Republicans preparing to reject US election result if Trump loses, warn strategists
Polling experts point to ‘fake polls’ exaggerating his support, with baseless lawsuits alleging fraud already filed
If I had any hair I'd be tearing it out because this has been readily apparent this was going to be the plan going forward since January 7th, 2021.
I'm so tired of it being screamed from the rooftops and everyday it feels like the media forgot entirely about all of it.
We didn't forget about it; we were silenced.
I mean, definitely keep it in the public eye. Just.. also do things to prevent it from being effective.
For the thousands (millions?) of us who have known this since 2015, are we officially strategists?
Hopefully they have known about this for some time and are preparing
Honestly the more they push stolen election and show no results the less effective it will be in future elections. They're drastically losing their grip on power
The sad thing is we lose, not them. We have some 35% of the country convinced that elections don't matter. That's tangentially a democracy problem, but good luck having a meaningful discussion about the the difference between a democracy and a republic.
I'm sure that they have just as I'm sure that they aren't.
I would love to hear how they plan to resolve what feels like an inevitable unrest that will one day erupt.
I'm obviously not an expert on the subject, but the rhetoric has been so much more extreme. I hope nothing bad happens, but I have no idea how to get people to understand that an authoritarian government is bad. Do people even understand what that means? Or how living in an authoritarian state would affect their lives?
Do people even understand what that means?
No, they don't. And they don't want to understand. Just look at how indifferent many are about what is happening on the other side of the planet. If offered an exclusive choice between a 50% reduction in gasoline prices and the complete cessation of all authoritarian and totalitarian regimes without prolonged wars and massive devastation, many would choose the first option. Instead of the cessation of authoritarian regimes, you can point to solving any other global issue like climate change - and they would still choose the first option. This utter indifference, mixed with all sorts of absurd destructive beliefs such as conspiracy theories or racial superiority, provides very fertile ground for the establishment of authoritarianism.
Nobody voting for face-eating leopards expects to have THEIR face eaten.
Imagine not being excited for the collapse of the US government.
It wouldn't be a collapse. It would be a transformation into the most heavily armed fascist dictatorship in the history of the world. If we're lucky, it stays isolationist, but it likely won't.
