A thread.
Maybe a smart person on American Twitter will see this and respond with facts.

Why do democrats fight against Voter ID laws?
Do people just walk around & live their lives without a form of identification?
If yes, how do they live?
If no, why the fuss to show ID to vote?
1. Would you agree to a law that required you to get a blood test every time you used the bathroom?
How about a law that required you to slice one millimeter off your penis every time you used ketchup?
I bet you’re thinking “But those laws have no point.”

Every single large-scale peer reviewed study ever conducted says voter fraud does not exist on a meaningful scale.
Dating back to 1982, there have been less than 500 prosecutions. If we multiplied that by the literal billions of votes cast...
There are LITERALLY more people who claim to be abducted by aliens than there are convictions for in-person voter fraud (Seriously, there was a
When Richard Hasen, a law professor and author of the 2012 book “The Voting Wars” looked at 30 years of data in search of voter fraud changing the outcome of an election, he couldn’t find a single instance
Let me get this straight, I get the president of the United States to agree to put over half a trillion dollars of capital in the Black Community (without an endorsement) and Niggas are mad at me?\U0001f602\U0001f602\U0001f602...have a nice life.

Why do I know you got played @icecube? I've talked to numerous Black Republicans who currently work with the administration and THEY said the $500 billion "commitment" is a joke. You're just wrong, bruh. 2/2
I am 100% for Black folks making it clear that we are constituents who must be addressed by who is in power. But @icecube, you REALLY think you got Trump to agree to $500 billion when you said you never talked to him? Bruh, you talked to Jared Kushner. 1/10
Also @icecube, the other reason I know the $500 billion is fraudulent because after Trump announced the plan in front of his Black minions in ATL, he never brought it up again. It was a one-page press release. 2/10

In a recent thread about collective election anxiety/PTSD, I wrote that “one half the country doesn’t believe in evidence, the other half can’t trust it.” 2/

1)You\u2019ll never go broke if you consistently bet on the ignorance/depravity of 1/3 of this country.
2)One-half of the country doesn\u2019t believe in evidence. The other half can\u2019t trust it.

This couldn’t more evident than by the fact that 87 percent of Trump supporters believe he will win re-election, despite the fact that… 3/
…the empirical data that shows Biden *should* win easily. This has resulted in https://t.co/e8JNg5tYmK calculating that Trump has only a 10% chance of winning. To be clear, 10% is a non-zero number, much like the 30% chance that Trump had in 2016. 4/
But the real problem isn’t necessarily about low probabilities, the real problem…..or more accurately, the danger…..lies in the pathologically unrealistic expectations of the cult of Trump: 90% of them have been conned into thinking that a 10% probability is a “sure thing”. 5/
