re: #399 Don’t Blame Me, I Voted for Kodos

I fully expect that the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 (and subsequent amendments) and Voting Rights Act of 1965 will both come before a repeal vote in Congress during this session, and Republicans will strip 100 years of progress from minorities in a few short days’ time.

Keep in mind that things like redlining, fair housing, gerrymandering, literacy tests, and the like are NOT explicitly banned via the Constitution, but by legislative action. States weren’t able to overturn these due to the Supremacy clause, however they can be undone at the federal level by a simple majority vote.

Again, it’s part of the GOP suicide pact. They want to permanently install a tyrannical dictatorship and will probably get it.

The only outcome from this tyranny may not come with elections, I’m afraid. The GOP is daring for us to rebel against them, and those are never peaceful.
