    Jeet Heer Retweeted Matthew Sitman

    Any discussion of the new Georgia law has to include the fact that just a few months ago the President of the United States tried to pressure local officials to overturn the election, stirred up mobs to intimidate congress & state officials etc. That's at root of anxiety.https://twitter.com/MatthewSitman/status/1378771164034691083 …

    I’m a genius who thinks it’s totally normal and not at all worrisome that the GA bill gives the Republican general assembly the power to do whatever they want administering elections https://www.vox.com/22352112/georgia-voting-sb-202-explained … pic.twitter.com/460E1oiiUH

        There's a weird amnesiac empiricism in American mainstream media where issues like voter laws are discussed decontextualized from very recent history that explains what the stakes are and what is driving this. As if Georgia law is orthogonal to coup attempt.

        it's more bipartisan though to pretend we don't know anything about any actor and we pledge to completely ignore the vast record of actual events in complete solipsist dedication

        I mean anything else is a slippery slope to pointing out that (*checks notes*) one side is empirically more fascist than the other.

        ... as well as the fact that Georgia Republicans were perfectly fine with election laws that historically ensured their perpetual rule, until suddenly these laws no longer did. Only then did the Georgia GOP abruptly decide they needed to pull the emergency break, hard and fast!

        We’ve had voter ID requirements here in GA since 2006, but just for in person voting. NOW it is essential for “election security” that the requirement be extended to absentee voting. Whatever.

        Or that Republicans spent all of December talking about how they felt too many black people had voted and they needed to ‘fix’ that or they’d never win again...

        The GOP caused America to change forever after the 2020 election as a result of the former guy relentlessly intimidating election officials in the states where he lost. Those officials didn’t have the power to change votes. In GA, now they do. Why even bother to vote?

        So you're saying writers of our Constitution fukked up by allowing states to control elections?
