Comment on "Free" Speech Absolutist™
samus12345@lemm.ee 6 days agoI’m not voting for the less-evil conservative party next time.
Good news, it won’t matter next time as far as the presidential vote goes! Remember that “most important election of your lifetime” thing that everyone laughed at? Turns out people didn’t want free and fair presidential elections any more. It’s still worth voting in blue states for state and local stuff in particular, but red states will make sure that no Democrat ever becomes president again regardless of how people vote.

Frankly my entire screed is predicated on ignoring the possibility that we never see a free election again. A possibility that I consider plausible.

At any level that Republicans have control over, we won’t for the foreseeable future. The only defense we have is the courts and blue state governments, and how effective either will be against the coming tide of fascism remains to be seen.
