It’s game played by the powerful since time immemorial. Divide the masses. Make them believe the “others” are the enemy. The few benefit.

Diversity. Equity. Inclusion.

Society does not provide by default. It requires conscious effort. Not trying leaves obstacles to diversity in place, perpetuates inequality, and perpetuates the privilege and exclusion. It’s absurd to suggest efforts to promote fairness and inclusion are unfair.

Vote fraud is the scam. Disenfranchisement & voter suppression is the goal.
