MSNBC’s Reid: ‘Jim Crow’ DeSantis Making It as ‘Hard as Possible’ for Black People to Vote

Pam Key 19 Oct 2022

MSNBC anchor Joy Reid said Wednesday on her show “The ReidOut” that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was a Jim Crow leader who wanted to make it harder for black people to vote.

Reid said, “We begin tonight with Florida, which I would argue, even with Texas existing, has emerged as the modern state in this country that comes the closest to a modern-day version of Jim Crow. Just hear me out. If there’s a state that better exemplifies the rot of MAGA Republican rule than the state of Florida that the governor has named, in very Orwellian fashion, the ‘Free State of Florida,’ I honestly don’t know what it is.”

She added, “I mean, Florida has it all – a law banning gay people from declaring their existence at school. Teachers can actually get fired for it — a law against anti-racist policies at work. Like, you have to let the racism be in the workplace, or else. Book bans and requirements for patriotic Christian education propaganda in public schools. And, of course, a concerted effort to make it as hard as possible for anyone who might vote for the out-of-power party, the Democrats, hashtag, black people, to vote or to have representative district. Florida’s Jim Crow redux governor Ron DeSantis even has his own office of election crimes.”

Remember the days when  the Democrats were willing to debate policy differences? Whether it was McGovern or Nixon, Nixon or Kennedy, Carter or Reagan, Mondale or Reagan, Dukakis and Bush… Their ideas may have been wrong but at least they were willing to debate them and not just resort to name calling
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

If you can’t learn how to vote in Florida, you should not vote.  The immigrants figured it out with little drama.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
