related_tweet: @jewelsjourneys @ange_amene black voter turnout was suppressed in 2016, 2018 and will be again in 2020. the same forces were at work in 2008 and 2012. but turnout was higher in 2008, 2012 bc of obama. voters refused to be suppressed, turned out anyway. in 2016, turnout returned to pre-obama levels.
