Anyone who cares about who actually "won" the election is the real dupe. They're both playing for the same team. And the real traitors are all of us who participate in the circus that legitimizes the process. If we all didn't vote, and instead called for a general strike on election day, then there would be no way we'd be having this silly conversation. The reason we are is because people do vote for this person or that person. You participate and therefore you legitimize. If all of us were protesting on election day instead of voting and Biden got 20 votes and Trump got 10 then the whole process would be illegitimate. See what I'm saying here? But because we are mostly compelled to vote for one or the other, and not given a chance to abstain or vote against the legitimacy of the process itself, the only other option is to not vote at all. Voting legitimizes the process, period.

our government is being overthrown by a group that says that they will destroy us financially and that they will use violence to silence us.

if trump fails to take the election, which he did win, many people in the united states are going to learn what it is like to live in the united states of china and you may get a taste of what it was like for jews that lived under nazi rule.

i am a dupe.

No, we will get a taste of what it was like for white Christians in 1917 Russia
