Get Ready Now: Republicans Will Refuse to Certify a Harris Win | Trumpist county election officials are preparing to throw the process into chaos.
thebulwark.com
A lot of what needs to be done is making sure that the Harris win is large enough that you can't easily claim that a handful of ballots should be tossed and change the outcome. That means:
- Check your voter registration — part of the Republican strategy has long been invalidating registrations so people can't vote
- Volunteer — nothing in the world quite like talking to people.
- Donate — money is used for everything from ads to voter turnout operations
- Organize; be prepared to turn out with others in your community to actively object to any effort to ignore your votes

Okay, now hear me out. What if we treat them like traitors?
America has rarely treated its traitors like traitors. That's how we got in this whole mess.
It's never too late to start!
Promise?
There's a point at which you can't start. But any moment before that and it's still not too late to fuck up a traitor or two. For funsies, even!
Thanks for the taco, Hulk.
Imagine if they dragged Prescott Bush out of his house in the middle of the night and strung him up.
We would literally be on a different. Fucking. Planet.
TIL. From Wikipedia:
Imagine your best defense is “I’m too much of a Nazi to be involved in petty things like a coup in the U.S. We’ll be speaking German soon enough anyway.”
Entirely. Although it's never too late to dig up his skull and start a secret society.
Time to call the French!
We should make examples of them to deter future coup attempts.
Indeed we should. The problem is that the last batch of Trump zealots who tried to help him illegally overturn the last election still haven't actually even faced trial let alone been punished. The wheels of justice are turning so slowly, they might as well be standing still.
There is no justice except what we make ourselves. The "system" is a distraction meant to placate the masses into thinking we're living in a fair and reasonable society.
Bring back hanging as an execution method for sedition.
Over noticed that peiple dont really fear the social consequences of their actions, especially sinve scammers and con men keep getting chamce after chance to steal money. Cant help but feel that coincided with the decline of a good ol' tar and feathering.
Autocorrect should not be turned off.
Wht teh fucn not?
Applying autocorrect for you: Why the duck not?
Believe it or not, that's with autocorrect on. I haven't been able to find a sywpe keyboard that's worth a damn in the last 10 years
The new Futo Keyboard is phenomenal. All the features of Google keyboard/swiftkey but completely local and open source with on-device speech to text if you use voice typing (with models you can swap out yourself if you want).
Just make sure to download the latest pre-release version as it fixes a bunch of bugs and adds missing stuff compared to the 'stable' release.
It’s basically a cheat code for society. So much of our functioning civilization is built on honor code that just noclipping straight through has shown that there’s no backstop and you can just about literally get away with murder.
Well, it's a cheat code for the rich. There are only consequences for your actions if you're a poor
Very true. Good note.
Oh there are consequences for the rich, just that some cultures (like us) are so complacent with bread and circuses that we haven't yet felt the collective urge to pick up rocks and bash in the heads of the callous owner class.
History shows what happens when the rich live consequence free for too long.
I legit think that's part of it but more in a broad sense that we've lost nearly all sense of a local community. People act differently when they legit don't care about the opinions of others around them.
That didn't used to be the case back when everyone knew everyone else in the local community because ratbags would get cut off from doing business and retaining services and everyone would publicly shun them which is a significantly more powerful tool for social shaping than people realize.
We need to bring back the sense of local responsibility that being a part of a community used to involve. I have no idea how to do this.
Send them to Saudi Arabia since they seem to love their rule of law.
I may not want their coup, but they have the same rights as any other citizen, including a speedy and public trial, and not being subject to cruel and unusual punishments.
The right to a speedy trial is an absolute joke in this country. But in this case I'd like them to actually get it because it means they'll be in prison faster.
Speedy is relative. It's in response to monarchies which would, if they didn't like you but didn't have a case against you, lock you up "pending trial" for the rest of your life. The point was just to prevent that.
Good thing that, uh, doesn't happen anyway. At Guantanamo Bay for instance.
Is it cruel and unusual to exile them to a country that already has the system of government they're trying to implement?
Definitely unusual. Prison is good enough.
Implying America prisons aren't cruel and unusual.
Tolerance goes both ways
Edit: for those downvoting. I'm saying fuck being nice to seditionist terrorists
Not really, check out the Intolerance Paradox. It is damaging to society to tolerate the intolerant.
So, tolerance should really only go one way: Towards the disadvantaged and needy.
All the billionaire fuccbois ruining our government deserve zero tolerance for their immoral and illegal ways.
That's exactly the nature of my comment. OP is saying we should be fair and I say fuck being tolerant to them since they would not hesitate to deny us the same right
