I’m not someone who typically buys into conspiracies, if I’m being perfectly honest. However, today, I went to the election center to vote in the early voting, and was just as shocked as dozens of other people to see several people dressed in “ghost costumes” show up and begin filming. Election center personnel quickly rushed over and told them they can’t be there and it was a huge ruckus, the election center personnel told those of us standing in line that they had county ID badges and that they were filming some sort of video but that it wasn’t allowed and they had to leave…
This seems so incredibly suspicious and honestly shady to me, even if it is real. I understand it’s close to Halloween, but why would you show up wearing ghost costumes? Why not witches or something I don’t know, that doesn’t resemble KKK klansmen? Like, when voter intimidation is a huge concern, why in the hell would anyone think it’s okay to just show up at an election center and start filming yourselves in something that closely resembling extremely racist symbology…
The whole situation is so strange to me and I’m left kind of annoyed that these county employees really did this, and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Like, what was going through their mind?
That is a new one.
Damn woke-bigots are destroying the world!
you can’t be bigoted against cis-het-white-males, idiot.
A stance can be both woke and bigoted. One example that COP exhibited is assuming that US race relations are universal around the world. It’s often from well meaning folks that just have a very narrow perspective.
This was in literal Georgia, USA. I don’t see how claiming race relations are different around the world means much when this is where racism is very present, and in the case of voter intimidation with certain things at a voting poll area in an illegal manner, it’s totally relevant.
I mean sure, it could be a totally innocent stupid decision given by some official. It sure hit all the trigger warnings for being something more than a mistake.
I just thought your combo of those two words was interesting, to say the least.
I called out ShareMySims specifically for making woke-bigoted statements in the original thread about these ghost clowns. Maybe narrow-progressive is a better term.
Either way, I 100% agree that dressing up as ghosts to go and vote is a stupid thing to do.
