And you would never know that From the national media coverage you hear from the national media coverage is that this is jim. Crow voting rights advocates on a boycott. They want to boycott of coca cola unless coca cola comes out and expressly opposes the idea requirements for mail in ballots. Something supported by majority of people bishop. Reginald jackson of the piscopo district said if coca-cola was black and brown people to drink their product. Then they must speak up when our rights our lives and our democracy as we know it are under attack. We will speak with our wallets. This past summer coke. Another corporation said they needed to speak out against racism but been mainly quiet about this. How is it racist to make every single person black white hispanic asian you name. It put their driver's license number on their absentee ballot. In lieu of a signature match. How was that racist. You have to have one.

I think you should get rid of drop boxes. I i don't think you should have drop boxes as the wall street journal accurately points out drop boxes elite exist because we're a global pandemic last year. Get rid of the dropbox now. I'll let you should have him. But the legislature actually is willing to allow drop boxes in non pandemic years that is an expansion of the ability to drop off your ballot. They require you when you show up when you show up to vote. You gotta have a photo. Id if you go to early voting you gotta have a photo id adding to. The absentee ballot makes a whole lot of sense. But this is. This is where we are right now. Everything is racist. If the left doesn't like it it's racist the republicans they don't want to support. Hr would it's racist. They don't want to support the equality act. It's homophobic everything is about making it look like the republicans are haters. The you know what.

I hear more and more from people who are not light who think the left is out of their mind on this stuff increasingly the hysterics on the left. Say everything is racist. Everything is homophobic. Everything is transphobic. Meanwhile the overwhelming majority of americans black white red yellow black and white regardless of ethnicity or gender. Think the the whole thing is nonsense that this transgender movement is crazy. The left screaming racism about everything is crazy. The whole idea that we need to de-fund police officers is crazy.
