I fear it won’t be centralized just in Washington this time and they could try to take many state houses that simply aren’t prepared as the Capital clearly will be. There was a clip of two men walking away from Jan 6 that haunts me. They were remarking on what an incredible day it was, and one of them says, “but next time we bring the guns”. If 100k armed idiots people show up at the Capital looking for a ‘revolution’, cops aren’t going to be enough. And even worse if they take to local streets looking for anybody who opposes them. I hope the fever doesn’t get that high, but I’ll for sure to be staying far away from any of those crazies for a while.

Finally, a chance to tell Mom, Andrew, Jeremy, and Doug, that they’re only important enough for a stranger on the internet to want to decipher their semi-crossed out names and nothing more!

I made a Mastodon account during that blitz in '22. Yes, content wasn’t there yet, but honestly, it was the interface for me. It’s UI didn’t feel simplistic enough to me as someone just getting started with it.

Lemmy may have faced a similar fate for me if it weren’t for the smooth interface of Sync to be honest. I know many on here are leaps and bounds beyond my tech proficiency, but so many folks are still in the stone ages writing their passwords on post-it notes etc so to think that they’d adopt something like Mastodon over Twitter or Lemmy over Reddit seems like the bigger counterparts will always win just on sign-up flow and instant gratification.

Sounds like this clown lives in that one blip in Nebraska or whatever that can impact shit, you know what to do bois. Electoral vote this mofo out the comments section! /s (chill)

Well, concepts of a plan

I remember being in 3rd grade and learning about the electoral college and thinking, “that’s the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard of”. Still true to this day.

Nowadays, everybody cracks eggs like they got something to bake, but nothing comes out, when they move their whisk, just a bunch of jiggilin’, and mothercluckers act like they forgot about eggs.

I’ve also been thinking and expecting that they will create their own fraud this time. Evidence is what they were missing last time around. So imagine this time, drop boxes get flooded with phony ballots that they themselves put in for Kamala. Then they can point the finger and say “See! We told you so!” and it’s enough for the state legislations not to certify and call things into question.

Closed my X account a couple days ago. He’s truly gotten out of control and my feed had become riddled with conspiracy theory fear-mongering garbage. Good riddance. I encourage others to leave as well, it’s the only way he’s held accountable unfortunately.

Many good points on here. I’d also suggest watching “Get Me Roger Stone”. In it, Stone basically details his secrets to getting the ‘silent majority’ to pay attention. He says that fear is a bigger motivator than love. He says that the uneducated can’t tell the difference between entertainment and politics. There’s so many lines in that documentary that will make your ears perk up and be like, damnt, this was exactly how they did it.

Or she’s still my friend and mentor, one of those two, I’m not sure.

You wouldn’t believe how harmful it really was. She’s still in the hospital to this day with her own 24/7 support staff and therapist, a decade later, over the amount of harm this caused. It’s insane.

I had a wireless plug with remote that you could plug any electric device into and toggle the power on and off. One day, I took it into work and plugged my boss’ monitor into it. Every so often, I’d turn her monitor off for just a second or two and then turn it back on. Maybe once or twice a day to start, but then I’d do it a little more.

This went on for weeks to when she finally reached out to IT to get a new monitor. Well, I was ready for that and had the IT guys already in on it. They told her they were out of working monitors and that the ones the company wanted them to use were backlogged. By now, most of the floor was aware of what was happening. She’d slap the monitor, curse, it was hard to keep a straight face.

After a couple weeks of this, I had my friends in the mail room make up a dummy package from one of her clients and deliver it to her desk. Inside was just the remote. She opened it all confused, pressed the button and her monitor went off and we all lost it. She was so red in the face but took it really well and couldn’t believe she never thought to look under her desk lol.

Google “Hong Kong, Tijuana”, best Chinese this side of the border.
