      No, Dems just love to play the center and vote for this kind of bullshit all the fucking time.

      As a group they are not as terrible as Republicans, but they voted overwhelmingly for the Patriot Act and mot other shitty legislation too.

        Well, everyone wants control. The patriot act was a wet dream for all of them.

      How are these people Republicans running as Democrats? All of those districts that I know have had Republican challengers fielded.

      Well we do have quite a few Democrats now claiming the 2024 election was hacked. Give it 8 years and the crazy Republicans today might look pretty tame after Democrats continue moving to the right.

          There was one who told a plausible story. Spoonamore? But as soon as you try to verify the number claim, it turns out to be bogus.

          Here is the latest post saying the same thing:

          https://lemmy.world/post/22304014

          I gotta give c/politics that they removed the previous post, but before they did it had approx. 200 upvotes or more and what appeared to be a majority of users claiming Trump won cause he hacked the elections.

          Here is a link to the post that got removed:

          Not sure if there is someway to still view all the comments, but you’re in for a wild ride if you can.

            So just random people? There’s not much point thinking about it. Nothing will happen. And, that energy is better spent thinking about your exit strategy.
