Maga delivered the conservative dream of the past 50 years: the voices of racial minorities in red states have been silenced. Democracy died in daylight. I've been angry a lot over the past 10 years but I'm shaking with tearful rage today. #USpol #FuckFascism #scotus

Well that's not true.

The voices of racial minorities have not been silenced. Quite the opposite. In reinforcing the anti-discriminatory safeguards required of US systems of voting those voices have been buttressed.

Democracy didn't die; it was exulted and proudly put on a pedestal ahead of political mechanisms that sought to undermine it.

Unfortunately there's an awful lot of misinformation out there, and it sounds like you've been fed a false tale that runs counter to the SCOTUS ruling, that's been manipulating you into rage.
