    I remember when they celebrated January 6th, only to claim it was a false flag once it became clear how much it failed.

    They’re equal parts scary and pathetic, incompetent while still earnestly pushing fascism.

    Unfortunately for us, they have the same vote we do, so it doesn’t matter if many of them are dead weight otherwise.

    They will kill minorities and laugh while doing it.

    Don’t let their comically stupid reasoning and detachment from reality fool you.

    They’re dangerous and cannot be taken lightly.

      gosh i wish that were more true. given the equal representation of states in the senate, and the subsequent higher weighting of low-population states in the electoral college, the vote of a californian is worth a lot less than the vote of a wyomingian. and someone in washington D.C. has even less say. it’s a pretty fucked up pseudo-democracy, tbh.

        Fair point. It was predictable that things would end up that way given the system’s design. Equally powerful votes is the best practically, but even that’s imperfect. Elections can be life or death for some, but not matter as much for others. American elections matter more for people in other countries than for many American citizens. That’s the inequality I was talking about, but you’re correct. It isn’t the only one.

        All the screenshots are of crazies. I think in that one, the people who posted the polls were Jewish right wingers and didn’t expect their fans to be Nazis. They accidentally proved the point they tried to disprove. Not 100% sure tho
