Oh I'm well aware. I've read dozens of articles over 2 decades about the horrors of American e-voting. Every election since their intro could have already been used for fraud at some level, all the way to federal.

The problem is that there isn't some smoking gun to prove it, and there probably never will be. It's better to focus on the anti-democratic flaws in the entire system, especially oligarch/corporate control over politics through bribery — sorry, "donations" — and all other forms of corruption. Those are already proven.

I would have agreed with you up until last week, where the Aussie conservatives (including all MAGA/cooker parties) had their greatest defeat since the 1940's.

Australia is definitely not immune, but the best defence against fascism appears to be the consequences of fascism. Thanks America! Now fix your shithole cuntry.

All the evidence I've seen to date is shaky at best. The strongest evidence is how brazenly they have acted since taking office, indicating the type of confidence you'd expect after already successfully subverting democracy, but they've been already successfully subverted democracy for decades with the endless stream of disinformation and propaganda... I still haven't recovered from the migrant caravans or Obamas tan suit.

Because the bulk of Democrats are owned and financed by the same oligarchs funding Republicans/Trump — America is (functionally equivalent to) a corporate dictatorship, merely masquerading as a democracy, and has been for many decades.

That first article is disingenuous MSM propaganda; claiming the investigations of Trump staff were similar to the Red Scare is disgusting. I'm not defending the FBI's crimes, but investigating suspects much longer than the evidence should allow is completely different to destroying the lives of thousands of people associated with suspected leftists. The situations are not even remotely equivalent.

And that second articles MAGA mental illness is made clear in the first few sentences.

Find better sources. Stop injecting cult propaganda into your veins.

Everything they've done since Jan makes sense when viewed from the perspective that they never plan on facing consequences, accountability, or fair elections ever again.

Just casual terrorism. Perfectly normal non-fascist behaviour.

Do not interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake.

So yes, Australian conservatives should def go full MAGA, then they will die and future elections will be between the neolibs and an actual leftist party.

Nothing screams greatness and leadership like being a spineless weasel

Fascist speech absolutism at work

And believing these psychopathic criminals is mental illness

Greed
