Rep. Thomas Massie Comes Out Against REAL ID, Tool of Totalitarianism, Says Trump Should Not Enforce

[Care4all]

I can understand the argument for and against Real ID requirement .. but its not a step towards totalitarianism ... at least not the level of totalitarianism the lefts leaders showed in blue states during the pandemic ..

It's worse! In every way possible!

 

[Blaster]

It's worse! In every way possible!

Bullshit

How does Real ID control yous?

It is the result of the continuing erosion of inalienable rights. And there will be more. A good percentage of people can do stupid things. Perhaps only hurting themselves. now we can see, read and hear it all to perpetuity with any mistakes used against us forever. Even in death. Anyone who emasculates anyone else has no excuses. Even if they promote themselves on the side of freedom. People fall into line. A government power structure can coerce people on the private side in ownership and employment to deny a citizen for their reasons. And they have and do. People gravitate toward government for they are always right in their minds. Well, we have had warnings and soon enough the vitriol will be coming for them. And it will be deserved. And revenge. Time has no meaning.

Finally someone said it. How is yet another ID going to stop a terrorist? Any terrorist will have a clean record and they won't use anyone that can be traced. Just another step toward China style total fascist state control.

Another Executive Order, Mr. President.

It is not "another ID" it is an updated driver's license, when you applied for your last driver's license renewal you would get the updated one.

Seriously

It is an updated driver's license.

 

[Billiejeens]

That'd be a waste. Ain't nobody gonna unseat Massie.

Why?
Are there no strong conservative Republicans in his district?

 

[Zincwarrior]

It doesn't. And here in Ohio you can get REAL ID for free. So nobody has an excuse to claim an ID requirement to vote is somehow suppressing the poor vote.

Every person with a PHONE IS TRACKED, 24/7.

 

[Kondor3]

Heck... let's modify Real ID so that it can convey citizenship status... perhaps Real ID 2.0 ...

Well, it ain't free in Missouri.

 

[Moonglow]

I am guessing they do not realize that.

 

[Billiejeens]

Well, it ain't free in Missouri.

Are driver's licenses free?

 

[Moonglow]

The control FREAKS have pushed this REAL ID thing for YEARS, but don't you DARE suggest it should be used for VOTING!!!!!!

My Real ID worked for voting. I have used it several times.

 

[Moonglow]

Are driver's licenses free?

Not yet.

 

[SeaMajor7]

Good for you, Ralph.

 

[Billiejeens]

Well, it ain't free in Missouri.

Are driver's licenses free

Not yet.

So why would a replacement for the driver's license be free?

The question we should be asking ourselves here is since Real ID is a solution in search of a non-existent problem, what problem is it designed to solve?
Repub voter ID laws are typically designed to solve the "problem" of too many people voting for Dems. Which is why Repubs launched such efforts in states like GA where trump not only lost the presidential election in 2020, but the state also elected two Dem senators in runoff elections.

Many of the new laws are in states with a history of racial voting discrimination.

The real tell was how Roberts, in writing for the majority, disingenuously said the VRA was no longer necessary. Followed by Repub controlled states all over the country immediately proving him wrong.

Internal passport, what a wonderful idea.

Why do we need to pay to vote? I thought that was illegal.

 

[Billiejeens]

/sarcasm

The New Driver's License (real ID) already removed the need for a passport to fly domestically.

 

[Moonglow]

Good for you, Ralph.

Mostly it was for flying on planes.
