I read the entire article, and all of those shenanigans are being passed in red states, which overwhelmingly vote republican anyway. They disallowed the use of college ID as voter ID in Idaho, but that’s completely moot – Idaho was never going to vote blue anyway.
They’re trying to prevent the oncoming wave of minority and young people that vote overwhelming blue. If motivated enough they’ll swing states like Georgia and Arizona.
From AZ, I never vote red. But I still try to research my candidates. We just swung blue I hope we don’t go back. But we very possibly could. The constant feed of brain rot on the TVs at the office I work at is insane and its a primary source of this polarization we see today. They just listen to heads all day that spew nothing but hate. I turn the TVs off with my flipper zero as I pass by.
I live in Idaho, the Boise area is very blue, and I honestly think we could swing the state if the mormon population could be convinced to stop supporting hateful people like trump. I’m exmormon and even though I really don’t like the church they generally teach tolerance and love, even if its “muttering about sins and shit under your breath” kind of love. Romney is a good example of mormons who have a breaking point with the modern GOP (so is my mother, who is mormon and votes blue) and I hope more reach it this election. It’s a long shot but its never impossible.
I’m exmormon (41 years a member) and I think you live in a bubble. I believe over 75% or more of mormons are Trump MAGA cultists who don’t put their money where there mouth is, and look at love and compassion towards their own cult members as totally different than doing the same with politics. Fuck Mormons. The are one of the most hypocritical groups around.
At my previous job during the 2016 election I had an employee under me that was a Mormon. She was an absolutely insane and very hateful person. Took a lot of glee in the suffering of others. MAGA Trump voter.
Well I’m certainly in a unique spot with my mom, and she is involved in a lot of groups where mormon or exmormon parents call for more lgbtq acceptance and equality, so fair point. I suppose I just wish they’d follow their own teachings rather than be so cruel while claiming its all about love.

That’s like saying, “Democrats never win here, let’s just ban their party entirely.”
