15. There were, what, 120 bomb threats in Pennsylvania and Georgia in the 2024 election?

There were republican precinct chairs allowing access to the voting machines by republican "computer technicians". There were over 30,000 voters purged in Georgia, and many again in North Carolina. I still don't believe that republicans, at EVERY level of government, won the election.

Trump said they already had all the votes, and that nobody had to vote. He said Musk took care of the computers in Pennsylvania. There are still court cases working their way through the courts where people say they sent in their ballots, and that they were never received, or never counted, or showed they voted for someone else.

Democrats were too timid to raise hell. We're losing our democracy every day because of it what the republicans, with help from their silicon valley billionaires and their hacker toadies, are doing to this country.

I'm not optimistic.
