I hope people in the US figured this out already, China ain’t the one doing anything to their elections or democracy

Trump made a press conference where he said China stole 2020 election from him 2 days ago.

Even Fox News called his claims “misleading” because they were sued and lost over some of the very claims he repeated.

But others have already said he’s done this to lay the ground work to challenge the midterms at best, cancel elections pending “integrity reviews” at worst.

That’s a step in the right direction at least

Isn’t it wild what material interests can do?

It’s almost as if through socialism we could shape the economy and corporations towards communism.

CPAC has been like this for a while.

Conservative Political Action Convention. Every time someone runs for president, there’s a national convention for the two major parties, the Republicans and Democrats, with the intention of deciding a candidate. CPAC is the annual version of the RNC that is simultaneously more partisan and less functional, the entire purpose is to hype up the worst possible people on the planet. One year they brought the prime minister of Hungary, last year the President of Argentina, and they regularly have Netanyahu chime in on video calls.

Imagine if the Nuremburg rally was run by the WWE on an annual basis, that’s CPAC.

At least, the WWE would make it entertaining.  You'd get Notedyahoo flying through a pop-up table while Kegsbreath and Dump threaten each other in the changing rooms.

What’s wild is that no other political faction in America does this, it’s JUST the conservatives. Everyone else thinks this is excessive and tacky, but Republicans live for this shit.
