I should clarify. Of course Republican lawmakers know exactly what they’re doing, but they pretend otherwise. I don’t know if someone like Abrams calling that out in a public debate helps or not, certainly it would feel good to hear someone just say it to their faces.
Also, when I say “Republicans” I’m not necessarily only talking about lawmakers. The so-called conservatives I know on a personal basis really do believe in massive voter fraud and deny that these measures are racist, to them it’s not about race it’s about “Democrats cheating.” They live in a fantasy world. We all know this. With that in mind I still seek ways to illustrate to the conservatives I know how they are wrong-- someone willfully lying doesn’t care, someone with misconceptions might listen.
