@Sassafrass_84 @DefiyantlyFree Who, exactly, are you gonna shoot? Anyone who voted Democrat? Politicians?
Result? Charged with murder and locked up for life.

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@bkteig @KodieAKulp @Sassafrass_84 @DefiyantlyFree You mean like: getting the rich to pay their full taxes, providing free health care, taking care of the needy, supporting workers, stopping corporations from price-gouging?
That's humanism, not communism.
The so-called communist countries are dictatorships.

@AnneCab1963 @Sassafrass_84 @DefiyantlyFree It's stacked by Republicans now. Blocking any legislation Biden tries to implement, like border control. Trump says no, so they block it.

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@beggarsticks @Sassafrass_84 @DefiyantlyFree You're talking Trump here. He blames Kamala for everything he intends to do.

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@elonmusk If you're afraid to say you'll vote for Trump,that's telling you something.

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@SussexHenryVIII If, god help us, Trump were to win, how long before the idiot magas say, "Oh my god, what have we done?" when they lose all their rights, have no legal recourse and the National Guard rounding up anyone they suspect if anything at all.

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

Well, there you go.
David Speers at a Trump rally.
So much for the ABC.

[Matt Bevan @MatthewBevan]

What is the point of a Trump rally?
(Some observations from a rally in Macomb County, Detroit, Michigan)
THREAD 🧵
Oh, and for those who doubt I was really there - you can see me in the purple circle standing next to @InsidersABC host David Speers, who came along for the ride.

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@slsandpet That's brilliant!

@mmpadellan @JustBreath1357 MAGA needs to wake up and smell the coffee. There is a reason why everyone in his world gets arrested. He is a mafioso. That’s pretty simple. Anyone who lived in New York City during his rise knows that. You know when he’s lying when he’s opening his mouth. 🤥

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@politvidchannel Hurray!!

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@purplepingers I wish there were more like you. Most of the privileged want to vote in whoever will keep them rich and entitled.
I despair for my state of Queensland.
Murdoch is to blame.

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@grumpyoldfool62 Oh, god. I can't believe that my state has been trashed by the people who want to stay rich.
I can't watch the news any more.
It's all too depressing.

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@MFWitches @QLDLabor I'm outraged at my fellow Queenslanders. I'm devastated.
We live in an over-50s resort. When we visit other residents, they're watching 7 or 9 or Sky. So many drive or walk down to the newsagents for their daily paper.
Unless Albo reins in Murdoch, we're doomed.

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@JayJay91341991 Not these Queenslanders. We're devastated.

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@BonnieLerino If Albo doesn't rein in Murdoch and change media ownership rules, he won't win, either. The right-wing propaganda machine is what the majority tune in to. With the infiltration of the ABC, SBS is all that's left.

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@Baumann_Mac @abcnews You can bet there will be cancellations of solar projects and approvals of more coal and gas fields.

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@RheezzyOG I'm devastated.

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@lesstenny I can't believe it! Back to the dark ages for us. More coal and gas approvals, solar/wind going backwards, more poverty while LNP fat cats get their handouts once again.

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@LakotaMan1 Keep encouraging everyone to be woke.

[Lorraine Bates @Golde64]

@revardin We have ALP, Greens, Independent, Family First, PHON, Legalise Cannabis and the LNP.
Same problem.
