So wait, can we gerrymander a state to get 51% GOPers elected and then re-gerrymander a state so the 49% of other representatives are now in solidly red districts then sue to have those elections overturned so we can achieve 100% representation of a party with a minority of popular support?
American democracy is so innovative, I don’t think any other country has innovated so hard!
Pass a law in a few places that the state legislature can overrule the state results for president
Those states are enough to pick the president we want
President then fires all federal law enforcement or administrative official who's not loyal to him, replaces them from the Project 2025 binders, and just announces deployment of the military in the US and that anyone who's against him is illegal and goes to prison or shot
Bingo bango. More direct, less complicated, more permanent, nationwide results. Your thinking was along the right lines but too rules-based. Takes too long. Not enough innovative enough within the current system.
The fact that people still fail to understand this when the playbook is very literally available online in full form baffles and infuriates me. Like, there are Republicans who are doing things now that are in - or will very obviously enable specific goals listed in - that plan. They’re not even trying to hide it anymore.
"We hope Judge Jones will not further delay justice by appealing but, instead, face Harris County voters in a new election when ordered by the court,” Simpson said in a statement.
Appeal that shit. Then, appeal that appeal and push it till the November elections when people will be voting anyway.
Binding legal precedent us only set by appeals court rulings. If this is appealed and upheld, THAT will be a precedent setting. Otherwise, judges can pretty much ignore this case and rule on similar cases with similar facts in a way they see fit.
The signs held in the pic have terrible kerning and uninspired font choices. And guess what, I like it that way – a banner displaying corporate professionalism would indicate astroturfing.
In your legalized sex brothels, do you legally have to pay a portion of your paycheck to the house? If you’re working for yourself, do you have to purchase a license from the government, and do your own taxes and all that on your income?
It depends on the contract between the brothel and the sex worker, a normal employment where you get paid by the brothel and your taxes are deducted automatically is possible, but it will probably mostly be freelance, with the worker paying the brothel for services rendered; in some establishments, you pay 5-30€ flat-tax per day (with receipt), which the brothel paying that to the state and you do your taxes at the end of the year and then get a tax return (or have to pay more).
woelkchen@lemmy.world posted this, which gives a good overview:
Man, dumb shit like this makes me want to let the leopards they want to vote for eat their faces.
I’m white, male, solidly middle-aged. I can look like a neo-con magat if I need to. Shit, as long as the only thing I’m talking about is guns, most people will probably think I am a neo-con. Most people aren’t going to recognize my tattoos, so they’ll be able to believe that I’m some kind of christian fucko, esp. since I know the bible far better than most evangelicals.
I survived Trump’s first term without too many direct negative effects. I’m old enough that I’m not the one that’s going to be well and truly fucked when climate change slams into the US like a derailed freight train. I haven’t had to worry about accidentally getting someone pregnant in 30 years, so rights to choose and access to birth control have zero direct affect on me. I can let dumb fucks burn their own house down around them, and it’s not going to directly harm me.
…But goddamn, I still want to save those idiots from themselves, because I don’t want to live in the country that Trump and Republicans want this to be.
This is just a terribly written headline. The problem is, if you changed the headline, there wouldn’t even be a story.
There’s a fairly large group of Arabs in that area, and some of them might vote for Trump. This is not surprising. If you live in the area, it might even be worth reading more about why they would support Trump. One could try to discuss their positions and see if they really think that Trump would do better or worse than Biden.
It is often mentioned but needs to be repeated here, because the same mistake was made yet again… Any time you try to blame one small group for the outcome of an election, you’re just wrong. Everyone who votes, or doesn’t vote, everyone who campaigns, who supports people campaigning, everyone who creates or runs the systems that assemble and count votes, they all play a role in determining the outcome.
No you’re wrong, a few thousand edgy lunatics totally decided the 2016 general election, the one where Trump literally lost the popular vote while corporate Dems ignored historic battlegrounds and popular policies, instead assuming it was their turn to win.
Liberals seriously can’t see how much they are embarrassing themselves and revealing their true nature.
Always talking about nice sound bites, kindness, and world peace while stabbing you in the back as soon as it’s time to make laws and just sitting back while police kill you.
Completely chilling while Zionists kick you out of university for peaceful protest, making kids homeless thousands of miles from home with no money and ruining their education. Think of the economy!
The same people that feel so bad for the homeless but have no problem with NIMBYism and never actually help or vote for helpers.
The slow realization that liberals will welcome fascism if it means they can step over your dead body to get Starbucks tomorrow is absolutely fucking chilling.

The kicker on their hippy-punching cheerleading is that there’s perfect examples of kumbaya liberalism in the universities that negotiated. They didn’t even necessarily commit to divestment, just all came together and talked with empathy to resolve an issue with people that even in the liberal manufactured consent framing are at worst being misled. But liberalism isn’t actually their driving ethos, it’s maintaining power for themselves and for existing structures, and for that, hippy punching is exactly the result they want. The protesters’ greatest sin isn’t some trumped up charge of antisemitism, it’s challenging their superiors.
