The woman told a sheriff’s lieutenant in an interview that she filled out her mother’s ballot after her mother’s death, according to a probable cause statement filed with the district court. The statement said the woman was an “ardent” Trump supporter who had wanted to vote for him before she died.

      Is someone keeping a tally of how many people went to prison for this guy so far? I can’t imagine anyone going to prison for Biden, it’s just so crazy.

        There is a tiktok that I’m too lazy to go find but basically it boils down to Trump FANS vs. Biden Voters.

        Trump fans are willing to break the law (read: not go to jail) because they believe they are above the law. The law is for punishing other people.

        Biden/Harris voters are not fanatics, at least generally speaking.

        Which just goes to show his lack of presidential authority. - magas (I expect.)

          I mean, it’s actually kind of impressive how Republicans are just willing to do this. People did it for Nixon, Reagan, and to a whole new level with Trump.

            More expected than impressive. They didn’t invent warped moral frameworks but they do buy from the market leader. The accusations aren’t to convince people to leave the other team, it’s to allow people to justify taking those actions themselves. Stochastic vote manipulation of you will.

      It’s funny, I’m not even expecting the “everything right-wingers complain about is projection” rule to not apply at this point, but it’s getting to the point where I’m not sure if they do anything else at all

        Trump is calling Kamala a fascist now which no doubt means he’s come up with some new fascist schemes

          Either it’s projection, or it’s the “no U R” response.

          When they were called weird, the only response was “no U R”.

          When they claim that Tim Walz is a sexual predator… that’s projection.

          Well, he is talking about the Alien Enemies Act as an immediate action on taking power. There’s only really one way to round up what he’s saying are millions of people at once, and it’s what the Alien Enemies Act was last used for, setting up concentration camps.

          I reeeeeeally try to stay hopeful most of his supporters are ignorant of what they’re going along with, or we are in serious trouble as a nation no matter who wins.
