CNN:
Former Georgia GOP lieutenant governor encourages Republicans to vote for Harris in sprint to election

Geoff Duncan, a Republican and former Georgia lieutenant governor, is making a final push to convince swing state voters in his party to vote for Kamala Harris.

He said he and other Republican officials who are backing Harris are “truly, genuinely embarrassed every time (Trump) sees a microphone or a camera... — he’s a fraud.”

Trump’s rhetoric is dangerous, but the media isn't calling it out enough. His incoherent speeches are often dismissed, but they reveal a serious decline in his capacity to lead. This isn't a joke; it's a warning sign of a looming authoritarian threat. If reelected, the danger to democracy will only escalate.

WSJ's Rebecca Ballhaus:

In Maricopa County, votes will be counted with drones overhead and police snipers standing ready. Election workers have gone through active-shooter drills and learned to barricade themselves or wield fire hoses to repel armed mobs.

A theory:
Simple minds want an authoritarian leader, similar to how a young child needs parental authority.

This is why the so-called “conservatives” (U.S. Republicans) have for decades, continually undermined public education: create more ignorant voters.

How is #ElonMusk paying for votes for #DonaldTrump legal? It isn't. And he would have never paid up anyway. Another reason to pass $$ to the grifter #MAGA

@wdlindsy

one of the main things that infuriate me is that rapists can try to get custody and/or visitation

that means the person they raped will have to deal with their rapist for years

this is beyond disgusting and damaging and should NEVER be allowed

an abortion ends all of that and is an option that protects the person who was raped

"There is a reason the term 'fascist' is in such wide circulation as Mr. Trump amps up a campaign increasingly built around nativism, racial resentment, fear and threats, Ms. [Ruth] Ben-Ghiat said.

'It’s a measure of the urgency and sense of emergency that Hillary Clinton and Mark Milley are using this word,' she said. 'It packs a punch.'”

The vast majority of undocumented immigrants arrived in the U.S. before 2010. They're our neighbors, friends, coworkers, and loved ones.

Mass deportations would separate American families and rip millions of long-established immigrants out of our communities 👇🏽

18 U.S. Code § 597 - Expenditures to influence voting

“Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and

Whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote—

Shall be fined… or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; & if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”

No, ignoring it won't make it go away.

Hey MAGA,

Men aren’t “in girl’s bathrooms.”
But Donald Trump has bragged about being in girl’s dressing rooms.

Did you want to talk about that or nah?

A dock collapse on Georgia's Sapelo Island during a Gullah-Geechee festival left seven dead and six critically injured. Authorities are investigating, and rescue efforts continue as the community mourns. President Biden and Gov. Kemp expressed condolences. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/20/us/georgia-sapelo-island-ferry-dock-collapse-sunday/index.html

👏🏻The former governor of #Ohio, a lifelong Republican, says he's voting for Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown for Senate.

"I will be joining most voters who make judgments about candidates based not just on party affiliation but, often more importantly, on the candidate and his or her character, experience and expertise." https://www.daytondailynews.com/ideas-voices/voices-one-vote-for-sherrod-brown/FCBQW3SBFVCFXBRJK5LWTMN4SA/

"It's entirely possible that we're on the verge of a total Nazi takeover of the U.S. government, is the thing. ...

It's almost like most people in our media and many in our country are more committed to telling comforting fictions than to observing the actual swastika that's actually flapping around. It's almost as if people are more interested in finding a way to not know things that are difficult to ignore than they are in simply looking around and knowing."

Elon doing everything he pretends Soros does is the epitome of how Nazis troll, according to Sartre.
