Republican “anti-voting” laws, President Joe Biden claimed during his demagogic speech at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia last week, are the most “significant test of our democracy since the Civil War.” Those laws are “odious,” “pernicious,” “vicious,” “unconscionable,” a “subversion” and “suppression,” the “21st-century Jim Crow,” and the sure sign of an emerging “autocracy.”…

That’s the message of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, one of the largest BLM organizations in the country.

How often during the last year of wokeness have middle- and lower-class Americans listened to multimillionaires of all races and genders lecture them on their various pathologies and oppressions?
