President Biden didn’t hold back in his speech Tuesday afternoon on the urgent need for voting rights protections, labeling the onslaught of restrictive voting laws in states with Republican-controlled legislatures modern-day Jim Crow discrimination.

“They want to make it so hard and inconvenient that they hope people don't vote at all,” Biden said in Philadelphia, referencing an effort in Texas to pass a new elections law. “That’s what this is about. This year alone, 17 states have enacted -- not just proposed, but enacted -- 28 new laws to make it harder for Americans to vote. Not to mention, nearly 400 additional bills Republican members of the state legislature are trying to pass.”

“The 21st century Jim Crow assault is real,” Biden added. “It’s unrelenting. And we’re going to challenge it vigorously.”

Not wishing him well.

He quoted Stalin: "This isn't about who gets to vote, or making it easier for eligible voters to vote"

"It's about who gets to count the vote"

I doubt he was aware - just counting down the minutes till pudding time.

He also said Trump supporters were worse that southern slaveholders during the Civil War. I don't know if he bothered to explain the logic of that one.

Jim Crow = Democrat

I've posted this before and you're not going to like it.

I lived in Florida during the old Jim Crow, and didn't mind it.
Of course, I was only ten.

With the way things are going, I wouldn't mind seeing it revived. I sense the other side has much worse in store for us.
(and I'm not putting you on about that. If you don't like it, too bad...)
