149 days until Jan 3, when new representatives are seated.


What is your contingency plan for if the groundwork that has been laid to falsify election results works? Wait harder?

The ethical US has rolled over already.


> falsify election results

This is something that is extremely hard to accomplish in the US. It would be akin to all of Europe voting on the same day and trying to falsify an election in each country. The logistics of this means that you need a lot of participants, and someone is going to blow it (and the whole thing unravels).

That is not the same as interfering: Jackboots at the polls, screwing with the mail, ID requirements.

These two things are NOT the same.

Yet I seem to remember Al Gore winning an election, still Bush became president. Right? EDIT: link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_United_States_presidentia...


Falsifying votes is different from falsifying election results. All of the misinformation being thrown around exists to cast doubt on the voting system to not trust the results. So you vote, it gets tallied up, and if the result is not what you want, blame it on the supposed flaws in the voting system. The people who believe that misinformation come to your defense.


Yet it almost happened in 2020, when there was a lot more resistance against Trump in the US government, and no Project 2024.


Funny how at this point election fraud is a bipartisan issue, everyone seems to believe it's happening or will happen!


It's because everything Republicans say is projection. They want to cheat, so accuse the Democrats of doing it first. In actuality it's the current admin that's laying gound-work for election fraud in November.


Not sure what you intend by this, but yes, that’s their goal. The same people put on a “Trump was robbed” act for the Trump voters and a “Trump is robbing you” act for the Democrats, and with both they accomplish their true goal: get Americans to stop believing in democracy.


Time passes. Trump is literally doing his utmost to disenfranchise voters, called electors to personally harass them, and has spent years "investigating the fraud" to setup groundwork for violating people's voting rights.

One side says bullshit, the other side says "look at all of the fucking evidence of your eyes"


Even if the Republican party loses this time, what makes you think they won't find someone even worse than Trump next time? That seems to be the pattern over the last decades.

I don't see myself ever being able to trust the US again. Maybe if they manage 2-3 decades without conservative idiocy, but the Epstein class would never allow that.


Trump is either going to break the US, or the Republican party. Either way, we're in for a long period of one party rule and chaos.


Which I don’t think it’s healthy either. Any ruling party can become corrupt especially on a longer scale. So the question is what happens if you have another madman in charge?

I think the bigger issue is a two party system. The checks and balances can clearly be gamed as this administration has proven.
