I do appreciate how they’re just openly playing their hand now. Makes the battle against fascism very clear cut and plain to see. They’re relying on the news-bubbling and conspiratorial leanings of their base to carry them through, but they don’t have the numbers.
We do. Just have to get them to the polls.
I agree. The Republicans have really let the mask drop and shown who they really are. Biden wasn’t lying when he said democracy was on the ballot this year.
I’m not a lawyer, but it is hard to tell from reading that if it means if you mark off one of the numbers it applies, or if you have to have 2 of 3 or what, but since it’s so vague, and most of the laws I’ve seen in that format if one point applies it all applies, I cannot in good faith argue that it won’t be used to target Hispanic people.
Right. That’s the point. Keep the law vague for selective enforcement
Point 2 specifies “and”, but it’s still super racist. Apparently white people who join street gangs and perform gang-related crimes aren’t terrorists, only Hispanics are.
So any business that hires Hispanic workers is now aiding and abetting known terrorists. I’d put $10 down that JJ or his relatives have such a business.
I’d even be fairly certain that if he changed the language to “being in the US illegally” that he or someone close to him would still be culpable.
I hope the Republican Hispanics in Florida hear about this.
Or Texas…
