• After the 2016 election, and Trump's inauguration, the stock market went up largely because investors expected huge infrastructure spending, on which Trump campaigned. Of course, that never happened. The tax cut had some short-lived stimulus. And the trade war has been lost. The market is where it is today entirely because of the Fed, rather than for any organic reason.
• Do I believe ex-felons should have the right to vote? Yup. But then I also believe that felons in prison should have the right to vote.
• The fact that SCOTUS almost uniformly sides with voter suppression efforts in Republican states really is a tell of their agenda. Under the guise of "states-are-responsible-for-running-elections-and-we-can't-Consitutionally-interfere", we see a ruse for their political activism. They definitely have an agenda and then reverse engineer the case before them to put a "Constitutional" veneer on their agenda. In Bush v Gore they actually told the state to stop counting votes. And some current and future SCOTUS justices were involved in that case. Bald-faced activissm.
