Okay unrelated to the slop how gutted is the voting rights act? Like is it gone? Racial discrimination is legal now? Are we already at that point?
They just made racialized gerrymandering easier to get away with. That was already going on, and now it will be much worse.
We're not at literal
cards at the polls or even poll-tests that de facto enable that 
Well its a small comfort at least but another layer of the proverbial onion has been peeled away
It's not really gutted. It's democrats being over-dramatic to try and make their party look better. All it really does is cut back really specific limits on gerrymandering that were already not real limits in the first place.
Yeah people don't t really understand that all it is doing is saying that two different courts that handled this issue differently need to handle it one particular way. Now, this is extremely powerful, but it is powerful in it's ability to slowly strip rights away one at a time, not any one particular decision. Like yeah, this weakens the Voting Rights Act, but the reason that it went to court is because it was already happening. Of another state wants to handle the problem their way, they can legislate it, but it is saying that what these other people are doing doesn't violate the Voting Rights Act. All it does is officially expand the legal definition of what was already in the process of happening.
Yes, liberals are making a big fuss about it now because they know they aren't going to do anything in the future while rights keep getting stripped away. They can get their brownie points in now, try to make it look like they care about this at all, and then if they are challenged on this from the left, they will just do nothing and say "should have voted for us harder!"
