He definitely didn’t think that 😁

Roberts didn't *think* racism was over. He knows Republicans planned massive racist relignment of various laws.

He *claimed* racism was over because he needed a justification for implementing racist policies. He's a malign actor, not a dupe.

You read my mind. John Roberts' ENTIRE legal career has been spent writing legal justifications to allow powerful, evil people to get away with harming ordinary Americans. His legacy is that he has been an enabler for sociopaths.

2/ Trump’s anti-DEI tantrum? Brought to you by John Roberts. The attacks on civil rights serve as a way for Christian nationalists and neo-fascists to entrench their power unchecked. They've rewritten the rules so only “competent white men” hold power. "Competent” apparently means “Fox News host.”

3/ Before the VRA, Black voters faced literacy tests, poll taxes, and intimidation. Shelby let states revive the spirit of Jim Crow with polling place closures, voter roll purges, and extreme gerrymandering.

The GOP doesn’t have to win votes when it can just suppress them.

4/ John Roberts swore the VRA wasn’t necessary. Since then? Nearly 100 new voter suppression laws. Oh, and without Shelby, Roe would probably still be law. So if you lost your voting rights and reproductive rights, you know who to thank.

TFG is NOT a Christian and not religious and HIS god is money! He couldn't care less about the rest of it or the people behind it. HE is using them - always using people to get whatever his little toddler self wants!

John Roberts has led us down this gang plank. From Citizens United to overturning Roe then on to presidential immunity.

He didnt think racism was over. No one on the Court was that stupid. He just wants re-segregation.

Did he really think racism was over, or was that just a convenient excuse for enabling red states to block Democratic votes?

John Roberts killed the VRA because it was his lifelong dream to do so. Please don’t give any credence to his claims to why he did so except for his personal animus towards those different from him.
