The election is specifically designed so that there's no evidence of fraud if fraud is committed. In the case of ambiguity and vauge fuckery which is what we got, everyone is going to give their side the benefit of the doubt.
I'm sorry man, but the fuckery wasn't vague nor ambiguous this time. I'd list off all the reasons for the umpteenth time I've done so in the past few weeks but at this point I'm tired of bringing it up.
We have crossed the line of recovery though.. America is a powder keg of people all living in their own curated little worlds of personal propaganda diverging further and further from each other. Every day that goes by with our minds consumed by politics, the average person gets more extreme. every day that goes by with the listlessness of lockdown, the average person gets more restless for violence, every day that goes by with more people being fired or furloughed, unable to meet new people, unable to find a purpose, more people get willing to be violent. I can't see 2021 getting calmer after this. We're going full italian years of lead if not full boog if the lockdowns last any longer.
It's not even that though. One side of the political landscape has carte blanche to do and say almost anything whilst the other has been stifled, slandered, and stomped down the gutter to the point that you
couldn't support the sitting president by wearing a fucking hat without fear of physical violence at random. One side painting the other as worse than Satan, worse than Hitler, worse than any other dictatorial regime and it's cronies in human history for the very crime of defying their ideology. That's what has made this powder-keg situation, in my eyes. What has set this all off was the blatant partisan politics at play with the COVID outbreak. Idiots, equally as ideologically driven and empty-headed as the "revoke 230" Trump supporters and for the same reasons, supporting en masse ridiculously draconian measures for a communicable disease with a survival rate over 90% simply because the people they didn't like pointed out how absolutely retarded it was.
This playing with people's lives for politics, it's what has set this off. The snowball only started rolling down the hill though when the riots broke out and the same people telling businesses they couldn't open, parents that their children couldn't go to school, people who were laid off that their sacrifice was necessary as they go broke, that somehow being a rioter protects you from the coof was where this pot started to boil. To cap it off with the absolute brazen fuckery that happened on election night and to have the entire media and political apparatus of the country - the entire establishment, essentially - come together in a
"bipartisan effort" I guess you could say - to tell people "shut up, the populist candidate lost fair and square, if you don't ignore the obvious fuckery you're on the same mental plane as Qtards" was the lit match on the poured dynamite trail leading to the packed keg full of gunpowder.
I'm sure the icing on the cake for some, as it was for me, was the sudden calls for "unity" and to "come together" now that their perceived (and thankfully to many, now known as only perceived rather than actual) opposition is now firmly in power. If there's one thing from all of this that I can say warms the cold cockles of my heart, it's that the uniparty made a massive misstep in thinking that showing "bipartisanship" would placate the masses as it did decades ago. It took damn long enough, and way too blatant of a showing in my opinion, for a shitload of people to finally realize that the uniparty is real and voting for either republicans or democrats only gives legitimacy to two parties so rife with corruption it'd make a middle eastern theocratic dictatorship blush. Bonus points for a lot of people finally realizing that Fox is no different than CNN.
What that had done, however, that I'm not quite sure I'm happy about, is unshackled the previously de-clawed and de-fanged right wing from the narrative that they need to "take the high road". That version of politics where the right wing just sits and takes it is lost to time at this point and I'm unsure if that's necessarily a good thing.
My position is: there was fraud, but nobody who could have done anything about it did despite months of the play being telegraphed, so the Republicans deserve to lose and the Democrats deserve their place in the cockpit of this plane that is about to crash (with no survivors).
Forgive me if I'm not okay with living in what will essentially (and quickly) become a Banana Republic, and thinking that "the Republicans" didn't want this to happen is naive. I've said it before but at this point the two parties should just drop the charade, become a single party, and make their official mascot the elephant and the donkey vigorously sucking each other's cocks.
