Voter Suppression

A devious plot in which Republicans try to prevent those who are likely to support the Democratic

party from voting. Usual targets are African Americans, the poor, and the elderly.

Voter Suppression in Alabama works like this; first they require a state issued ID to vote, then they close all the drivers license stations in the 31 counties that have a black majority.

Deez Nuts 2016

A fake presidential campaign launched by a 15 year-old kid from Iowa. The campaign is basically meant as a joke, but it is also a statement of frustration over the two-party system and the lack of decent candidates. Oddly some polls have shown Deez Nuts is the most popular independent candidate since Ross Perot

The Deez Nuts 2016 campaign was meant as a joke, but the campaign has brought up some interesting issues. For example Deez Nuts has pointed out the hypocrisy of Fox News for fanning the flames of birtherism in regard to Barack Obama who was born in Hawaii to an American mother and a Kenyan father, but has never questioned the citizenship of Ted Cruz who was born in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban father.
