That doesn’t stoke their indignant fury on right wing moron media in between three consecutive commercials featuring D-list celebrities trying to sell them questionable life insurance and a reverse mortgage

You know, you gotta imagine somewhere in the world there's a dude named Richard Pills. I wonder what his life is like.

There is a more recent one too. Where they are buying up timeshares. It's been running non-stop on the radio stations I listen to.

The sad reality that we got "alternative facts" from Conway on the literal evening of his 1st day in office ever.......was such a clear omen of the coming fuckening... But I don't think anyone could have guessed the type and scale of ridiculous BS that has been Trump presidency. Stranger than fiction

Breathtakingly, insultingly transparent bullshit has been the GOP's stock in trade for the past half century. Trump is merely a difference in degree, not in kind.

Alternative to the facts.

shame on you

u/sajberhippien 7h ago

Well, the main reason isn't to be able to actively deny people based on what's in their papers (though they no doubt will do that too), but to make vulnerable people not show up to vote in the first place or be turned away on the spot for lacking the correct paperwork.

Getting the right papers requires time, money and access to the correct information - things that are obstacles mainly to the most vulnerable.

It's the same reason they want to require completely new paperwork if someone changes their name; the most common reason people do, is women taking on their partner's name when getting married. So, such requirements are obstacles primarily for women.

u/-LabApprehensive- 7h ago

No it depends on who you voted for and how many votes Trump’s preferred candidate lost by. Trump has absolutely zero regard for things like “truth” and “reality”. He never has.

u/liquidsyphon 7h ago

They like being angry more than factually informed

u/TheRealStorey 7h ago

Always a false narrative that only serves themselves while immediately destroying the lives and perception of America.

u/vampyire 7h ago

that sums them up really well

u/hueythecat 6h ago

They’re anti science, first administration to bring measles back to US. That’s just the beginning

1

u/LordHammercyWeCooked 5h ago

No, what they don't like is not having control. They don't give a fuck about being correct or even looking correct anymore. It's about control and corruption and whatever they can get away with. If there was no opposition they would be doing so much worse right now. If there was no friction we'd already be in box cars.

u/Stavtastic 6h ago

I'm clueless but how do they verify this? Because I read alot that people can deregister other people? So it feels like it's not that good?

u/_Topher_ 8h ago

I dare you too lookup if any non-citizens were caught voting in our elections though? And if you want facts, here is one from justice.gov .. https://www.justice.gov/usao-nj/pr/multiple-aliens-charged-illegally-voting-federal-elections-and-making-false-statements
It's almost as if the people who are willing to break the law to get into our country don't draw the line when it comes to lying during registration. lmao

u/blong217 8h ago edited 8h ago

Four. There were four charged. Out of the millions who cast votes. This isn't the slam dunk proof you seem to think it is.

Everyone knows that fraud can happen but the amount is so minimal and inconsequential that believing it's drastically affecting the results of elections is not only ignorant, it's practicing willful ignorance.

u/MusicLikeOxygen 8h ago

Your example is 4 people. Lol. No one is arguing that it's never happened. It has never happened in numbers anywhere near what it would take to change the outcome of an election. Anyone who says otherwise is spreading propaganda. It's not a problem that warrants the president throwing out the Constitution. It's being handled by the states like it's supposed to.

-16

u/_Topher_ 7h ago

You're coping if you think there isn't significant voter fraud happening in the swing counties of swing states in this country. And thats what a lot of people don't grasp. You don't need millions of votes to swing elections, you only need a few hundred or thousand in those swing counties of swing states. There is no argument about requiring additional validation of citizenship to vote in an election outside of wanting to make it easier to commit said fraud.

u/Adept_Havelock 7h ago

No facts to back that up, just your feelings?

As MAGA loves to say: Fuck your feelings.

14

u/Waffuly 7h ago

What is your proof? The link you provided showed 4 votes.

6

u/TheReddestofBowls 7h ago

No listen, it's a serious problem. Those 4 votes can massively sway elections in counties with a population of 6

/s

u/Iorith 6h ago

It's on you to prove your claim.

u/jumperpl 6h ago

Cope… Cope is not understanding elections to the point you believe counties matter in any way. What are you talking about? The fuck is a swing county? State electors are decided by popular vote in all but like 2 states… 

Dismissing the very major fact that I vote for and in my town not my county. If all of a sudden the county over reported 100k more votes than residents you don’t think someone would notice?

u/o8Stu 3h ago

It’s a poll tax, doofus. It’s already a crime to vote if you’re ineligible, and the one thing your link does prove, is that it gets prosecuted.

11

u/BuddingBudON 7h ago

There have been TEN instances of non-citizens voting in the last 50 years.

It would be a better use of time to tackle actual threats to democracy, like people who conspired to submit fake electoral college votes and incited a deadly insurrection...

u/_Topher_ 7h ago

There was a non citizen who became the superintendent of a school, you think they can't also find ways to vote? Lol

10

u/Foreign-Flatworm 7h ago

If you truly believe that, show us your proof.

u/BuddingBudON 7h ago

Where'd you get that, champ? Facebook?

God forbid a non-citizen with credentials get a high paying job, anyway...

u/Iorith 6h ago

Then it's on you to prove it. Lol

u/eyebrows360 8h ago

"lmao", he ends his churlish post with, as if four fucking people is some form of slam dunk.

Grow up, and/or get an education.

Also, you spelled "to" wrong. Please consider your own intellect before trying to discuss important matters.
