Apr 11, 2021 -- More than 100 corporate executives hold call to discuss halting donations and investments to fight controversial voting bills.[LINK]
So, more than 100 American corporations are flexing their muscles to oppose Georgia's new voting law. Hm. We need to stop and think about who are behind this ugly movement by the suits. The bosses of those corporate executives + the Democrats + RINOs, probably. -- Then, I must say H.R.1 is the maginot line. [1][2]
Once the bill becomes the law;
those bosses will not just be able to select the figures even for your state governments, but also they will be able to keep the other companies & politicians, that were against H.R.1, in line. Remember what has followed once Facebook & Twitter closed down Trump's account.
We shouldn't be silent on this bill. Talk to your representative.
In this particular case, even if one isn't a super skeptical, he/she can guess it'd probably go like this:
Since there are (now barely) enough of senate Republicans who noticed their constituent's resistance against the bill, those Republicans will put their 'sincere' efforts to block the bill from proceeding to a vote, presumably with a filibuster. In short, for now there is less chance for this bill to become the law.
However, after/if 'they' have failed this time, they'll come back with a different form of the bill's premise. And the game of "the mass media and people on social media will say anyone who opposes the bill is a racist" will be more amped up than this time.
They will get it eventually.
You see, they've already tested the threshold on how much the public would tolerate with this kind of nonsense bill and even conducted dry runs on some of the OECD nations: In 2005 South Korea passed the bill that allows non-citizens to vote in the elections. They pushed it in the name of "for the people" and succeeded to convince the public to believe the bill was for the public's own benefits. In July 2020, Japan tried to pass a similar bill but the Shinzo Abe's administration at that time blocked it. Coincidentally, Shinzo Abe, who is widely described as a right-wing nationalist, resigned two months later blaming a significant resurgence of his ulcerative colitis.
Still,
we shouldn't take this inevitable insanity just sitting down and being quiet. — We must publicly voice the opinion against the bill and get support from other people in trying to postpone its becoming the law until the next nationalist US administration arrives. Even if the chances of that kind of administration's happening are now slim to none.
Of course the law doesn't apply to our betters. I still want to remember every law they broke in case we're ever able to knock them from their high horses.

Pfft....what will that do or accomplish? Seriously?
Oh, I agree with your sentiment.

Isn't this kind of collusion illegal?
