb Apr 12, 15:51
  - Saw an interesting graph today that Jim Crow laws took out 30% of white voters at the same time. -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 15:17 3
    - Republicans are perfectly happy to disenfranchise Republicans as long as the get more Democrats. -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 15:51
    - These would likely do the same. Some have expressed concern they might hurt themselves more than they help, but I don't think so. - pmb Apr 12, 15:24
    - The GOP doesn't much like poor white people either. -- nm - . Apr 12, 15:23
- as an aside, I actually defended Winnipeg the other day at work. Prairie solidarity I guess - Reagen Apr 12, 15:13 2
  - What was the context of the defence? "How do people live there?" -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 12, 15:34 1
