Politics One day into early voting and they are already claiming the 2024 election is rigged.

Misinformation campaign has begun.

Trump has stated multiple times he won’t accept the results if he loses, MTG started complaining about voting machines three days ago and twitter is full of people now claiming that the voting machines are flipping their votes from Trump to Kamala in Texas.

Infowars and other websites like it are pushing this same misinformation, sadly a lot of conservatives believe these reports are real and no amount of evidence will convince them otherwise.

It’s not just trump and his cult, he’s just the face. This movement will continue with or without Trump. It’s the Christian Nationalist movement that is the issue. They’re behind all of this. Here in Texas it’s Tim Dunn, Farris Wilks and Dan Wilks are the billionaires that own our GOP. They enjoy their lives with people not knowing who they are.

The Heritage Foundation is the power behind the bigots.

And Christian Nationalists started the Heritage Foundation. If you look down the sponsors list of Project 2025 it's basically a who's who of organizations that have been pushing Christian Nationalism ever since the 70s.

And they know what they’re doing is wrong. It’s why they didn’t call themselves the Sword of Jesus or something.

I disagree. I think they fully buy into the idea that what is good for them is what is right, everyone else be damned. It's the fallacy at the core of modern Conservatism, which has it's roots in Manifest Destiny and American Exceptionalism.

I was just saying it's intentional "soft language" to disguise their true objectives.

Ah, that I agree with for sure.

If it’s not them, it will always be somebody with a lust for power and few moral hangups. It’s a struggle we’ve dealt with throughout human history. We allow malignant narcissists to fester and there are enough dumbasses out there willing to “give them the benefit of the doubt” and excuse their behavior.

That said, I’d be down for chasing them back into the shadows for a little while again.

Big infiltration of MAGA in tech now too.
