Voter ID is a good example of what you shared. The left pretends to champion minorities with their stance, but it's really a disdain and underlying racism against those groups: [VIDEO] They think they can't use the internet, get to the DMV, obtain an ID, etc.
This argument seems like grasping me to. How would one function in society at all without an ID? Opening a bank account, cashing a check, driving a car, visiting a doctor, taking a train or plane, going to court. These are all activities which require ID. Sure, there is a tiny fraction of people who can't engage in those activities. But how likely is it that those folks are going to be voting, anyhow? I found this video pretty funny while searching around: [VIDEO]
FYI, "IDs which most minorities don't have" is incorrect and it looks sort of racist. Here, the first third interviewing people at UC Berkeley with that idea and the remainder interviewing actual minorities: [VIDEO]
>>I'm going to go out on a limb and say that these individuals are more qualified to make their own life choices than people on the internet who know nothing about their lives. At the risk of going down the partisan rabbit hole, this reminds me of the video segment where Ami Horowitz questioned people of liberal political persuasions on the ability of black voters to meet photo ID requirements, and then asked black Americans the same questions: [VIDEO]
This is the silliest argument against voter ID laws ever, and should be retired. [0] [1] [2] [0] [LINK] [1] [LINK] [2] [VIDEO]
