GOP Insanity Containment: Beets, Gazpacho, and Lube

[Melkerson]

@Devil

I still don’t see why the Senate was unanimous in support of Juneteenth. As an argument against an election day holiday? “Oh, too many holidays already! We just gave you one!”

Yeah, I posted this theory earlier:

Lukewarm take incoming:

GOP senators voting for Juneteenth to be a national holiday is actually a brilliant move. Now if there is a bill to make election day a national holiday, they’ll say “We can’t afford another one, we just did Juneteenth. It’s not that we’re anti-voting. We’re just trying to be fiscally responsible.”

They can also use it as an all-purpose anti-racism defense. “The suggestion that I’m racist is absurd. I’m the least racist person there is (after Dear Leader Trump, of course). FFS, I even voted for Juneteenth to be a national holiday. How can I possibly be racist?”
