Nope. Still racist.
Apparently the Dems deem minorities too stupid to get those too.

They’re “racist” because you can’t get people who are competent enough to get driving license to vote for them for handouts and empty promises. Basic economics.

You’re clearly not thinking cynically enough – almost every adult in America has some form of ID, regardless of race.
The real reason is, of course, that voter ID is a preventative measure against election fraud.
Without it, anyone can come up and claim to be So-And-So, and as long as So-And-So is a registered voter in the district and isn’t logged as having voted yet, cast a vote in So-And-So’s name.
Voter ID is the most basic form of election security, never doubt that anyone who wants to get rid of it is a damned dirty rigger out to disenfranchise you.

We could carry this further with even more cynical thinking.
Voter ID is irrelevant because boxes of fake ballots can be produced at 3 AM in just the right numbers and in just the right districts to flip any election from now on, and even when presented with irrefutable video proof and the sworn testimony of witnesses no one cares, and establishment media brags about how they stole the election and no one will do jack shit and never will because all the “preppers”, “sovereign citizens”, LOLbertarians, conservatives, and others who like to pose with their gun collections and wave snek flags were all LARPers who were full of shit, and when push comes to shove will kneel down and bear their throats at their conquerors.

Remember their attempts to push through a law to let non-citizens vote?
There’s absolutely nothing preventing it from being both; dems want to get and stay in power while expending as few resources as possible - and getting more slum-dwellers in, disarming the populace while completely ignoring colossal inflow of criminal guns from Mexico (AFAIS 1000/day), and setting population against (costly) first-world culture and in favor of (cheap) backwards ghetto shit are all part of that.
Also, as this election has proven, they don’t NEED to get rid of voter IDs, or bring in more handout-voters who don’t have point of reference of how they DESERVE to live vs how they ACTUALLY live and as such are okay with ghettos (and keep them poor by increasing welfare without doing anything to welfare gap, so it’s even less possible to cross said gap), to defraud the election; they already took over judicial branch of the government and can just go “yeah it’s totally still counts if mandatory observer was physically prevented from observing the ballot-counting, democrats totally won, all the republican-vote ballots we threw out don’t exist”; it’s inability to be satisfied with existing results, always craving more control, more power, more “security” of their position (ironically it’s shit like this that tends to cause downfall of corrupt governments).

True… but rigging can always be made easier.
You know, you won’t have to rush in 1.5M extra votes in the wee hours of the morning if you’ve already stuffed the ballots with fake voters, which is child’s play after you federally criminalize voter ID.

The problem here, as I see it, is that most of these groups – other than “sovereign citizens” – tend to be law-abiding people who value stability and order. It’s not in their nature to put up a serious uprising, even if the circumstances warrant it.

Even if one assumes that would produce the desired result, and absolutely couldn’t backfire and cause more cooling than expected, it still seems to conflict with the push for solar power just a little bit.

They’re anti-lizards from bizarro Earth. They’re hot-blooded and require the cooling rays of the frigid bizarro sun to keep their temperature under control.

Which is honestly hilarious even before you consider that photovoltaics are considerably worse ecologically than gas-burning power, and that majority of places on the planet can’t do thermal solar already.

I kind of hate photovoltaics to be honest, for both environmental and practical reasons.
Solar thermal seems much more practical (between the tropics at least) because that collected heat can be stored so you don’t get a brown- or blackout as soon as a stray cloud passes over your panel array, and don’t just stop generating power overnight.

They’re good for small-scale stuff (i.e. anywhere you can’t put a boiler into - off-grid houses, off-planet anything, et cetera), but for large scale they’re considerably worse than a bunch of mirrors pointed at a tower/tubes inside treated glass - or, for that matter, NUCLEAR FUCKING POWER.

That’s basically what I mean.
“Heliostat” type collector towers.
Nuclear’s great in and of itself, as long as the power plants are up to date and well maintained, and the waste isn’t just sealed in barrels and dumped in an old salt mine, Germany!

Up to date isn’t necessary, nuclear has been safe AS LONG AS YOU DON’T EFFECTIVELY-MANAGE IT TO FUCK LIKE JAPAN HAS* for many decades now. Modern plants just can process nuclear waste from older ones.
*seriously, wallpaper over cracks in the concrete foundation before an inspection, having electrical distribution and backup generators below ground level in potential-flooding area, refusing to have emergency seawater cooling because after EMERGENCY seawater cooldown the plant must be completely rebuilt, oh and the ol’ “breeding weapons-grade plutonium in a civilian-grade power plant” that is the actual reason for the fireworks (adjacent plants which weren’t secret nuke fuel makers didn’t have any problems shutting down).

Hence, well maintained…
But yeah, mismanagement in general is the one big problem with nuclear.
And the waste needs to be handled properly, Germany.

I’m not surprised Biden (Harris) appointed a proponent of gun control to director of the AFT, but did he really have to appoint a guy who took pictures of himself standing on a charred child’s corpse at Waco?
