Not long ago there were people who said “hey, okay, we can take down the ‘no Coloreds’ signs, but letting them vote, that’s too unpopular.” Brother, we’re not piecemealing someone’s humanity in 2026. No.

But then ... why wouldn't the right just be able to do the same thing on those other issues?

There’s a community bakery around the corner from me. They just posted an apology letter to customers for raising prices but they had no options with cocoa tariffs blowing up their input costs.
Donald Trump ran for President saying he would lower costs “on day one.”
What's happened since he took office a year ago? Costs are up, up, up.
