I think it's important everyone know that the people behind these anti-democracy bills are the same people behind all the anti-UBI bills. Everyone should know the billionaire name Uihlein.

FGA.

Yeah, they're weirdos. Ran into an article from them talking about why states should ban UBI experiments, and it's a doozy. Even goes on about protecting "work culture."

The slow-rolling coup is still chugging away, as the accelerated coup hits a bit of hits a bit of turbulence.

A typo, but I kinda like the thematic effect it produced.

It had to be a blue wave for us to get control.

I am once again begging red state voters who want Dem policies to simply vote for Dem candidates

This would be easier without so much voter disenfranchisement. The issue isn't always the voters, it's who's allowed to/who is counted.

Had my own vote tossed for no reason they could give me before I moved out of Texas.

So no, it's not that simple.

Yup. They had my signature for over 30 years for voting. Suddenly my signature isn't close enough to my signature anymore?

I have a sleek, stylish new respirator. And I can stand if necessary. (New state not much better. But I have to go pack up my TX life to totally be free of them.)

In Washington State the Republicans abuse the initiative laws to put forward toxic legislation that doesn’t pass legal muster and would never get through the hearing process.

You need more context in this. Take Florida, for instance. Look at what DeSantis led GOP has done for years:

The MS Supreme Court completely took away our Ballot Initiative over a population dip that turns out was just a math mistake.

The Republican Party had, without a doubt, become the greatest threat to America in its history. They are our nazis in almost every way.

bammax.itch.io•15 hours ago

It was bad enough as it was that empirically, the GOP has been a net harm to American society and prosperity for, at minimum, the last 60 years. Their fascist devolution is simultaneously outrageous and completely expected.

Of you still vote Republican then you are a fool that likes to be clown on and deserves the consequences of your choice. The terrible thing is that you are taking everyone else down with you.

mxhrad.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yet those same voters somehow, repeatedly vote for the Republicans that are undermining their wills. This isn’t a Republican issue as much as whatever the fuck the pathology is of these voters repeatedly choosing the worst people in the world to represent them.

Vote every single conservative OUT!
