I know this is list building. It’s just kind of doomer seeing everything going on and THIS is the response.

What would it take for Dems to go Luigi-mode 🤔

    i almost hope the trump admin goes too far and actually, officially cancels elections. instead of doing the smart thing and just rigging them and keeping a veneer of participation

    i mean they do love the unsubtle

    it would require that for most libs to finally wake the fuck up. sure, some would instantly turn full fash to save themselves, i don’t doubt that

      Its an own goal for them to go after mail in ballots. They heavily favor old Republicans who have been voting by mail for decades. Going after in-person early voting would hurt Dems more.

      This feels like more backlash to the 2020 election results.

        makes me wonder of the lib panic over “there will be ICE at every polling station in the cities” will also be a thing then

        it wouldn’t take much to do some old fashioned Brazil (Bolsanero) style overt disruption to keep people away from the physical polls
