Republicans have blasted criticism of their election policies as the latest issue in the so-called culture wars.
“Cancel culture and woke political activists are coming for every aspect of your life, sports included,” Republican Gov. Brian Kemp said in a statement Friday after Major League Baseball announced it would move the All-Star Game out of Atlanta in protest of the state’s law.
When the mlb decided to move they 2021 all-star game out of Atlanta, the backlash was quick.
The MLB move was met with immediate backlash by GOP lawmakers, with several proposing retribution against the league.
“In light of MLB ‘s stance to undermine election integrity laws, I have instructed my staff to begin drafting legislation to remove Major League Baseball’s federal antitrust exception,” South Carolina Rep. Jeff Duncan wrote, adding that “any organization that abuses its power to oppose secure elections deserves increased scrutiny under the law.”
Other corporations like coca-cola and delta have also jumped into politics, stating they are against Georgia’s election integrity laws, on the misguided lies
“(citizens) are fed up with corporations that don’t share our values trying to dictate public policy,”
That includes corporations like face-book, goo-gle, twit-ter, legacy media, etc.
Sen. Mike Lee of Utah similarly said it was “time for the federal government to stop granting special privileges to specific, favored corporations—especially those that punish their political opponents.”
Correct. You are either a for-profit corporation or you are a political organization that must face the same rules as other political organizations must follow.
Poll: Sixty-nine percent of black voters and 75% overall support voter ID laws
So the vast majority support voter ID? Why are all those opposed to voter ID?
Broken down by party, 60% of Democrats support showing an ID to vote compared to 89% of Republicans.
So even the majority of Dems also support voter ID?
“Many Americans do not have one of the forms of identification states acceptable for voting,” the American Civil Liberties Union’s website says about its opposition to voter ID laws. “These voters are disproportionately low-income, racial and ethnic minorities, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Such voters more frequently have difficulty obtaining ID, because they cannot afford or cannot obtain the underlying documents that are a prerequisite to obtaining government-issued photo ID card.”
Supporters of voter ID disagree, citing studies that show no suppression of voter turnout in areas where a photo ID is necessary to vote while also taking issue with the insinuation that minorities struggle to acquire identification.
“You know what’s racist? Assuming because I’m black that ‘I just don’t have the capability of getting an I-D,’” Republican Rep. Burgess Owens, a black man, said about voter ID laws recently. “Disclaimer: We are capable of getting and I-D (and even using the internet!)”
Summary:
Sports leagues stay with sports! Do not do politics.
Corporations stay with making products/selling to customers. Do not do politics.
Legacy media return to reporting news in an unbiased way. Do not stay being a mouthpiece/propaganda outlet.
