“She doesn’t make speeches anymore. She has become speechless. She stays in her home, but it doesn’t seem to agree with her. How furious she must be, now that she’s been taken at her word.”
only thing is, they want to be stripped of power, fash daddy, “strip me of power please”, they keep voting for it, for decades upon decades now, while they choose not to vaccinate their children

Main issue of the article:
- Republicans passed a bill requiring married women to have a passport to vote. To restrict ~80 million votes from women.
Other things republicans are quoted about:
- Prevent women from leaving marriages, despite the husband beating her.
- Make it difficult for women to vote.
- Stop women from votimg all together.
- Remove women from positions of authority.
- Death penalty for abortion.
- Republicans compare voting age women to 5 year olds.

I don’t want to defend the horseshit Republicans are shoveling around but this isn’t true. You can access the text of H.R. 2022, the so called Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, at this link.
If you read 2(b)(1), don’t worry it’s on the very first page of the link, it clearly states:
“(1) A form of identification issued consistent with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States.
As of September 2020 all US States and territories are issuing REAL ID compliant Drivers Licenses and State ID cards.
So anyone whose undergone a name change, regardless of gender, who has a State Issued ID meets the requirement. No passport necessary.
Republicans are up to enough awful shit without needing to lie about it. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act does not disenfranchise 80 million married woman.
Getting a REAL ID is not that easy - I got turned away when I tried (despite having a passport? it was confusing?) so I had to go with a non compliant one.
(Of course, as a trans person, I’m mega fucked when it’s time to renew. Hopefully things are sane again by 2028/I don’t lose my DL in between now and then.)
