ID card? But what about non-white people? /s

Oh, right, isn't that another oddity with the US, that not everyone has an ID card? Searching the internet tells me there is no such thing as a general ID card in the US. 🙃

Over here, everyone who's eligible for voting (adult citizens) also has an ID card.

Federal government started verifying identities, allowing people to get Real ID driver's licenses, which are basically federal IDs

We have ID cards but most people just get their driver's license.

Nah, it's the poor people we don't like.
