  • Yes and no. The issue is really with the difficulty and time it takes to get these ids. Not to mention the expense. The poorer a person is, the less likely they are to have the correct id. And make no mistake, the Republicans know this, and they know that poor people favor democrats. Same with mail in voters. So their effort to make this rule is not one of common sense, but stratrgic value. They are just trying to put up obstacles that making voting hardrr for people who don’t vote from them.

    And really, what should be addressed is the difficulty of getting id. But noone wants to pay for that. This causes some people to have to travel significant distances on our meager public transit system which can take many hours to go 15 miles. And again, the poorer a person is, the less likely they are to have a car to drive, or the money to uber, or the time away from work to get to these places and even attempt to get the id.

  • The people spending long hours working to challenge his illegal efforts in court are who is stopping him. And they are winning, a lot. But courts take time, so trump uses the gap to cause chaos and slip in a few illegal actions.

    Thanks to them, in the long term trumps presidency will cost many X more then any savings it is claiming. There will be tons of payouts to federal employees, legal expenses, and the cost of putting back together what he has damaged or destroyed.

    All that aside, I don’t here people saying don’t worry. I see them saying that his team and his efforts are incompetent attempts to garner attention. Essentially they are just saying that this crew is idiots.
