The idea is you are supposed to assume that any attempt to hold people accountable at the polls is an intent to suppress the "black vote".
There were historical attempts to supposedly suppress the vote, such as poll taxes or tests. And any attempt to enforce accountability is treated as similar.
The sad part is that it works. Many in the conservative side are heavily taught the golden rule, and that's partially why they run for cover every time the name-calling comes out. Nobody wants to be seen as "mean" or judgemental. But the left is not playing by the same rules.
I think to a point it is getting better, but we have a long way to go.
