Do these people think real life is a fucking game? At this point I’m convinced repoblicans are delusional
…because they are?
When you have enough money and power to avoid experiencing the vast majority of consequences of your actions, then life does become a game for the vast majority of the time.
The reluctance of governments to take action against the rich and powerful just feeds their delusions further.
Well if it wasn’t there would be consequences for this shit. As far as their concerned it’s all just theater until there’s a judge involved. And let’s be honest here. They’re basically right at this point.
Do these people think real life is a fucking game?
Yes. And that they have to ‘win’. And that the consequences for other people ‘don’t matter’.

No, you touch the hot plate and someone else gets burnt.
Why besmirch Megatron’s good name like that?
We live in a world that if you call someone an idiot or violate some other arbitrary rule you get banned, but if you spread dangerous lies you usually are fine and rarely see a consequence
Sell a bit of plant material, prison.
Never pay taxes and rile up people to attack the government while spreading the most insane shit ever, president of the US.
Yeah. Shit like this has driven me to the conclusion that the logical end state of civility politics invariably tends towards fascism.
and how do you deal with that?

Not enough when they have .50cals
I was thinking the good old Winchester trench shotgun.
By not treating civility as though it’s some kind of unbreakable rule. It’s okay to tell dickheads to stop acting like dickheads.
We could use more of that in general, I mean evaluation of the rules and their relative importance on a case-by-case basis rather than taking any one rule as an absolute or in some absolute order of priorities. Particularly when it comes to broad rules like freedom of speech or freedom of religion that might not always deserve the same priority for all cases where you could apply them.
she’s obviously not going to get banned on her son’s weird personal blog
She’s rich. And she’s white.
She’s not going to be charged.
She’s Elon Musk’s mother and a republican, her sense of constantly feeling like a victum is punishment in itself
Here’s a fun article about how different people are treated differently for the same crime. You gotta love the good ol’ U.S. of A.
She eventually got acquitted
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68693700
The whole story is fucking bonkers though. She did everything right while being uncertain and it’s insane she got punished for it.
I think we all know what would have happened to her if it didn’t make the news
i need the arrest of Tina Peters running in tvs on loop
She’s everything I expect from a white South African who became incredibly rich from owning a emerald mine.
Please don’t think all white South Africans are like Elon.
Pre-94 notwithstanding.
— sincerely, a broke white South African
If you owned a mine, I can’t promise I wont attach some assumptions about you.
She’s also Canadian. So even worse.
Wouldn’t this be incitement?
Yes, and I expect she’ll face the same consequences that trump faced for inciting a coup. 🦗

Holy shit your right elon is all of them!
California ballots are arriving in the mail. Don’t forget to fill it out, and drop it off!
I’m confused how three 10s gives 100. Did she 1000?
She just repeated herself. 10 fake names at 10 places is 100.
Why mention 10 polling booths then lmao
It’s the 10 fake names and vote 10 times that’s the repetition.
Yeah, but each name can only vote once yet she says it’s 100 votes. I don’t think it’s a fair assumption that she meant to use one booth at each location.
10 fake names/votes at 10 different polling places equals 100 votes. That’s what she’s saying. I don’t see what you’re not getting.
It was stupid of her to say the number 10 three times and end up with 100. 10×10×10 is 1000. One of them is redundant. Logically it should be 10 votes or 1000 votes or it’s redundant confusing information.
Yes one of them is repeated, that’s what I said. At this point you must be intentionally obtuse and it’s not funny, it’s just stupid.
Ah we’ve found the source of the insanity! So he was always like this huh, since birth.
Conspiracy theory is that this is another one of Elon’s sock puppet accounts. A version of his mom that appreciates his work.
That doesn’t even make sense unless he’s locked her up in a basement cage.
Otherwise she’d come out saying it’s not her.
If it is a sock puppet then she’s agreeing by not saying anything which means his mom does appreciate his work and approves of this and it’s not a ‘version’ of her.
Why would she bother? If I said my parents said crazy stuff, my parents probably wouldn’t notice or care. I don’t have a Twitter/X account, nor do I follow it, and the only exposure I get is here. If someone started saying crazy stuff about me, I probably wouldn’t notice, and if I did, probably wouldn’t care enough to correct the record publicly.
But if you pretended to be your parents saying it on the open internet? That’s pretty different
If I pretended to be my parents, my parents literally wouldn’t notice, nor would they probably care too much if they did.
wouldn’t notice,
Are you checks noted one of the richest people in the world stirring up shit where it’s almost certainly likely someone would tell them?
nor would they probably care too much if they did.
Then they accept it and are complicit.
Certified dummy.
Honestquestion: can she be tried in court for publicly calling people.yo commit crimes?
She’s just prepping some Rs to think that faking votes is easy so they’ll be more accepting of the idea that the election was stolen when Trump loses. As a bonus she also makes it seem like the R party is the one stopping this fictional fraud.
It’s very clear that these people legitimately do not understand how voter registration works on even the most basic level.
That and creating voter fraud instances so that they can call the whole thing a sham and kick the inevitable case to the SCOTUS, whom will kick it then to the house. I believe this is the plan to get Trump the win.
The Apartheid is still in the Muskrats. F-them and they should go back to South Africa.
Wow now, these aren’t the immigrants the Republicans were referring to.
LOL! Dark MAGAT is an immigrant and technically qualifies under the GOP rules.
I didn’t think the leopard would eat MY face.

Do they not realize how annoying and hard it is for the average person to vote just once during an election?
People don’t have that much free time.
Very easy in civilized countries that don’t try voter suppression.
It’s easier when you just stand in line for 3 hours, walk up to the intake desk, and immediately provide all 10 names.
Less than 20 minutes on average for me. That is, 20 minutes from leaving home, walking to the nearest voting place, voting, and walking back. Added about 5 minutes or so when part of my work commute.
This is why I love mail voting.
- receive ballot in mail
- fill it out
- mail it (must pay postage) or drop it off at a ballot box sometime in the 2-weeks before the election
I have never actually voted in-person, I just don’t have the time for that.
I’ve voted in person a few times. But I absolutely prefer mail in. I can calmly, quietly, and thoroughly look through the options on the ballot. In person I feel rushed and judged.
Every part of it is better with mail in ballot.
Exactly! I do it in front of my computer where I can research candidates and issues. If I went to a polling station, I wouldn’t have the time to do that research. I tend to spend 30 min or more on my ballot, even though I’m pretty sure I can accurately predict the results of the election before even looking at the ballot (in my area, the R will win; if it’s not a partisan office, the incumbent will win; if it’s a yes/no, it’ll be yes, unless it’s something I actually want, in which case no).
(in my area, the R will win; if it’s not a partisan office, the incumbent will win; if it’s a yes/no, it’ll be yes, unless it’s something I actually want, in which case no).
I’m not in quite a red area, but I feel your pain
Here I’d have to insert between step 2 and 3 “get it notarized”, here ballots don’t count if mailed in without a notary.
That’s really weird. In my state, the only signature that matters is the voter’s, and the voter can track their ballot though every stage of the vote counting process. I forget what it looks like exactly, but I think there’s an option for someone to sign if they’re helping the person fill it out.
I personally drop mine off at the ballot box because I feel like it’s safer (and I don’t want to pay for a stamp).
Requiring a notary to sign would probably be considered illegal voter suppression and potentially considered a “poll tax” (because you’d essentially need a bank account to get access to a notary).
Guessing they would state that if you had no access to a notary, voting in person is still allowed (with a valid state issued photo id)
You have to pay someone for your ballot to be valid? Sounds pretty unconstitutional.
I don’t even have to pay postage!
Look at you, fancypants. :)
