Imagine the Ku Klux Klan in full regalia standing before a polling place deep in Dixieland hurling racial insults at black people arriving to vote in the last election. Imagine further a Republican-run U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) dropping the civil complaint against the KKK that had been filed by a Democrat-run DOJ.
Unless you've dropped acid, your fantasy life probably can't get you there.

Oh, c’mon, Jan, you know the drill - it’s only racism if White people do it.
Get with the program.
If one of those black panther idiots tried blocking me at a polling place, they’d need a crowbar to pull that baton out of their asses.
