Dems Comparing Modern Laws to Jim Crow: Is it Hyperbole, Ignorance, or Dishonesty? PF Whalen
May 13, 2021
Virtually every day we see new examples of our friends on the left overplaying their hands as they engage in wild exaggerations. They told us Donald Trump is a Nazi. (No, he isn’t, because a true Nazi leader would have thrown you in a concentration camp for criticizing him.) They’ve told us if we use the ‘OK’ hand signal then we’re White Supremacists. (No, that’s been a gesture which has been used for over a century indicating “all is well.”) And they accuse us of being science-deniers if we dare to question climate change conclusions or COVID pandemic propaganda. (Actually, we’re simply demanding logic and accountability.) But the most egregious of all modern leftist talking points may be with their practice of labeling any law they don’t like as akin to “Jim Crow.”
Last month, House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC), a man with considerable power and without whose support Joe Biden would not have been elected, said of the controversial Georgia voting law from earlier this year, “Just look through it and look throughout history, and you will know that what is taking place today is a new Jim Crow, just that simple.” In Florida, Democratic state representative Omari Hardy called her state’s recently enacted voting law, “the revival of Jim Crow.” And in Texas, another Democratic state legislator named Jessica Gonzalez asserted that the Lone Star State’s proposed voting law is merely, “Old Jim Crow dressed up in what our colleagues are calling election integrity.”
We all know “Jim Crow” was terrible, but what exactly was it? What did those laws look like? To fully understand the magnitude of these accusations by Democrats, we must first understand the laws to which they are drawing moral equivalencies.
