/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!
I think there’s reason to believe that voter intimidation works; that’s how Reconstruction was defeated and how the white minority dominated minority-majority districts for nearly a century. White terrorism was basically the norm through most of US history.
The regime is acting like popularity is irrelevant, and that only approval from their base matters. I think that tells us their plans.
Yeah he’ll send out a check and say it’s paid for by the tariffs or something.
I also think sending ICE to intimidate voters is likely. Might even be seizing voter registration data to make a list of enemies that need to be harassed and intimidated into not voting.
I think they may have signaled to Trump that they were going to rule this way and that’s why the regime is talking about federalizing elections in blue states.
Not authoritarianism: being the prison capital of the world, spying on everyone everywhere, police killing 1000+ a year, etc etc
We briefly experimented with the idea during Reconstruction and then quickly got rid of it.
You just haven’t gotten a toaster that requires you to register your account over a continuous internet connection.
Naw that’s just rent in LA.
We don’t use Reddit. You’ll never have to talk to us again if you leave.
So. Why are you here?
On the other hand, she dodged a bullet.
I was told that royal families are all ceremonial and that they don’t have any real power, but we keep finding them embroiled with people who have real power.
Really makes you think.
Do you think the US acquisition has zero impact on Tiktok globally?
They’re also good at collaborating together to both protect the wealth they already have and to get even richer.
They have class solidarity and are always cooperating to advance the interests of their social class.
You can’t vote away fascism.
If fascists allow themselves to be voted out, fascism didn’t go away. It’s just been put on pause until they win again.
We have to win every single election for the rest of history. They only have to install someone willing to end US elections once. Unless we solve this problem in a more permanent fashion, the fascists will always just be one more election from taking over again.
We know you have sugar water in there!
They’re very good at it. Anyone can make mistakes but they’re certainly not stupid, bad at their job, or incompetent.
Because the sale of Tiktok was done to suppress Palestinian voices?
They’re good at what made them rich and powerful! They’re not good at much else, they’re not smart about much else, and they can’t really do much else. But! They’re still they’re very good at what they do, and they love doing it.
They have a specialized set of skills and interests that revolve around making money and gaining influence/power.
Your enemies aren’t dummies, that’s why they win. Stop underestimating them. They’re gonna fucking kill us all.
The recent bloodbaths at the polls are happening without voter intimidation, hence, they’re going to start employing it.
Why do you think Tulsi Gabbard just raided Georgia? They want a list of the people they need to intimidate.
