Trump voters motivated by racism may be violating the Constitution. Can they be stopped?

Went back and read the article again, how does this person explain 2008 and all the folks that voted for President Obama solely because of race?

 

Terry Smith, a visiting professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law, offers a different response in his new book, "Whitelash: Unmasking White Grievance at the Ballot Box." Rather than excuse racist voters or try to figure out how to live with their choices, he argues that racist voting is not just immoral, but illegal. The government, Smith says, has the ability, and the responsibility, to address it.

It did occur to me when I first read it that it would b every easy to write a very similar article and focus on say California and its voting patterns and the need for reform.

 

How many times do we see these sort of proposals and the proponents seem to be clueless that using the same logic they would be targeted.

Well when the voters can't be trusted to vote correctly what do you do?

Obviously, impeach them!

The ongoing gaslight. 

 

It's not relevant anymore for the left to psychologically try and get people on their side by presenting superior arguments, but overwhelm them psychologically. This in turn tires them out and is more likely to facilitate obedience and conformity. It's why they try so hard to adopt terms that describe their own actions and project them on others. We've seen all the other examples but the one here is obvious.. not racist to vote for a black guy because he's black, but racist to not vote for a black guy because his views, actions, etc. are incompatible. The attempt is to make people question what racism is, coerce others through gaslighting to adopt the leftist view. 

 

And then throw tantrums and deploy shut down antics when the term is aptly used against them. 😎

I agree, the psychological manipulations seem to be pervasive from the Left.  Sure, we will hear the "both sides" argument, but given the state of the mainstream media today, their connection to the DNC either direct or indirect, and their pushing of false and misleading narratives is becoming much more overt.  Personally, I think the biggest pusher of this manipulation is the Leftist media, they are seeing their influence dwindle with a lot of the population, so we start hearing stories like this, or comments like from Mr. Schiff regarding voter trust.

Lets remember, about the "goat and pony show" impeachment, the "her truth" sham, etc..

 

 

Gas-lite.
