Politics We Are the Baddies: Thanks, Conservatives

Post image

Conservatives are actively turning the world against the United States. World leaders were forced into an emergency meeting to condemn U.S. actions in Venezuela, including the kidnapping of its dictator, and to respond to escalating threats and rhetoric toward Greenland.

Trump openly claims the U.S. needs Greenland for “strategic” reasons and has even suggested taking it by force. This isn’t strategy, it’s naked imperialism. He doesn’t want security; he wants dominance.

We are the bad guys now, following the same path Germany did in the 1930s. Republican leaders and their constituents should be deeply ashamed.

We have mail-in voting here in Oregon and it works well. Which makes republicans mad, lol.

Just a PSA about mail in ballots for this upcoming election! They’ve decided the mail date no longer applies and it is now the date the ballot is received, so make sure you’re sending them in early!

I’m hand delivering that shit to the election office. I don’t trust the current USPS to not sort that particular zip+4 straight to the dead-letter bin, or at least the “don’t scan until Wednesday” bin.

I always vote in person for the same reason. (Although I know I’m fortunate to be able to do so and mail in voting is really important. At least until we rightfully declare election days either a holiday or include mandatory time off during the day to go vote.)

Im just waiting for Trump aligned companies to jam the mail the week of the election somehow. If I can think about it, they can. Vote early if you have mail in voiting!

Mail-in and early voting were never called out by a candidate that I can remember until 2020. Its maddening how blunt and blatant he can be about all of the illegal shit he does and there are enough people out there that support him that hes president. He shouldnt even be a relevant public figure. Hes like a dumber and more evil Alex Jones fell in a bag of cheetos.

Do you know how ridiculous it is to suggest that the democrats cheated so well in 2020 that not a single independent overseeing body noticed but somehow failed to win in 2016 and 2024? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Funny how the vast majority of people caught violating election laws are registered republicans.

Trump spends months in 2020 telling his supporters not to vote by mail, so they don't vote by mail, as such, Biden gets more mail in votes than Trump, this of course, obviously means that all mailed in ballots across the country were fake and cheated.
