Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

I know I’m often frustrated by the hypocrisy. This article offers an interesting perspective. I also think a lot of ppl are generally selfish and can’t be inconvenienced. E.g., even ppl who supported masks and social distancing suddenly didn’t when it interfered with their plans. Nurture or nature?

The SAVE America Act mandates that all voters must bring to the polls specifically a photo ID which has proof of citizenship “on the front of the document.” So REAL IDs don’t count. If the ID does not precisely conform to that standard, you must also bring separate proof of citizenship.

(a) IN GENERAL.—Each
individual voting in an election for Federal office shall present an eligible photo identification document.
(b) PRESENTATION
REQUIREMENTS.—
(1) IN-PERSON
VOTING.—In the case of an individual who votes in-person, the eligible photo identification document shall
(A) be a tangible
(not digital) document; and
(B) be presented at the time of voting.

(c) ELIGIBLE PHOTo
IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENT.—For purposes of this section:
(1) IN GENERAL.—The
term "eligible photo identification document" means any document which
(A) is issued by an authority described in paragraph (2); and
(B) meets the requirements of paragraph (3).

(3) REQUIREMENTS.—A
document meets the
requirements of this paragraph if the document contains
(A) a photograph of the individual identified on the document;
(B) an indication on the front of the document that the individual identified on the document is a United States citizen; and
(C) either
(1) an identification number issues by the entity described in paragraph
(2)(A); or
(11) the last four digits of the social security number of the individual identified on the document.

(4) USE OF ADDITIONAL
DOCUMENTATION.—
(A) USE OF ADDITIONAL
DOCUMENTATION.—A document which fails to meet the requirements of paragraph (3)(B) shall not fail to be treated as an eligible photo identification document if the document is presented together with another identification document that indicates the individual is a United States citizen.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
