Senior presidential adviser Kari Lake appears to have resolved any doubts about what she wants to do with the Voice of America.
Lake seeks for it to look and sound a lot like the far-right One America News Network: on Tuesday night she announced that she had struck a deal to serve up the pro-Trump outlet’s news reports for Voice of America’s foreign audiences, at no taxpayer cost.
Given how they’re fucking with the electoral mechanics and bureaucracies, I’m honestly becoming pretty convinced that they have no real intention of allowing free and fair elections to ever occur in this country again.
Vive la resistance, I guess? :(
At this point I say we make them do it or lose. And if they go through with it, we simply have to start killing people until they stop.
I don’t want that to be the case, but I think it is. What’s most important is we continue contesting the fuck out of them at every possible point. Accepting that they’re going to rig the process only makes it easier for them and suppresses the fight after.
Nobody is resisting though. We are just letting it happen.
Americans have been beaten down
I’ve never seen such learnt helplessness at a societal level before
Sure you have. Look at the entire world. The US isn’t unique, it’s just happening right now and very loudly—and also very comically.
My country just held an election where convervatism and populist bullshit were soundly defeated
The idiot who had his arse kicked tried playing from the Trump deck, and it was the single most stupid thing he could have done
The US isn’t unique, there are loads of shitty countries like Hungary and Argentina who have made stupid decisions too, but it’s definitely not the “whole world”, because contrary to popular opinion, the world is not America
I more meant to consider all the other countries, and not that 100% of them are like it.
I’m guessing you’re from Canada? PP didn’t get his ass kicked, he lost by about 4%. That should frighten you.
Although if you’re from Australia, the divide was nearly 10% on the TPP, so good on them.
Australia
I’m glad to be a long way from 'Murica
I’m glad your country kicked those cunts. Truly.
But, have some pity for those of us who didn’t vote for our insanity.
Oh, I absolutely do
There are so many wonderful people in the US, but there are loads of lunatics, and an unfortunately large cohort who could have voted against it, but didn’t bother. They’re just as responsible
