It’s easy to overlook how devastating it is that the Voting Rights Act was gutted by the current Supreme Court. The fact that this heinous act was perpetuated along party lines should tell you something about where the parties are today. The once proud party of Lincoln, the ones who struggled to hold the nation together, the ones who fought for the rights of the underprivileged, the slaves, and the downtrodden—that party is officially dead. It had been dying since before Nixon invoked the Southern Strategy, but now its death is undeniable. In its place is the corrupt boys-club of a party that the Southern Democrats used to be.
But this isn’t over. We will overcome because we know the difference between right and wrong, even those of us who refuse to admit it. This is what we discuss in the podisode today: Voting Rights. We also discuss abortions and the rise in women’s mortality. So buckle up, listen in, and get some perspective.
