... unless you were black or native or female, anyway. US has something of a mythos about the FFs, but the reality of it was that most of them were pretty shit people and the constitution reflected that. Clawing our way to one person, one vote, is still an ongoing process made that much harder by the fucking GOP in particular

Do the Democrats want to lose control of Congress? Because that's how you lose control of Congress.

Tucker is getting worse by the day, the other day he was equating vote dillution with white replacement

I'm pretty sure he mentioned how it effected black people, too. Also the lack of Hispanic support for illegal immigration. Tucker has previously mentioned how Trump got ~28% of the Latino vote. How 2nd and 3rd gen immigrants are less reliably Democrat, so they need a constant stream with a pathway to citizenship. There's more there than just "white replacement".

Is it? Iirc support's not terrible among likely D voters, and if it happened fast enough, it might be able to stop a conservative hack SC from further fucking with voting rights and protections.

Not particularly likely to happen, in any case, unfortunately. It'd be a good thing even if it didn't actually stack the court with judges worth a shit.

I had a good laugh at the notion that you need to prevent automatic weapons entering the country but whatever Im out.

Two-way traffic... unregistered weapons anywhere is bad.

You may not want anyone having weapons anywhere, but who has a solution that everyone will accept?

Tucker's rhetoric is very clearly white supremacist, the KKK think so, and his disclaimers and attempts to cloak it don't change that.

There's more attributable to wanting to win elections and maintain conservatism than wanting racial purity. I doubt you follow what guests he has on his show on a regular basis, and instead base your opinion on whatever liberal media says about him.

Supremacy of Christianity, restricting the voting rights of demographics they don't like, harsher prison sentences, treating immigrants like criminals, neutering the Federal government so they can't interfere in how each state wants to deprive people of their federally guaranteed rights, further expanding the police and prison state, corporate money in politics.....

You're right. There's SO MUCH MORE to it than just racial purity.

You know, "I'm not a racist, I just say racist things to get the votes of racists" is not exactly a good defense.

You're flat-out wrong on a number of those. I'll grant the Christianity, obviously. He's strictly against corporate money in politics, and has called even Republicans out on it. The Federal government has been growing steadily bigger, not smaller. (1st and 2nd amendments are federally guaranteed rights, aren't they?) He goes on about how laws are applied unequally for those with power and those without. (Blaming Biden for the 1994 crime bill, praising Trump for the First Step Act.) The irony of companies pulling out of Georgia, hurting those communities, and then moving to Colorado and Louisiana (which have stricter voting regulations.)

I could debate the rest, but it's really not worth the effort.

[nenjin]

I don't know which person you're talking about. I was responding to the general Evangelical Conservative Republican platform, which includes all the things I stated and more.
