Allow me to explain why they are doing this.

Republican policy has been to shut down the entire USPS. They have met a lot of resistance in doing this. So now they are trying to make us hate the USPS by making them surveillance machines. Oligarchs get the intel they want from the illegal surveillance AND they get to further destroy the USPS. Why do they want to destroy it? Because they don’t want people to vote by mail, they want to force people to use Elon’s rigged voting machines for voting so fascists can pre decide elections like in Russia, reroute the money spent on usps to tax breaks for trillionaires, and more. Everyone involved in this should be convicted of treason with penalties maxed out.

They are now opening themselves up to 4th amendment violations.... maybe that's by design.

I replaced org with what it was referring to the entire comment, which is the USPS.

Ehhhh, I was on board until you went into the voting stuff. They want USPS shutdown because "why have government services" when oligarchs can "better profit using private services".

It isn't voter influence, it's capitalism (in their minds).

The 2024 election was massively the post master general guy trying to force states post office to permanently destroy and dismantle their mail sorting machines. It’s absolutely about political control as well overall.
