1. wow - that is one deafening dog whistle!

they don't even pretend any more.

2. Like that lawyer from Florida who provided people with a Georgia address?

3. The autocrat party doesn't even bother to hide their cheating.

Maybe Purdue can get DeJoy to close the post offices in GA too.

4. Steve Schmidt called out these people by their proper name:

“Anti-Democracy Fascists and Racists.”

28. + agree. And Disenfranchisers and Suppressionists. nt

32. I ran across an interesting term in an article ...

... about the GOP: Herrenvolk Democracy.

[Hortensis]

42. Interesting, but I don't think a national ethnocracy could be established here.

As it is, just for one thought that popped up, the right's been fully engaged in saving their nation from Satan and his socialist minions, but I've been wondering how many more years that'll hold off backlash on the Protestant right against Catholics, highlighted with seven on SCOTUS alone (including Gorsuch raised Catholic -- they wouldn't care). And now we're going to have a Catholic president too, and if the immigrants they fear aren't Muslim, they're brown-skinned Catholics, or so it seems.

And evangelicalism alone is going through a great deal of trauma and disruption. That may trigger passionate evangelical conservatives to be much less accepting of the Catholic Church's infiltration of evangelical sects, and vice versa. It was a welcome coming together against the enormous threats from the evil left, but also ready made for RW paranoia and conspiracy theories. And dredging up of ancient, very bloody hostilities.

5. Amazingly stupid to actually use the word "segregate" in his tweet.

I hope the Democrats jump all over this and blast it everywhere.

They're reverting to the old South tactics of segregation. Unbelievable.

[FSogol]

17. That was a dog whistle and it was intentional. n/t

[yellowdogintexas]

50. come on that was definitely a foghorn, not a dog whistle

or maybe it was an air raid siren or a storm warning

18. Was it Margaret of Margaret and Helen who coined "whistleass"?

[Cirque du So-What]

21. Sounds likely

It was used to describe Bush the Lesser, as I recall.

22. Yes.

12. I am in Iowa and even I heard that one

"Two, four, six, eight
We are gonna segregate"

[DallasNE]

13. Where Is The Basis For Making Those Provisional Ballots

There must be a deficiency in order for that to happen and Perdue provides none.

[klook]

34. As a Georgia voter, I'm wondering the same damn thing.

Provisional ballots only come into play when there’s a question about the ballot or the voter’s credentials. Trying to force a provisional ballot for anyone registering within two months of the runoff is complete bullshit. (This would immediately put all newly registered just-turned-18 voters into a second-class category, among other things.) I hope @marceelias is on the case.

[NBachers]

14. He can make free axe handle pins available to all Purdue voters.

“Wear ‘em with pride!”

[TNNurse]

15. Wow, that is not even subtle.

He knew his audience.

[FakeNoose]

16. I guess he's telling us that none of his fans

... have recently registered to vote. Okay Dave!

19. dave'y

boy , we sure know by now what to expect out of pecker head repuck's now !! insider trading anybody ?

[DFW]

20. The Republican number crunchers know as well as we do

The more people are allowed to vote, the less they win.

[stillcool]

23. they used the term 'segregate the ballots'

in PA, as it pertained to late arriving ballots. It was the one law suit that I think the Trumpee's won. The ballots were 'segregated' and later counted.

[Laelth]

40. iirc ...

That case was dismissed as moot because the PA SoS had already ordered that late-arriving ballots had to be kept separate from timely ballots. In other words, the Republicans were already getting the relief that their lawsuit requested. As such, case dismissed ... nothing for the Court to do.

The single lawsuit that the Republicans won was the difference between 10 ft. and 6 ft. for observers. That temporary “victory” was overturned at the appellate level as too cumbersome and impractical to apply statewide.

24. Nothing turns on a Republican

......more than a dogwhistle.

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. Could it be that he thinks this particular group of voters might have a characteristic in common?

That they just might not be leaning to giving their votes to an R-ancid candidate? Well, you can't really blame him, can you?

For thinking that, I mean. For throwing up roadblocks in front of new voters? F him and everyone that looks like him.

27. "segregate" 4th word

"We're trying to segregate all the people ....".

[PurgedVoter]

29. Perdue has already forsworn his constitutional duties. He should not be seated in any case.

Perdue has already forsworn his constitutional duties. He should not be seated in any case. By doing this he has declared himself an enemy of the constitution and to our democracy.

[Roc2020]

30. If the early voting here in GA

is any indication Purdue has a right to be nervous and desperate. And it's showing

[LaMouffette]

31. It's time to "segregate" Perdue from his Senate seat.

Go, Georgia Dems! Kick some fascist ass!

[Cha]

33. Chicken Asshole perdue.

[IronLionZion]

36. "Segregate" might increase turnout on our side

considering how many liberals would like to reject that sort of thing while conservatives want to take us backwards. Based on turnout for early voting, I hope we see a nice blue wave washing over these racists so Dems can take the Senate.

[58Sunliner]

37. Not surprising. They wanted updated voter rolls for a reason. S/b illegal.

Then there was this remark that Perdue made about his Democratic rival Ossoff: “I’m running against a guy who worked directly for the Chinese Communist Party in China.” Ossoff has a media company that made 2 investigations that were broadcast in Hong Kong.
Perdue on the stump, "was preceded by his cousin, Agricultural Secretary Sonny Perdue, who implored Republicans to “vote early and often” .

43. "Segregate"

Nice word choice fool

[rocktivity]

44. But technically, the 2020 Georgia senatorial election DIDN'T take place

THAT'S why they're doing it over -- why SHOULDN'T any Georgian who is qualified to vote in it be able to?

[quakerboy]

46. There was a pretense?

Is there anyone who is not aware of the situation? If you dont have the support of the people, but you are determined to hold power, you have to find a way to change the electorate

[Hekate]

49. Ooooo, "segregate" is it? Hmmm, did your daddy & grandaddy use that word in your hearing...

...when you were but a tot?
