Trump & KKK Act: Carol Anderson on Reconstruction-Era Voting Rights Law Cited in Trump Indictment

On Thursday, former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to trying to overturn the results of his 2020 election loss. Trump appeared before a magistrate judge in Washington's federal courthouse two days after he was indicted. A key part of the election interference charges Trump faces relates to a Civil War-era rights law that protects the right of citizens to have their vote counted. We speak with Carol Anderson, author of One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy and ​_White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide_, about Trump's attempt to wipe out the votes of Americans of color and the intimidation of Black voters and election workers. "This is the kind of terror that is reminiscent of what happened during Reconstruction that led to the KKK Act that Trump is charged with," says Anderson. "That kind of terror was the intimidation of Black people who were exercising the right to vote."

So we have an activist news station interviewing an activist who tells us that these other activists are all above board and are honest yeah right

[@davidpeppers551]

Activism and honesty are not mutually exclusive. All media have bias. Some pretend not to have it, some go to great lengths to hide it, and others at least try to be honest about their bias. If activist means holding a particular view, or upholding a particular philosophy or way of operating, then ALL media are activist. Do they support the status quo or don't they? Supporting the status quo IS an activist position. They are taking the side of the rich and powerful. They are ACTING in order to favor power. They are acting to make sure the people absorb the ideas and philosophies of the elites. Trivial pretense aside, most major media are activists in favor of the elites. Elites are more Republican than Democrat, but they come from both parties.

People began moving across the river into Washington State and many left Oregon altogether. Now, many counties in Oregon have voted to separate from Oregon and join Idaho.
