U.S. — Debate continued to rage among Democrats as to whether the SAVE Act is Jim Crow 7.0 or Jim Crow 8.0.
Sources within the Democratic Party admitted that they have completely lost count of Jim Crow, with fierce disagreement over which iteration is which.
"No way. This is at least Jim Crow 8.0," said Senator Chuck Schumer. "First, the original Jim Crow was black Americans being violently segregated from whites-only places and denied voting rights. Then, there was that Georgia law that allowed more early voting. That was Jim Crow 2.0, which was so much worse than the original. Jim Crow 3.0 was when the court said Harvard had to let Asians in, and 4.0 was.... oh shoot, what was Jim Crow 4.0? Was that what Hakeem called my 4th of July cookout? I can't remember."
Democrats were hoping to work out the answer as they sharpen their attacks on the despicable racism of the SAVE Act, which would require citizens to show photo identification to vote. "Asking for photo ID is far worse than the lynchings of the original Jim Crow," explained Senator Amy Klobuchar. "It's at least seven or eight times worse. We're not exactly sure, but we must stop this law or every black American will die."
At publishing time, Democrats had decided that the SAVE Act was actually Jim Crow 9.0 after deciding that a white guy winning the NBA MVP in 2024 counted as Jim Crow version six.
Rumors swirl about the current condition of Senator Mitch McConnell, but his staff have come out to say that even if he were dead he will still be able to finish his term.
