They went down without a fight and that’s what surprised me most. Not a single legal case or even someone complaining on tv. Just went away, backed into the hedge.

At some point, you have to sit down and face facts.
Voters in this country are really fucking shitty. And non-voters don't care if they and everyone they know live (or die) under a fascist regime.
Really Not a fan of when Words Are Arbitrarily In Title Case
Also Trump said, "They rigged the election, and now I'm president again."
God dammit, please put this in context because it's so damn easy to and then it shoots down the argument and makes whoever is saying it look bad.
He was talking about the 2028 Olympics (in Los Angeles) and how that was in the works in his first term. At the time, he said he wouldn't be president for that because he'd be done in 2024. But then
"They [the Democrats/left/deep whatever] rigged the 2020 election, and now I'm president again [in 2025-2029]."
There is plenty wrong with Trump and what he said there. But the takeaway is not that he rigged 2024 to be president today.

It wouldn’t matter if a document detailing the entire process, who was involved, and valid proof surfaced. Nothing would happen. Hell he could call a press conference and spell it out on national Television and not a damn thing would come of it.
I feel like "10 items or less" really broke the "fewer" distinction.
Texas doesn’t have registered Democrats because you don’t specify a party affiliation when you register to vote in Texas.
I’m not going to spot check the rest of the items, but this list is at least partially B.S. so the whole thing is suspect.
Yes, the Republicans cheat and voter suppression is the only thing that keeps them in power, but spreading misinformation about that voter suppression makes it harder to fight, not easier.
Texas doesn’t have registered Democrats because you specify a party affiliation when you register to vote in Texas.
How does "affiliating while registering" not equate to "registering as?"
Texas did in fact purge voter rolls in the lead up to the election, though it was months, not days, prior, and I haven't seen evidence of it being predominantly aimed at Democrats. However, the state does know what primary you voted in and can use that to formulate a "potential Democrat" list.

I live in a swing state area where bomb threats were called in on election day. This isn't b.s. at all.
