Do you understand the irony of that comment, coming in a patronizing
post by you?

You are neck deep in identity politics, playing the race card
constantly.

Have you been called an ultra leftist reality denier?

The term "voter suppression" begs the question.  You should know more
logic than that.

OIC.  "People of color" are going to take over, and consign the GOP to
oblivion.

In the first place, the youngest cohort of white voters went for Trump
in 2020.

In the second place, about 30% of Latino voters went from Trump, and
the number will increase as Latinos become more assimilated.

Further, the black population is growing slowly, and black fertility
is decreasing.

What Trump has done is make the GOP clearly the party that opposed
arrogant elites.  Like the tech giants that censor content they don't
like.

I'm guessing you like Facebook and Twitter banning Trump.

And your time discussing voting in the US has been embarrassing, since
you are attacking US Republicans for:

1.) wanting to ban mail-in voting.
2.) wanting voter ID
3.) wanting to ban ballot harvesting

All of which would make US elections more like Sweden!
