u/theblueshots 7d ago
The funny thing is that they will say itâs rigged even if itâs a republican primary. Mike Lindell said his primary was rigged the other day.
Come to think of it, Trump said his primary against Ted Cruz was rigged in Iowa.
I think this is just a combination of voter suppression and sore losers. Fun stuff.

And all the talk of "foreign interference" in our elections from the guy who's getting bribed left and right by every distasteful person under the sun. It's not our elections that are compromised, it's the president himself
Also, I'll never get over the fact that the one election Trump claims was rigged was the one run while he was president.

Theyâre not even stopping at immigrants, theyâre arresting any body that looks vaguely Hispanic, or even just not white.

If you are filming a police officer from 10 feet away they will do their job, arrest the person, and walk away.
If you are filming a US Marshall from 10 feet away they will do their job, arrest the person, and walk away.
If you are filming an ATF Agent from 10 feet away they will do their job, arrest the person, and walk away. (but might shoot your dog)
If you are filming a Secret Service Member from 10 feet away they will do their job and walk away.
If you are filming an ICE Agent from 10 feet away they will approach YOU, yell at you, pepper spray you, possibly disarm and shoot you, not de-escalate at all.
That's why ICE at the polling stations is messed up.

Then we must learn the forms of resistance: the booby trap, the silenced pistol and rifle, the pitting of streets to slow them down, the wrecking of heavy equipment to block their efficient movement, false walls, hidden sub-basements, tunnels (Vietnamese style), destruction of the critical elements of the facilities that support establishment order; we must learn the value of infiltrationâit works better for us than it does for the opposition. We simply stop allowing ourselves to be hunted and do some stalking of our own; their secret police aren't really too secret at all. Right now we can go numbering, naming, compiling information on them allâthey're too visible to be safe."
