    I thought the QANON crowd would be more upset when they found out they were lied to, but seems like they are too tired or embarassed to fight anymore.

      It’s easier to lie to a person than convince a person they’ve been lied to.

    When the republican party nominates its people, they’re not nominating their best. They’re nominating people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people

        The Southern Strategy goal was to make it so you didn’t have to use fraud to stay in power. You can even abuse the people who put you there, and they’ll still keep you there loyally.

        They were prepared to do all sorts of things, but it turned out it wasn’t necessary. American voters behaved just as they have been trained to. I think some Republicans might have been shocked how easy it was too, after the celebrating and once they looked back.

        Fraud may be the incorrect term in a technical sense, but they did engage in mass targeted vote suppression, especially in swing states.

        Take a look at this: https://www.watchvigilantesinc.com/

        Full documentary on YouTube. For free. Intentionally. https://youtu.be/P_XdtAQXnGE

        If we can get word of this EVERYWHERE asap, I really really really hope we can get those suppressed votes counted. If the right people who know what to do see it soon enough

        Edit for a Tl;dr of the documentary: Highly influential people used an old Jim Crow law to question the legal right to vote of tens of thousands of voters. These people were NOT notified, and their votes NOT counted because of this.

        This is MAJOR intentional election interference.

    How does he look like exactly like a Pixar villian that crossed into our world. It’s insane.
