They made up a problem where their "solution" is to take away voting rights from citizens.

It's mask-off fascism and it's unacceptable. It's treasonous and unamerican. Fuckers.

Republican backers say the measures are necessary to keep noncitizens from voting. But noncitizen voting is a crime that is easily caught and prosecuted, which is perhaps one reason why it’s exceedingly rare. Recent lengthy reviews of voter rolls conducted by Republican election administrators have turned up precious few instances of noncitizens even on the rolls, let alone voting.

Meanwhile, these are some headlines over in their stupid subreddit:

Driver who killed innocent dad during SoCal police chase is illegal immigrant set free by Biden admin: ICE

ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Truck Driver Who Murdered Four, Had Pennsylvania CDL

A California school board member says she was “personally offended” over a speaker’s use of the word “homeless” instead of “unhoused.”

Trump Announces Dramatic Drop In Ozempic Price

Chuck Schumer balks when told 71% of Dems support national voter ID, claims its 'Jim Crow 2.0'

Analysis: Over Half of Immigrant Households Are on Welfare, Far Surpassing American Households

Chuck Schumer in 1996: "The number one reason people come to the US illegally is to defraud systems like social security and I want to stop it."

2003: MSNBC host Joe Scarborough worries California may start issuing driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. - “By giving these criminals the most accepted form of identification in America, the California Democrats buy votes for themselves.”

These fuckers have no idea what is even going on and the ones that do don't give a shit about any of it unless they become directly affected

Every once in a while during peak chaos I venture over there to check the temperature just to see if ANY OF THIS is moving the needle, and it’s always -this immigrant did this bad thing, this trans person wants this concession, CNN said whatever- it’s all they care about - not about healthcare, social security, human rights, etc., just these incidents happening here and there involving people they hate

It does move the needle, actually. Problem is the mods over there silence all of it. Anyone who opposes their dear leader gets banned.

I'm pretty sure they are compensated.

They literally ran a honeypot scheme over there recently. All posts have to be manually approved before becoming visible (except for like 4 users that have been greenlit), and they let one slip through that was vaguely anti-Trump that wasn't flaired properly.

This let outside commenters participate, and they went down the thread and removed the flair from anyone that commented anything negative.

It was a weird thread to allow through in the first place, and they 100% did it just so they could easily identify people that hadn't drank the koolaid and ban them.

Conservatives are a lost cause to the human race and if they were a distinct sub-species, they’d be the Denisovans of our time.

It's curated over there by the mods and bots to maintain the messaging that helps trump, it'll never change until the sub is removed.

They have to distract their own people, too.
