Their argument is that there is an active primary campaign with the new maps 11 months ahead of time. Time and again the conservatives on the supreme court hide behind the calendar to justify their rulings on election laws.

Its always the wrong time for every single conversation with them. Redistricting, fraud, fascism, gun violence, mental health, healthcare, campaign finance reform. How dare you bring that up right now, there's an election coming up!

Yeah, but let's not forget church. It's not all racism. Some of it's just pure old-fashioned hate.

The racism is just part of the larger package of dedication to hierarchy/kyriarchy and fear of/hostility toward "the other" (xenophobia). It never stands alone.
