I suppose now, after years of the left saying there's no wide spread fraud to the right's dipshit allegations, when we point out the inevitable suspicious activity in these states without adequate oversight they'll throw our own words back at us. Fuck i hate these idiots.
They're not all idiots. Many of them are malicious and completely aware of what they're doing.
Our institutions basically run on trust and dreams. Republicans are willing to ignore that and operate outside of established law.
this, explained thusly: democracy works pretty well when we all play by the rules. fascists know this, so fascists subvert democracy by not playing by the rules. this breaks democracy.
To paraphrase Marco Rubio, "Let's dispel with the notion that [these fascists] don't know what they're doing. [They] know exactly what they're doing."
We like to think they're dumb Bible-thumping hicks, when the people doing this are well-connected Ivy League graduates who have been planning this destruction for half a century now. They know words mean fuck all, they know rules mean fuck all, they know all that matters is exercising power, and the sooner Democrats wake up to the fact that they aren't playing the same game, the sooner they can fight.
I mean, they won't, because best case that would involve growing a spine, worst case they have similar interests (benefit the wealthiest and most powerful), but it's nice to imagine.
2024 election will be a sh*t show for shizzle.
Amazing.
Conspiracy 1: In the 2024 elections there will be massive amounts of double votes and they'll all be democrat votes which they'll all throw out causing republicans to win.
Conspiracy 2: There will be massive republican voter fraud. They will say no fraud was detected and Republicans win.
Either way they will claim thier system works and to look no further.
I mean they tried that and neither of your scenarios happened.
