@neusregionalwx My little pocket of Hunterdon County NJ keeps avoiding any severe weather with the last several threats. Some kind of bubble but I am totally fine with it!! Don't need the power outages
@JosuAxol@DataLord9000@kishswim This is actually true. The 2016 election put censorship and all that into overdrive which messed with the culture that existed before that.
@nynjpaweather Listen I am sick of the snow so I am all about you being right and I don't get the people who want more snow. We have had snow cover for like a month. I'm good.
@TonerousHyus Hopefully we can walk and chew gum at the same time with this stuff. We don't need to be ignorant but also need to turn out in massive, absolutely massive, numbers. Not mutually exclusive.
@StevieGhandiz@TonerousHyus That's why there is a whole mantra "too big to rig", which has been being used pretty openly. You overwhelm with votes and they can't do anything untoward without being too obvious. I think that clear to anyone who isn't just too black pilled and those people are far gone anyway.
@TonerousHyus@StevieGhandiz They are just hyper vigilant after what happened in 2020. I don't know why you are so dismissive of it. The massive amounts of overnight ballots back then just reeked of impropriety so people are on edge. Even if they are wrong I appreciate their vigilance.
@TonerousHyus@StevieGhandiz How is them calling out bullshit suppressing their own votes? It is important they are doing this - nothing to do with vote depression. You can't win the game if you don't call out bullshit while ALSO staying ahead of the game in vote tallies.
@LauraLoomer@ScottPresler Which is ironic given we learn about Tammany Hall in school and it wasn't that long ago and we still have political machines, often even more embedded and in some states actually legitimized, than we did back then.
@LauraLoomer@ScottPresler The issue I have found Laura as someone involved with my local GOP is that it takes a certain amount of recognition of what happened in 2020 to fully back Trump, and many Republicans have become afraid to admit that perhaps there was some cheating done in cities.
@SarahisCensored@parent_diaries I completely agree with the premise of this post, but I will caution that sometimes you can have "scoops" and not have any proof to show for something you saw or heard. I realize that isn't "true journalism", but in the age of social media, it adds another layer.
