acetanilide , in Arizona Republican becomes first fake elector to plead guilty for role in Trump scheme

I still don’t think I quite understand how this scheme was supposed to work. Can someone ELI5?

skozzii ,

They wanted to cause enough controversy so that Mike Pence could not certify the results and they could point to the few states they attempted this scheme in. This Arizona part of the scheme is step 1.

So basically…

  1. Find a few States to make up “voter fraud” in, and flood the courts with made-up voter fraud challenges.
  2. Mike Pence says, well because of all these issues there is clearly potential fraud so I won’t certify the election results.
  3. Trump remains president and then takes the next steps to ensure he remains president and dictator .

The whole plan was a complete success except step 2, Mike Pence didn’t go along with the plan, so that’s when Trump ordered his supporters to attack the capital on Jan.6 to prevent the certification that way, which also failed.

I really don’t like Mike Pence but he single handedly saved America that day.

acetanilide ,

Thanks! This is helpful.

Yeah, he gained a lot (little) of respect from me that day. The bar was low, but still.

Delusional ,

He saved it that day only for trump to continue to get away with multiple crimes that should see him locked away in prison forever. And then continue on to try and steal the election again in 2024 while constantly telling his followers that Democrats are the ones that are cheats who are stealing elections without any fucking irony whatsoever. And his dumbass followers are too far gone to even try to figure out the truth so we’ll be seeing an even bigger effort from them to steal the election yet again.

It’s just completely fucking stupid that people are being charged and locked up for crimes they committed at the command of a massive piece of shit and yet that massive piece of shit is somehow not responsible for the crimes he commanded others to do.

worldwidewave , in "The Olympics of lying": Pete Buttigieg blasts Trump for verified 162 lies told at recent presser

He can’t help it, after a lifetime of lying it’s like breathing for him now. In his deteriorating condition, the exaggerations are bigger (his crowds now outnumber the million man march) and the lies are more frequent.

JimSamtanko , in MAGA fans call for boycott of Dunkin Donuts: ‘The Bud Lite treatment’

Please don’t call them fans. That humanizes them.

Eggz , in For these voters, Tim Walz is a reminder of their dad - before they were lost to partisan division

This supports my theory that left wingers are often born out of households with weak or absent fathers

machinin ,

So you’re saying most father’s that turned into MAGA fanatics were weak or absent when their children were young? I don’t know how to interpret it otherwise.

Kampfkrapfen_Backup ,

Lol alright Mr Freud, and right wingers are born out of a lack of unconditional motherly love, or what?

Noobnarski ,

Change it out for a lack of positive perspective for the future and you might even be right.

Thats maybe why the empty promises work to begin with.

prole ,

Oh nice, so you’re collecting evidence for a theory? I’m sure you’ve stated your formal hypothesis, and are devising a way to test it?

Do you know what peer review journal you were going to submit it to yet? I’d love to read it when you’re done.

Yeah not too keen on having Professor Umbridge back.

usernamesAreTricky , in Betsy DeVos, Who Quit Trump Admin, Says She’d Serve Again if Trump Wins

Republicans want the entire department of education gone. It’s in project 2025, and they keep repeating it as she did right now

She then proceeded to say she was open to the idea “only if it was with the goal of phasing out the Department of Education as we tried to do through budgetary process in the first administration

They want to gut public education at the expense of anyone living in the US

Can’t have a smart and informed electorate if your plan is to create a fundamentalist religious kingdom where the king is chosen by god and is infallible.

TheBigBrother , in Young Jewish man stabbed in NYC by attacker yelling ‘Free Palestine’

Antisemitism isn’t equal to antizionism…

the_crotch ,

Stabbing a random Jew in NYC is antisemitism, even if you claim you did it because of Israel

Israel’s blatant disregard for life is inflaming antisemitism and making life actively more dangerous for Jews abroad that have nothing to do with Israel’s genocide.

Fedizen ,

For Israel this is a benefit: more colonists to load into illegal settlements filled with dead palestinians

Another one of those private school maga cunts trying to ruin public schools?

No, same one as before.

There’s way more than just one. We have 2 on my kids school board.

The prediction markets heavily favor Kamala at the moment. It’s a ridiculously large edge, too. To be fair, Hillary Clinton was heavily favored by the prediction markets during the 2016 race, it was only during the midst of election night it flipped.

Bonesince1997 ,

Wow. Down to the wire. Not very helpful at predicting anything in that case.

TransplantedSconie ,

Clinton didn’t have what’s happening behind her run like Harris has right now. Huge energy, young voters excited, and thousands of volunteers signing up to help in swing states.

That being said

I graduated from an ed program just as Trump appointed this loser. Tons of people signed a letter condemning her and asking our school to do the same, but we got the canned admin response of “not getting involved in politics”.

ABCDE ,

Yet it gets involved in education. Horrific.

manuallybreathing , in For these voters, Tim Walz is a reminder of their dad - before they were lost to partisan division

Reminds me of my dad in the sense that i get a bad vibe and i dont trust him to not beat me the second i raise a concern lol

I truly have no idea what you’re trying to say.

BigPotato ,

The N-word.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

Er… neighbor again?

I know what we are aiming for, I just can’t see how starting at neighbor helps.

Oderus ,

Naggers?

BigPotato ,

Daddy only said that word because he thought he was going to win a lot of money.
