Of course it didn't form out of nowhere. Conservative leadership has been working hard for decades instilling fear and hate into their base, to the point where they would rather hurt black and brown skin people than help their own children. See "Young Bucks" and "Welfare Queens" for more information.

See the previous post. It explains how systemic racism makes it harder for black people to travel on public transit than white people. Government offices are placed to make access easy for white people. And the racists in public office, and there are lot in the USA, particularly the South, must take special pleasure in closing down a government office in a black neighbourhood. That's the way systemic racism works. So sure, black people can get to the public office. But extra hurdles mean fewer people make it. Any decent statistician can take the demographics and tell you exactly how many people you need to discourage in any given area to swing an election, and what sort of obstacles would discourage the required number of people. And that is exactly what the laws in each area are designed to do. .

WTF, you think systemic racism is "a conspiracy theory"? That's messed up, especially when everyone has access to the internet. Use your brain for Christ sake, it's all about discouraging one person here, and two people there. Surely you noticed that lots of elections are decided by very thin margins? So you just need to discourage enough people to swing the election in your favour. Here's an article from Rice University that covers racism in public transit. They use lots of data, feel free to dispute it. https://kinder.rice.edu/urbanedge/2020/08/24/transportation-racism-has-shaped-public-transit-america-inequalities

Well DUH! You really think they should have know everything about covid from day 1, without any research at all? You really think they should have know everything about vaccines that hadn't been developed yet? That's the way science works, the goalposts are constantly moving as new information comes in, as new hypothesis are tested. That's what makes science so powerful. The people you want to be careful of are those who get an idea into their head, and then no amount of new information or data can change their opinion. They're the real danger to our society.
