    What in tarnation?! Now how’s he supposed to win if you keep reminding the coloreds to vote!

    This is literally his thought process.

    Pretty sure the counter argument is going to be “voting representation is lowest among minority groups because they face significant hurdles to voting.”

    Also Ken Paxton should get fucked by a giant cactus.

    I thought the head line was so bombastic.

    “By specifically directing voting advertisements to these and many other racial or ethnic ‘detailed targeting’ terms, it is readily apparent that Harris County is attempting to increase the likelihood that only certain racial and ethnic groups—but not all—will vote,” the lawsuit reads. “In any event, there can be no legitimate reason for Harris County to intentionally target voter advertisements toward this peculiar assortment of African American, Asian, and Latino ethnicities, cultural interests, and countries, but not toward any European ethnicities.”

    But no, JFC, that is exactly what he said.

    The fact that it actually stopped the ads is tragic. It clearly has no legs to stand on but achieved the goal.

    Dude, white Republicans must be fucking depressed. Like, the bigotry is still their, it’s clearly the only thing left fueling them. But God damn. Having to cope with the gas prices, the economic failures, a datacenter poisoning your lungs and ears. Listening to your president talk about his ballroom and golf course renovations on social media all day.

    Can we get some “it’ll be ok white people” ads? That’s what Paxton is projecting right now. His entire voter base is too depressed to get off the couch. These red state Republicans never have had to actually try to win an election.

    There there Pax. It’ll be ok. We just need some DEI for old white rascist shitbags.

        The irony of the Zionist comedian that’s used her “racial identity” to justify genocide being “white” in this. The continuous confirmation that “white” is a made up social construct that is either used to signal to hate for an outgroup; or in her case, remove it as an identity when it’s convenient to use her Jewish “racial identity” as a shield for an emotional support apartheid state.

        Also, relevant louis ck from before that video was made; that was basically what the video you linked was ripping off. Kind of blatantly.

        https://youtu.be/7AbxHo9ybD0

        Still, appreciate the sharing. Not directed at you. But, fuck Sarah Silverman. And Louis CK is also a weird sex pest.

        Though both the video and his standup are pointing to white privilege and racial constructs as comedy. So both are good in a vacuum.
