It's time for Republicans to take back the title of fighting for minorities. Democrats managed to convince everyone that the parties somehow switched and minorities should vote for Democrats. We would never lose another election again if we only did a better job communicating minorities how our policies beneift them. We shouldn't ever cater our policies to any one group but only explain how our policies affect and benefit them. Republicans have done a shit job at doing this. I don't want to even call myself a Republican but that's what it is.

It's not so much an inability to communicate the benefits as it is a matter of immediate vs delayed gratification.
Republican policies operate on the principle of providing everyone the opportunity to pull themselves up and dig themselves out of poverty. Work upfront for reward at some point down the road.
Democrat policies operate on the principle of "vote for me and I'll give you 'free' money right now." Immediate short term reward in exchange for enslaving yourself to them, with the end result that things only keep getting worse as those policies bleed opportunities away.
The former is always going to be a tougher sell than the latter when dealing with lazy or short-sighted people.
I partially agree with you, but equality means little without equity. Democrat policy tries to treat that "bridge", so to say, but to no avail.
This is an example I remember reading from a while back. There was black and white segregation in Baltimore, and as a result, black people were put in substandard housing. Many of these houses contained lead paint. Lead causes neurological problems when ingested, or when dust containing lead is inhaled. This was the cause of a black man victim of police brutality a few years back. I'll look it up for you if you're interested in doing some reading yourself.
My point is, everyone should be responsible for themselves, and pull themselves up by their bootstraps, but people should not be responsible for the acts of their ancestors, or others', and they should not be victim of historic circumstance. It's unfair to be held back by things you can't even control. That's not self-responsibility.
Hate to say it, but at this point it's simply too late. Voter ID needed to be a priority like 2 years ago for it to have any chance of actually making an impact on the 2020 election. Most DMVs are either still closed or just barely opening back up now. The backlog of their regular workload is going to take months to clear, let alone trying to process more than a hundred million voter ID requests within the next 5 months.
My assumption was that a Voter ID would in some way be different than a regular ID. If we're just going to go with regular IDs, well...plenty of illegals have found ways to get them.
You're all making good points about illegals having DLs. Fair. But in that case state agencies like the DMV being backed up are illegal. If you want federal ID, everyone can use their passport. It's easy enough to get one.
Would be funny for Trump to troll them and say "ok lets have a vaccination photo ID card and you've got to present it to vote because after all we want everyone to be safe"
The irony is that saying that voter ID is racist is, in itself, racist, as it assumes African-American people don't have IDs or can't get them or won't get them. The Left is honestly insanely, openly racist, and nothing else drives me as wild as that.

Great points, thanks for your reply.

legal minorities
Funny that the Democrats once invented the act of "lynching," and now.... well....
Ironic.
They will be asking for an ID before they administer the test.
So you won't be able to buy food without an ID now? Clearly they want all those poor people to starve, the racists!

This is assuming people don't already have state issued IDs. Do you know a single person who doesn't have a state issued ID?

Some states hand them out like candy, then auto register people to vote. With NO validation of citizenship.

Passports cost money though. I don't think you should have to pay for something that is mandated from the government
I know a bunch of illegals in NY and CA have licenses....
According to most Democrats no black k people have Id's and aren't smart enough to figure out how to get one
LOL; thanks for blanking out the apostrophe. :D
You know what's next? If you want to vote, you need to show your State Certified Vaccination ID. But you don't need this if you vote by mail.
Would be funny for Trump to troll them and say "ok lets have a vaccination photo ID card and you've got to present it to vote because after all we want everyone to be safe"
It's alright just wait until an African American has to carry any type of documents to go outside or get a job.
That shit will be dropped so fast.
You lost them at job
I find it completely normal that the party of slavery, Jim Crow & affirmative action thinks brown people are too stupid to obtain ID.
It's who they are.
Pointing out the hypocrisy of the left is inadequate because they don’t care about being consistent. They want to win by any means necessary.
"Voter IDs are racist because it stops undocumented migrants from influencing our elections." - Democrats who when rabid during the Russia Hoax
There is no such thing as undocumented migrants. The technical terminology is Criminal Aliens.
The irony is that saying that voter ID is racist is, in itself, racist, as it assumes African-American people don't have IDs or can't get them or won't get them. The Left is honestly insanely, openly racist, and nothing else drives me as wild as that.
Make this a requirement to vote and see how fast democrats drop this stupid idea.
