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

So people in that state are not allowed to dress up as ghosts?

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 An in person voting location in Georgia is one of the only exceptions.

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.

They weren't "fucking with voting" and even left when they got told off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon's_razor

Right... That's why they were allowed to stay.

They weren't allowed to stay because they were filming. I'm struggling to apply Hanlon's razor to you right now, since you sound like you're arguing in bad faith just for the sake of arguing.

I'm struggling to get you to understand how bringing a camera to a secret ballot is disruptive.

I'm struggling to get YOU to understand how that does not make you a Klan member.

You're the one who even brought that up? Nobody is claiming that.
