    You’re trolling, right? I can’t imagine why I’d have to explain this otherwise.

    Laws aren’t magical spells that change reality. If Republicans introduce a law saying “you must have a passport to vote”, people can still vote without a passport as long as nobody prevents them from doing so. Republicans can send ICE to polling stations in blue states to prevent people from voting without a passport.

          They already send ICE to do illegal things in states without open confrontation with the state’s own forces.

            Ah yes, sorry, I forgot we’re deliberately ignoring all nuance. So I agree: no matter from which perspective we look at it, there’s literally zero reason for the politicians to show a stronger reaction towards completely losing their own power to the fascist regime.

              The subject is “will Trump require passports to vote”, and the answer is “no, because his own constituents are the least likely to have passports.”

              Everything else is just Qanon-style “yes and-” fantasizing.
