3. How do you begin to respond to this kind of nonsense?

The level of denial leaves a person apoplectic
How do you respond to people who act as though adherence to the concepts of reality and history were optional,
or that these are concepts which can be defined by one's own subjective belief system -- no matter how warped?

"States Rights" -- the code word for Jim Crow and legalized racism -- was the reason why we had to enact
FEDERAL LAWS to protect voter rights.

Is there a person alive who believes this bullshit is "justice" under the laws of our Constitution?
Does anyone who is not delusional, in a total psychotic state, truly believe that Alabama and Mississippi would
lift a finger to enforce any law that protects minority voters?
Is there a person in the country who has not seen the movie "Mississippi Burning"?

The damage caused by the SCOTUS in the last 10 years has erased 80 years of progress for the civil rights movement.
They have undermined every law designed to protect any underclass of citizens from being oppressed.
Progress for equal rights is always arduously slow, while regression seems to happen in a flash.
They have taken the country so far backwards that it would take another 80 years just to get back to where we were
before all this Trumpian, MAGA, dystopian madness began.

Their voter-protection laws are racist.
Their immigration policies are racist.
Their foreign policy is racist.
Their for-profit prisons are racist.
Their Federal Agencies, like ICE and DHS, are racist.
Their echo-chambers and news outlets are racist.
Their Supreme Court is racist.
Their political rhetoric is racist.
Their hatred towards all things "Obama" is racist.
Their beloved, fearless, cult-leader is a blatant and unabashed racist. (and sexist)
Even their brand of religion is racist!
