With the fascism, the shit in the epstein files, and this shit, its just a fucken joke now. Burn it to the ground.
None of it is a joke. If Americans treated it seriously when it all first started, we wouldn't be here right now. It's a fascist coup wrapped in the American flag, always has been.
But saying it doesn't seem to motive people to do what's necessary to oppose it. Those words have been overused and misused to the point of being completely ineffective to communicate the seriousness of what's happening. It's a five alarm fire and ppl are just going to work and doin their hobbies and acting like this is someone else's problem to fix. Which is exactly what the political class has taught us for decades, don't engage, don't participate, don't think to be actively involved in your own governance, don't have any power of influence, just vote every couple years and then fuck off back to your wage slave lives.
You know full well that it's just a figure of speech. Don't be deliberately obtuse. It is a joke of a government.
It's as serious a government as America has ever had. Incompetent, corrupt, abusive, cruel, ignorant, arrogant, elitist, racist, narcissistic, but also very, very serious. Humor has a way of disconnecting us from the seriousness of things and I'm guessing that's why you characterize it as a joke. It may be a figure of speech but you using it says something about you that I'm going to take seriously.
Yep. The death throes of a nation begin and ends with a cowardly little weasel promoting fascist ideologies.
“It just looks on its face to be fraudulent.”
“Can I prove that? No, because it happened so far upstream,” Johnson added.
What a little shit
You appear to be a fascist sympathizer, but that’s provable. Every lawsuit attached to voter fraud remarkably time and time again results in pointing to some Republican voter fraud scheme.
Prove it you f’in parrot, or shut yer hole.
It’s all projection. When you know you’re capable of doing it, you think everyone else would be too.
Of course, it must be fraud. Everyone knows that Trump is the most popular president in human history. If he isn't winning every election by at least 99%, then the other guys must be cheating. /s
That's what they will claim if their meddling isn't enough to win the election. All the claims of fraud and fake polls and being supported by the silent majority is just the groundwork for not accepting an election loss.
Excuses are just delay tactics while they maneuver to secure the mechanisms of power behind the scenes. What is America going to do if they succeed, the election happens, and everyone knows it's bullshit? What is each of you reading this going to do? Anything? Democracy dies with a whimper?
For people like me, we'll be relying on our local governments and neighbors.
I'm lucky that I live in Seattle, Washington. My government will do its damnedest to fight back and protect us. If there is a civil war, my local government is on my side. That helps. It also helps that we'd have Oregon with us. California, maybe, but there's a lot of red between Eugene, OR, and San Francisco, and their state and local governments are more entrenched in the federal status quo (looking at Newsom).
We are also very active as far as activism and mutual aid go in this region. And our gun ranges can get crowded.
Maybe you can teach the rest of complacent America what standing up and fighting looks like.
Hey, this stuff’s made in New York City!
