When you give everyone the right to vote.. that's what happens.

Sick as it may sound.. maybe critical thinking tests are required to renew people's voting licenses.
No thanks. We already have enough voter suppression and gerrymandering. I'd prefer everyone that can vote be required to by law. National holiday perhaps? Too many on the sidelines that need to get in the game.

You know.. I think there's enough evidence world wide where voting is done on national holidays and it leads to exactly the same outcome.. the stupid people outvote the ones that can critically think.

And Trump wouldn't have become POTUS if it wasn't for the women vote.. women who were happy to give up their rights.

That's why I'm not completely sold on that more people voting will solve problems. More critical thinking will solve problems but we're not in the age of enlightenment and reason anymore. If anything that time seems like a mirage in a desert of stupidity.

Is there any hope for these people?


Eddie J. Rosa, 43, a USPS electronics technician and veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Army Reserves, and the Ohio National Guard, said his wife, Mireya Alexandra Blancarte Marquez, was arrested on August 11. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Newsweek that Blancarte Marquez was detained due to a visa overstay and allegedly lying to Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Rosa, who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, described his wife being handcuffed, perp-walked, and paraded in front of the public "like a common criminal."

"My wife has absolutely no criminal record of any kind in this country or Mexico. As a fervent believer in our constitutional republic, I felt violated and disrespected," Rosa told Newsweek.

“This was not only disrespectful but also a slap in the face to my family," he said.

"The CBP officer who detained her behaved less than professionally," Rosa said.

HOWEVER…

The veteran said he does not regret his vote for President Donald Trump. Sound familiar? https://www.newsweek.com/trump-voter-regret-choice-wife-ice-bradley-bartell-camila-munoz-2046988
With that confession, I might think that he was already on an affair with someone else and wanted to kick the wife out... and this situation was perfect for him. Let's see what happens next, I hope that I am dead wrong, because if it ends to be real... he would be definately a bastard and not to be trusted by anyone who are not like him.

Expecting the idiotic trumpist saying that this is good since there will be less soy boys and they should plant corn or wheat and start to produce more and more meat, not chicken , not fish, only beef.

I expect them to get to know a very famous Chinese proverb:

食屎屙飯

"Eat shit and die!"

BTW people voted for this:

Didn't watch, but:
"The county administration in Douglas County, Georgia, is recommending a 31% millage rate increase for 2025.
The proposal follows three straight years of a frozen millage rate starting in 2020, and rollbacks in each of the past two years. The proposal would raise the millage rate by 3.7 mills. According to the county finance department, a home assessed at $250,000 would be taxed $1,482 — more than $300 higher than the current rate."

And then the comments section is predictably full of gibbering morons, wailing about how property tax is theft, or "WHERE DOES THIS MONEY EVEN GO?" (I'm pretty sure every property tax statement I've gotten had a breakdown of where the money goes), or "I don't even have kids!"

They will receive a fully-funded bailout package before the fiscal year is over(funded largely by blue state tax revenues and funds stolen from FEMA and USAID) but it will be conditioned on eliminating mail-in ballots. Watch this space.

Oh, they got started working on it as soon as Herr Trump took office. Seems like a weird state to bother with voter suppression in given the incredibly small number of electoral votes they've provided to Democrats, but, you know, fascists gonna fash.

Also from Pillen who seems to like Trumps trade policy:
Title of the piece from 6 months ago: "Trump’s trade policy will save US farmers"

I think this counts.

"I made a good living there but I am not happy that I am this sick. And there are people who worked there that are sicker than me," Hicks, 70, said in an interview with Reuters.
Assembling the petitions is a complicated process. It can take years to gather the thousands of pages of evidence required to document the causes of 22 types of cancer the U.S. government recognizes as associated with radiation exposure at its nuclear workplaces.

Now Hicks' effort to win benefits and compensation for him and thousands of nuclear workers is in limbo after the HHS suspended indefinitely the expert medical bodies charged with reviewing those claims, according to interviews with 18 former workers, board members and administration officials.
And some of Hicks' petitioners do not have time to wait.
While Hicks did get medical coverage earlier for kidney cancer, he is now seeking assistance for treating skin cancer.

Hicks - who voted for Donald Trump - said he has sent dozens of letters to the president, Tennessee's senators and lawmakers in other states with major weapons facilities. "I've contacted politicians and the White House and haven't heard anything back."
The suspension of the board and its impact on the claims processes has not been previously reported.
The CDC, an agency of HHS, confirmed the indefinite suspension, but did not provide further details about the future of the board.
Letting cancer devastate your body to own the libs.

The problem with all of these cases is they impact relatively small numbers, and it seems that for most of them, they still support Dear Leader Trump, even after the leopards eat their face.

So even if there are real elections again (future looks dim on that), I don't think seeing negative consequences of their votes will translate into a return to sane government.
