    The fact that anyone still believes there will be anything resembling “fair” elections by 2028 is baffling to me.

    The american capacity to stick their head in the sand as long as they have the newest gadget in front of their face and an endless stream of tiktok content to look at is fucking insane.

      There are some pretty big claims that the 2024 election wasn’t fair either. I’m not talking about the obvious GOP actions to disenfranchise minority voters, calling in bomb threats to Dem leaning areas, purging voter rolls a few weeks before the election, rejecting many votes due to minor inconsistencies, etc.

      I’m talking about Election Truth Alliance’s claim that there was active vote flipping just for president. It’s a huge claim, so it needs irrefutable evidence, but I would fully believe that a guy who has cheated and lied his whole life, who was surely going to prison from the 4 cases he was being investigated for, would cheat with Elon to rig the elections in a few swing states.

        I 100% agree. And I think that, if America survives this and gets back to normal, future historians will most certainly discover this to be true.

        But as say, without evidence, how it happened just becomes less important that stopping it by any means necessary.
