Not only are they not joking, they have quietly taken control of every single political system they can get their hands on. if a person can be elected, they're running for it and winning races no one takes seriously or looks at very hard. like school boards.
One of the most important things you can do as an ally and as fighter of fascism is stop laughing at evangelical Christians and realize they mean every single word they say. They’re not funny, they’re absolutely terrifying. Take them extremely seriously and act accordingly.

I know you don't want to vote for biden. it feels awful. I understand. whatever you want to do about that vote-which is *seccret and none of my business,* do that. but fucking go vote *the rest of the ticket.* down to interim co-dog catcher or whatever. fascist regimes start on the ground floor.

and then dedicate yourself to being a *complete pain in the ass.* did you read something about your city that annoys you? FABULOUS! go write a stern letter. on paper. put it in the mail. go buy a roll of 50 stamps. I double dog dare you to use the roll by this time in 2026. bother them.

because I *promise* you, if you're printing letters, mailing letters to your city councillor, your mayor, your school board trustee, the person in charge of city planning who wants to stop your bus route, anyone! It has more impact on paper. those "click to send an email to--?" they're filtered.

The fact that they would pay so much to tell someone fuck you is amazing

Good reminder. Be like Andy Dufresne. Send one a week. Once you see movement, send two a week.

I fully support this AND I have such a hard time sussing out local elections. I used to just give up & only do a cursory look up of the candidates. Now of course you have to be careful & it is a LOT of work to figure out who (esp "nonpartisan" positions) are the open and the hidden facists.

A reliable method where I live is also kind of cursed: there’s a “church voting guide” that often reveals who NOT to vote for. Certain candidates feel they’re among a sympathetic audience, so they drop some of the coded language. It is gross but useful (but rather specific to my local horrorshow).

Ohh. That could work where I am too. Good tip - thanks & ick

Support the League of Women Voters; they aren't as successful at getting candidate info as they used to be, but Vote411 is a good place to start....

I do & I use LVW, LCV & our local weekly newspaper + votesmart.org & others, but they are mostly for state level & above. Sometimes county/mayor too, but those are pretty easy to work out. County & local candidates you have to listen to scuttlebut and assess their soc med & website if they have one.
Vote Smart | Facts For Allvotesmart.org Vote Smart provides free, unbiased, in-depth information about current officials, candidates, issues, legislation, and voting. Non-partisan and nonprofit since 1988.

I've taken to nagging local candidates on Facebook to fill out their LWV questionnaire & where I work, I've been working with the local LWV to host a meet the board of Ed candidates night each year

I'm convinced that the political endorsements are part of why the community saved the Eugene Weekly from financial ruin. They do so much research and lay everything out so that even if you disagree with their conclusions you still have a solid basis for your decision.

Remember that Trump's statement about the genocide is that it's taking too long, and he would encourage Bibi to turn Gaza into a parking lot upon which resorts could be constructed. And there's no viable third option, bc everyone always waits until election year to call for one.

The notion of a global struggle between democracy and autocracy is perplexing. If democracy applies only internally, then it has legitimacy only internally against domestic opponents. If outside your outlook is hierarchical, you cannot boast of being a democracy. prada.substack.com/p/why-im-res...

Curious. But let's remember that Joheph "Fouche" Biden doesn't support the Assignat..listen,I will be DEAD before I allow a D'Ontranto to oppose me again. Ja he's evil in other ways,it's meaningful noise but I'm deaf to it. A D'Ontranto..come on now. Surely you have dignity! Loyalty to La Patrie!

I guess I will repeat myself, since it seems to be required: "whatever you want to do about that vote-which is *secret and none of my business*" which is code for it's secret and none of my business

This isn't remotely about votes. It's about the Assignat,it's about a duel I lost two centuries ago,it's about a beautiful woman with chestnut hair who was slain upon the Guillotine in my youth for a crime of naught but VIRTUE by Joseph. But I don't suppose you'd understand,Tankie.

If you don't oppose Biden,you are supporting both the Bourbons and L'Empereur,and also the perfidious demiurge. If this isn't a problem to you,I don't know what is. And of course you dont care about the silver mines,because you aren't a natural philosopher.

What the fuck is this guy on? What does he think jabbering in incomprehensible French Revolution references under a two-week-old post accomplishes other than making him seem like a nonce?

Listen. I don't think you understand. The duc d'Ontranto doesn't actually care about the republic. He's actually working with foreign crowns and Commonwealths as we speak for naught but his own gain. If you don't speak out about this,the Patrie will be DESTROYED. but I suppose that's what you want.
