The Apartheid is still in the Muskrats. F-them and they should go back to South Africa.

Wow now, these aren't the immigrants the Republicans were referring to.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

LOL! Dark MAGAT is an immigrant and technically qualifies under the GOP rules.

She’s not even American. Pretty wild for an immigrant to be throwing so much shade at immigrants.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 58 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It's really not that wild, many legal immigrants want to pull the ladder up behind them.

Source: am married to an immigrant and work with several. All of them seem to like Trump's immigration policies for some reason...

I honestly can't wrap my head around this. If I emigrated elsewhere to flee this shit-show, I would absolutely help other people cross whatever borders I did.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (7 children)

Conservatives think that some people are just better than others and, surprise surprise, they're near the top of the "natural hierarchy".

"I'm an immigrant, but I'm not like those other immigrants because I don't [Republican stereotype of immigrants]"

Class and race are the issues. Rich, white Immigrants? Sure, that’s them. They’re fine with more. Poor or non-white? No way.

Poll workers totally won't realize the same person voted ten times.

And it's totally feasible to register in 10 different places and drive to them all and wait in line 10 times in a single day.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

And definitely not something that will attract government attention when you're repeatedly registering, no sir.

For that matter, when I was a poll worker, we had a computerized system, even though we did paper ballots, which noted when someone had already received a ballot regardless of where in the state they received it.

And to swing most elections they'd have to have dozens or scores of people doing it in a bunch of geographically adjacent districts.

She's about as dim as her son.

There's no need to sully the good name of Lord Megatron.

She can be called Megakaren.

And every fucking time it's been proven in court, it's been a Republican that did it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

“Because the deep state libs are in power so the only ones they’ll prosecute are the Republicans who do it”

I can hear it now lmao

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

The game I always play when I see news stories like this is

Who did it.

I always guess republican.

I'm not sure when I was last wrong... it's very rare.

We live in a world that if you call someone an idiot or violate some other arbitrary rule you get banned, but if you spread dangerous lies you usually are fine and rarely see a consequence

[–] [email protected] 61 points 5 days ago

she's obviously not going to get banned on her son's weird personal blog

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago (7 children)

Yeah. Shit like this has driven me to the conclusion that the logical end state of civility politics invariably tends towards fascism.

That wouldn't even fucking work, lol. You need, at minimum, a proof of address, and even if you spoofed 10 different names and addresses that each corresponded to 10 specific precincts, you're going to be given a provisional ballot, in which case your vote doesn't even get counted until it has been independently researched and verified by county workers, which if it succeeds, won't get counted till a week later.

God. I fucking hate that these idiots have a non-zero chance of winning.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I can't belive it's a bloody coin flip...

Do these people think real life is a fucking game? At this point I'm convinced repoblicans are delusional

[–] AlecSadler 95 points 5 days ago

...because they are?

[–] [email protected] 89 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's the result of being rich and not knowing what consequences are.

Imaging touching a hot plate and not burning yourself. What incentive would there be to not touch that plate?

When you have enough money and power to avoid experiencing the vast majority of consequences of your actions, then life does become a game for the vast majority of the time.

The reluctance of governments to take action against the rich and powerful just feeds their delusions further.

Honestquestion: can she be tried in court for publicly calling people.yo commit crimes?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 5 days ago (6 children)

I demand you stop calling her Megatron, that is way too cool of a nickname for that woman.

She's just prepping some Rs to think that faking votes is easy so they'll be more accepting of the idea that the election was stolen when Trump loses. As a bonus she also makes it seem like the R party is the one stopping this fictional fraud.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 days ago

It's very clear that these people legitimately do not understand how voter registration works on even the most basic level.

Should have let her run her little scam so she could go to jail like the other Karen's.

I didn't realize Musk bought citizenship for his apartheid mother. And she's here quoting sovcit qnut conspiracy garbage at us like it's a real thing. Fuck the Musk family until the end of time.

Do they not realize how annoying and hard it is for the average person to vote just once during an election?

People don’t have that much free time.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago

It's easier when you just stand in line for 3 hours, walk up to the intake desk, and immediately provide all 10 names.

She's rich. And she's white.

She's not going to be charged.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 days ago

She's Elon Musk's mother and a republican, her sense of constantly feeling like a victum is punishment in itself

Ah we've found the source of the insanity! So he was always like this huh, since birth.

Conspiracy theory is that this is another one of Elon's sock puppet accounts. A version of his mom that appreciates his work.

The way she tossed it out there so casually, as though we knew everyone could do this but we were politely holding back and playing fair until this moment...

At least now we know where Musk gets his bazimga brain from.

Why besmirch Megatron's good name like that?
