@glitzersachen @Flisty @dannotdaniel @Alice I don't really want to go down the tinfoil hat road, but I would not put it past someone having rigged something this time around, with the weird comments about Pennsylvania, especially, and the fact that a lot of ballots were undervoted. It's all blood under the bridge at this point, though.
@arisummerland @glitzersachen @Flisty @dannotdaniel Agreed! I have my own theories about voter fraud meaning that not as many people voted for Trump as there were votes counted for him, but I don't have any facts so I’m not commenting on it and I'm intentionally leaving it out of the discussion.
Even so, assuming all Trump votes were legitimate, a lot of idiots voted for him and a lot of other jerks didn't use their own votes in a useful way to effectively count against him.
@Alice @arisummerland @glitzersachen @dannotdaniel also massive voter roll purges, affecting mostly POCs using resurrected Jim Crow laws. Greg Palast has been trying to publicise that one. https://www.gregpalast.com/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won/
@Alice @glitzersachen @Flisty @dannotdaniel Yeah... the entire thing was a hot mess.
And now we are a Russian state.
They finally won.
I I guess I'm glad it didn't take them nuking us, BUT... NOT HAPPY.
@arisummerland @glitzersachen @dannotdaniel @Alice very possible. There are a few orgs trying to get proper audits. Look up the Election Truth Alliance and Smart Elections, if you can bear it. Two big things are that in a lot of states Harris got fewer votes than the D senator in EVERY county (and Trump got more), and that if you look at individual tabulators, those that count more votes give Trump 60%, which is... a strange outcome https://youtu.be/swRC_iew9_U https://smartelections.substack.com/p/so-clean
In the tradition of hacking, social engineering is a mainstay - the oldest form of hacking there ever was.
Hacking the US population has been a 50-year endeavor for the super rich and the super racist.
@androcat @arisummerland @glitzersachen @dannotdaniel @Alice I plus I think once they realised they could openly steal it (Bush v Gore) with no consequences, it really ramped up
