After N.C. Court ruling

[NCDem777]

12. When a naughty child

repeatedly steals toys from other kids, you don't "explain" why stealing is wrong. If explaining worked, they wouldn't have stolen in the first place. You take away their toys. By learning how it feels, they learn stealing is wrong.

We've tried to explain why voter suppression wrong to the GOP elected officials and average GOP voters. Evidence indicates that explaining does not work.

They need a demonstration done to them. Let them deal with long lines for a few elections. Let them deal with a lack of machines for a few elections. Let them deal with all the nonsense that people in the cities have dealt with. Not for long-term, just long enough for a reality check. By learning how voter suppression feels, they learn that it is wrong.

After getting the picture, they'll be inclined to come to the table. Remember: Conservatives, especially of the white variety, do not give a shit about anything until it hurts them personally.

So make it hurt them personally.
