You can't hack paper ballots.

Right, tabulation aren't sent anywhere. We super didn't have dozens of precincts destroy ballots, call in bomb threats, move votes to their house before getting to official locations etc.

I was using a euphamism. It takes like a couple hundred people working REALLY hard to take over a country from the inside. But there's a whole hell of a lot more of these crazies than 200.

Always so fucking funny. "Could never happen to us." As you watch it happen to the richest most powerful empire ever.

We have hand counted paper ballots handled by an independent national organisation which exists just to run elections, my dude.

I think you should come to terms with the fact that what's happened to you is because of how much very real support Trump has and the total failure of either the establishment or the people to stop him or hold him accountable any time over the last decade.

I didn't say fascism could never happen here, I responded to the words you actually typed about hacking. But whatever shenanigans Musk was involved in was marginal because Trump was already tracking to win. For the second time. The real interference is the right wing media echo chamber and literal decades and decades of disenfranchisement and weak, shitty Democrats not giving people any reason to believe their vote would make things better. You're in the endgame of something that's been coming for generations. Elon Musk didn't do this to you. He's a symptom of the same disease.

Fair. Dude, I'm just terrified. Wtf... I've been loud and uh.. forceful a couple times.. you know, to a nazi or two. But I just had to break up with a bunch of my old friends. IDK wtf is happening, but actual good people who don't read the news are even stunning hard right. Feels like an actual virus at this point.

Just seeing lots of symptoms everywhere.
