This is authoritarian rot in plain sight. A DOJ weaponized against “enemies” of a sitting president isn’t law enforcement — it’s vengeance. That’s how democracies die: not overnight, but when power decides dissent is a crime.

I think MAGA is under the impression that the fraud in Minnesota started under Biden and was exposed under Trump.

Less than a month and a half ago, Trump called for the execution of 6 members of Congress. It was a news story for just a few days. We’re in serious danger of death threats being considered a normal thing that presidents do.
Hang onto your outrage, my friends. If we lose it, we’re doomed.

telling those voters "actually, your choice to vote Trump, third party, or sit out was fine, you SHOULD do that whenever you don't have a dem candidate you're enthusiastic for" has OBVIOUS negative consequences and pretending you don't understand that is absurd
“Boo bad voter!!” accomplishes what exactly? It makes those of us who know feel smug but what practical purpose does it accomplish? It gives the people who had Harris campaigning with Cheney and wasting millions on ads on the sphere an out. It lets them say “we did our best but the voters…”
"instead of"
Learn to be able to blame multiple people at once.
Voters making bad choices doesn't mean campaigns are blameless. Campaigns making bad choices doesn't mean voters are blameless. Letting your anger at dems lead you to "voters are blameless" is counterproductive idiocy

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”
