    The episode saw Larry David travel to Georgia, where he finds himself wanting to help an exhausted Georgia citizen who is in line to vote. So, he brings her water—and that’s when the cops show up. In Georgia, only election officials can give waiting voters food or water within 150 feet of polling sites.

    David’s character ends up in jail, where he poses a la former President Donald Trump for his mugshot.

    Greene didn’t find any of this funny. She tweeted that the episode “lied and painted GA conservatives and Trump supporters as racists and red necks and made fun of our good new law that stops the Stacey Abrams vote pandering machine and prevents voter fraud.”

        Often on this site, people will quote the relevant parts of an article in the comments so others don’t have to click through a site like this, which is so ad-laden as to be nearly unusable. No need to be an asshole about it

          Your point stands, but I use Firefox + uBlock Origin + Consent-O-Matic and that site was just fine to browse and read.

          I think lemmy.world is getting so big as to be threatened by copyright takedown, etc and they have a policy of “don’t post the whole article”

          Unfortunately for them (and the owners of the article) you’re not a part of lemmy.world and they can all go fuck themselves. Keep fighting the good fight. (you might get banned/blocked though, fyi)

            You could try responding to my words, or explaining what it is that upsets you about this

        I’m trying to understand why you find his summary offensive or detrimental…
