dax i don't know what to tell you man, it seems we are making completely separate arguments. there's a law/policy/process in place. a change is made to that law/policy/process. There's a delta there. You are essentially making the argument that the delta is inconsequential, nothing to see here. I'm saying it does matter, actually, and examining who is impacted by that delta.
In this case, its fair to say that nobody directly benefits from making a process more convoluted. Indirectly, republican politicians and citizens who identify as republican stand to gain from that delta b/c its going to create more road blocks for the people that would be voting against them.
I'm not going to have that argument with you. You can go back to school and take every class in the sociology department to get a better grasp on why X leads to Y.
if they decided to really start cracking down on cocaine, it would affect white people way more than it would POC.
if they decided to make it actually somewhat difficult to obtain automatic weapons instead of just giving them out like candy to anyone who can see over the counter, mass shootings would happen less frequently, and there would be fewer mass shooting casualties.
if they started cracking down on people who drive like douchebags, you would be seeing a disproportionate uptick in bmw drivers receiving citations.
in order to have any sort of meaningful discussion (something i know you have absolutely 0 interest in) both parties have to agree that some things just are what they are. I'm not going to debate you whether or not water is wet, or the sky is blue.
