I always point to the Alabama Senate election between Roy Moore and Doug Jones. Roy Moore, known pedophile, vs. normal Democrat. Far too many conservatives went on record saying "better than a Democrat".

They are so anti-pedophile until suddenly they're not. What a disgusting thing to change your opinion on, person to person.

Yes. Spelunking in the log factory.

Self hosting as well. navidrome and an android app like symfonium and you can do anything.

I haven't tried it personally, but have heard good things:

I feel like Vietnam veterans who were objectors could fall in this category. Plenty of them were forced to go. In the end, anyone who was drafted and didn't want to be would have some level of understanding from me.

This is what is referred to as anecdotal evidence. Go read up on voter suppression and gerrymandering.

They're emboldened. You're assuming they care and people play by the rules. This is all about breaking political norms.

Let's say, for example, Trump wrote an EO that said "State and Federal employees don't have to marry gay people if it's against their faith". Remember Kim Davis? A person who did that unprompted by the POTUS. There's plenty of asshats like her in important county positions around the country.

Given the success of recent Democratic elections, sometimes swinging districts by 20 points in previous Trump districts for the win...all it takes is some people in some key places to do some nefarious shit.

You don't know if you won't have issues or not. Their whole goal is to create issues.

Live in a black area of a county in GA? Close down the polling station.

Look Hispanic near a polling station? Maybe ICE tackles you and arrests you for no reason.

Woman and your name doesn't match? No vote.

It's really not hard to understand what they're trying to do. Whites don't have more rights than you on paper. They would love to change that, and they start by bending and then breaking the law.

Wrong kind of bones guys.

Or babysitting. "Stuck babysitting again, haha?". Nope, just walking around with my child like any other parent.

They go nuts on people who do comply. They give conflicting instructions and then punish you when you don't comply. ICE will ask for your ID and then walk away with it and never give it back.

They are all human garbage fires and I can't wait for Nuremberg 2.0.
