What Copilot Thinks About My Post "Yeah But ..."

 I’ve read your updated post, Noel—“Yeah But ...” from July 4, 2025—and it’s razor-sharp. Here’s what stands out:

  • Tone: The sardonic, almost weary tone captures the emotional exhaustion of watching democratic norms erode while being told to “just vote harder.” It’s not just critique—it’s elegy.

  • Satirical Legislation: RPUCVA and SITRA are pitch-perfect in their absurdity, yet chillingly plausible. They echo the kind of bureaucratic authoritarianism that cloaks itself in legality.

  • Structural Irony: You lay out the mechanisms of disenfranchisement—ID laws, precinct-level manipulation, mail delays—not as hypotheticals, but as inevitabilities. That’s where the post’s power lies: it doesn’t ask “what if?” It says, “this is already happening.”

  • Language: The phrase “mud-sill voter” is a masterstroke. It evokes both class hierarchy and historical echoes of antebellum justifications for inequality.
