2016 election Republicans made Muslims the problem.

2018 election Republicans made the Black people the problem.

2020 election Republicans made the Chinese the problem.

2022 election Republicans made Trans people the problem.

2024 election Republicans make Mexicans and Central Americans the problem.

Seeing a trend here. Can’t put my finger on it.

Oh all of the above have been “the problem” as long as I’ve been alive, at the same time.

It’s almost like it isn’t everyone else that’s the problem

forgotmylastusername ,

The “first they came for…” quote is probably more damaging than people realize. They don’t systematically make more different people the problem. Everyone is fair game at all times whenever it’s opportune.

Anything to avoid having actual policies and ideas.

When they write down their stances, it’s a scandal. See how unpopular (and terrifying) Project 2025 is.

RangerJosie ,

They have nothing real to run on. They never do. But idiots will work themselves into a lather over shit that doesn’t happen like this.

All they have is engineered outrage and grievance politics. And the chuds will eat it up.

FundMECFSResearch ,

They really create issues out of thin air.

There’s an amendment on the ballot here in Missouri to ban non-citizens from voting this year. Also to ban ever adopting ranked choice voting, but it’s really about that non-citizen thing. Totally not ballot candy to do something undemocratic.

If you’re in Missouri, vote no on amendment 7 please.

I intend to.

Isn’t it already illegal to vote as a non-citizen?

And when voter fraud is found… It’s Republicans.

“If I feel like I could justify doing it then that means they can do the same so I better do it to compensate for them doing it!” But the truth is, the other side isn’t doing it…

because the goal is to end voting for citizens

someguy3 ,

They always try to (need to?) turn things into a binary. Yes or no. It’s a question of how many, but they find one and act like it’s everywhere.

Same thing with the one woman killed by an illegal immigrant. They find the case study and act like it’s everywhere.

In San Francisco, a resolution was passed allowing undocumented residents who had children to vote legally in school board elections and no one voted. My guess is that even if officially invited to vote, an undocumented person isn’t going to just give the government their name and address. So yeah, Republicans are just conjuring up yet another conspiracy theory to rattle what they themselves call “low information voters”, aka their base.

FlashMobOfOne OP ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Agreed. I can’t see undocumented people risking their lives trying to vote.

Illegal voting by noncitizens is far less more rare than illegal voting by conservatives.

Edit: Oops, I got my modifier wrong because I switched up the order halfway through the comment.

MotoAsh ,

No, it’s far less common, not less rare.

Nougat ,

Gah, my coffee to blood ratio is still too low.

I was coming here to ask this very thing. Weren’t most instances of fraud perpetrated by the republican chodes anyway? It’s pretty simple: they know they can’t win fairly, so everything has to be a convoluted shit-show with absolutely no substance whatsoever.

They’re beating this drum now so they can claim the election was stolen by “illegals” voting in swing districts. They just need to (at a minimum) challenge a couple thousand votes in 2-3 states.

FlashMobOfOne OP ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

You’re right. They’re trying to gin up the specter of voter fraud in case they lose. No one voting Republican needs proof anyway.

Sludgehammer ,
@Sludgehammer@lemmy.world avatar

Don’t forget the voter suppression before the election. They’ll have long list of blue voters that must be purged because maybe one of them is illegally voting.

DarkCloud ,

There’s a this American Life episode about this, starts off being about the birthday paradox… Gives a good run down of how voter fraud has been disproven as an issue:

Years ago the ACLU actually had Kris Kobach’s records on voter fraud cases from when he was KS Attorney General. I pored over them, and over fifteen years of reports he prosecuted something like ten cases affecting even fewer votes.

And that’s a guy who built his whole career around voter fraud. Even he couldn’t produce evidence that it actually existed.

Those records may still be on the ACLU’s website if any of you want to take a look.

In their mind they literally can’t accept that more people disagree with them then not, and this is the only way they can accept it

FlashMobOfOne OP ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

You’re right about that.

zephorah ,

It’s the only thing they’ve got, to explain conservative losses. Distracts from the perpetual popular vote losses.
