They made it illegal, to give food and water to someone in line, waiting to vote. Think about that one! And yes, it is Trump still controling the Republican Party. Though voter suppression has been a staple of the party for a long time. As the demographics of the population of areas change, they are concerned they will no longer be able to win elections. So rather than come up with governing policies that could make them more attractive to the larger voting population, they come up with suppression tactics. Not only that, but this is their only policy. That and using fear of brown people to keep their base fired up.
Truth
I do not see it as an Orange Baboon issue. He has nothing to do with this. This has been stewing in the pot in Georgia for years, long before Trump ran for president. He just provided them with the balls to do this.
As hnry said, it is about retaining power with undemocratic means; rather than come up with a platform that people might support.
They use suppression to retain power, and that is what this is all about. Nothing else.
I do not see these people as Republicans. They are scared bigots wishing for a past that will never be again.
It is not about ideals or opinions of governance. This is why Trump appeals to these people.
His ideal of retaining power at all costs fits right in with these assholes desires, despite widely varying motivations.
