I went to vote today in Georgia USA. People showed up wearing bed sheets over them. What is this supposed to communicate exactly??

I’m sorry but some white sheets + sunglasses is absolutely not resembling the KKK in any way, especially since everyone in the US is already dressing up for Halloween. This seems to be just overblown drama. Some dumbos probably thought they’d make some funny ghost voting video for tictok or something, not knowing the rules. Claiming this to be some sort of intimidation attempt is just a fragile victim complex.
You really can’t see how wearing sheets to a voting station in a state with deep historical ties to the KKK could be perceived poorly?
So people in that state are not allowed to dress up as ghosts?
You are absolutely not allowed to film or disturb a place of voting.
I never said anything implying the opposite. But filming also does not make you a Nazi either.
In the US, fucking with voting is very much Nazi behavior.
Context.
You try to use this as a reason to not sound like a bigot, but you’re just meaning to say “yes”.
Nope, in almost every context it’s fine to dress up as a ghost. A polling station in Georgia is one of the only exceptions.
Because polling stations are places for Nazis.
Agreed. This is most likely just some people being doofy.
