Yeah. I get the point, but I’m kind of tired of cartoonists misusing the term “false flag” which (I think) has a specific meaning… that this, for instance, is not.
^^Wisconsin here. News to me. Are you sure that you didn’t get the talking points wrong? Even a WI conservative group says there’s no there there: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2021/12/07/wisconsin-conservative-group-finds-no-evidence-of-widespread-fraud-in-2020-election/?sh=34469b3145be
Maybe the defeated, former president just couldn’t cut it here as many GOP candidates had more votes than he did?
In how many states did the Republicans try to sit illegal alternate Electors after they lost the Nov. 3 election? Otherwise, no alleged cases of voting fraud by Democrats have gone to court as there was no evidence presented which met the rule of law.
It seems to be hard to get the public concerned about voting rights, since so many never vote anyway. We are going to lose our Democracy due to laziness and ignorance.
Gerrymandering, voter suppression, and now election subversion. They have certainly declared total war on voting rights. But they’ve been flying the false flag of voter fraud for 20 years now, ever since Bush stole the 2020 election, the Help America Vote Act of 2002 installed black box voting machines nationwide with proprietary software and no paper trail, no chance of fraud there. They’ve been phased out gradually but I think 7 states still use them. The 2020 election was the most secure BECAUSE of so many mail in ballots. So naturally they’re rejecting mail in ballots at record rates, 68,000 in one county in Georgia. The best the Heritage Foundation can come up with in terms of provable voter fraud is 1,500 nationwide and they had to go back 20 years to do it.
There’s a reason why Republicans won’t create a platform: because what they want is not what the majority of the citizens want. In poll after poll, citizens believe that race relations/US history needs to be taught in school, that there is systemic racism that needs to be addressed, that voting rights should be preserved rather than dismantled, that wealth inequality needs to be addressed as well as climate change. Republicans are on record as voting against all of those things.
The “How Stupid Do They Think We Are?” question has been around for decades; I think we might be on the verge of deciding we’re not as stupid as they’re counting on us being.
I do believe The Dotard’s astounding fealty to Putin (and that of his buds like Pompeo) will help some fence-sitters decide who’s really on America’s side. I hope he keeps praising him, publicly. Maybe even some Republican “representatives” will magically grow a spine if it keeps up….dare to dream….
Just get an ID and vote, it’s not hard. Voting should NOT be too easy either. WOKE Progressives are just setting the table with excuses for the butt paddling that’s coming from a dis-satisfied American people. Nothing will stop the changes.
Now is the time to remember what Fox’s own lawyers said about Tucker Carlson
As Russia prepared to invade Ukraine, the biggest star on Fox News was busy doing what he does best: being thoroughly and appallingly wrong.
He defended the murderous instigator Vladimir Putin while disparaging legitimate heroes like Alexander Vindman, the Ukrainian-born retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and former White House national security aide who was a key witness to Trump’s abuses of power in his first impeachment and has warned of Putin’s aggressions – but whom Carlson preferred to paint as some kind of sanctimonious warmonger.
Carlson glibly broad-brushed Vindman’s criticism of the GOP’s Putin apologists with his usual schoolboy sarcasm: “Your job is to take up arms in defense of Alexander Vindman’s home country, or else you’re evil.”
Carlson insisted that Ukraine was not a democracy but a “pure client state” of the United States government. And, in a particularly obnoxious rant, he suggested that Putin is morally superior to “permanent Washington,” some vaguely malign force that Carlson claims is manufacturing a global pandemic, teaching children to embrace racial discrimination and trying to snuff out Christianity.
Carlson’s pro-Putin act is so helpful that Russian state television has been rebroadcasting it with Russian subtitles. Carlson “urged Americans to turn against their government on the grounds that higher costs for them, in exchange for a pointless stand against Putin, is a ‘terrible deal for you,’” as Will Saletan summed it up in a Bulwark story comparing him to Charles Coughlin, the WWII-era radio host who defended the Nazis and painted Jews as a conniving force pushing the United States into the European conflict.
But it’s important to remember what Carlson is: nothing more than an outrage machine. What he offers is not political commentary.

Ask a Repub Sec State what he supports. He’ll tell you “election law” and never mention voting rights.
