What is in this article that we didn't already know? Is there any new legislation in process of being passed? This just sounds like the same playbook we used for the 2024 election to me.

This is what Alligator Auschwitz is really for.

America, your opportunity to stop this is narrowing and walking around with signs once a month on a weekend isn't gonna do it.

Every week, more people show up. I’m involved in local politics besides.

You’re slamming people for being involved. They are doing something being out there.

Forming connections at low stakes events like protests is exactly what people need to do. That lot talks like anyone who doesn't buy an AK and a red beret first thing is just wasting time.

Those people have been watching too many Hollywood movies. The next step after a protest march isn't going in guns blazing. It's holding an actual protest where you shut things down. Look at how the French do it. Organize. Resist. Disobey. Disrupt.

trump is getting more and more desperate as the days go on, when epstein files arnt released, and mounting pressure and more evidence showing up about his pedophelia, the tariffs arnt really distracting as it use to be, Also its not like elections were free or fair to begin with, significant tampering has been done by the gop on local,state and presidential for a while.

That was a very weird article...

To the point I googled the source and apparently it's a 90 year old Maxist-Leninist newspaper. Which kind of explains the writing style and lack of sources.

They do have "left" lean, but it always feels off because those people also are super into authoritarianism. So it's less about presenting enough for someone to understand and form an opinion, and more like telling their readers an opinion along with a few facts that were found after the fact to be used to defend it.

To be clear; Trump's 1500% going to try and steal the election, but everyone already knows that. There is zero new information on the article and I'm pretty sure everyone that didn't vote for trump has came to the same conclusion...

Marxist/Leninists writing just always gives me something like the uncanny valley feeling. I don't care how it's dressed up, or if the person speaking/writing agrees with my existing opinion, I can't fucking stand them. I guess it's "the ick"

Better sources have been covering all of this for months already.
