It’s not even about him, it’s the party. He didn’t start the campaign to fix elections, the party did after they successfully bullied the democrats out of the 2000 election and filibustered a recount with court challenges and Ginsberg crossed over and endorsed the steal.
You can draw a straight line from the stolen 2000 election, and it was stolen in multiple ways, from voter suppression, purging valid voters from rolls, putting faulty machines in democratic districts and otherwise sabotaging their use, throwing ballots in the trash from democratic districts, and so on.
The source of this fuckery is the 1971 business roundtable, where monied interests huddled up and made the first iteration of a long game to cooperate on what they agreed on. Dividing and ruining any opposition. ie infection unions with the mafia, corrupting all facets of the establishment, like changing the consumer price index several times to understate it. Since then it’s average 5-8 percent a year just by 2008 under the old measure, and 2-3 percent under the new. That is the biggest, and perhaps most consequential to working people, every year we take a pay cut, and nobody talks about it. They started The Fear of the Others in the 70s and by the 80s and 90s transformed le and the courts into fascist organizations given unconditional support. To make that happen of course they flooded the country with cocaine and taught gangs how to cook crack, to also fund paramilitary death squads in Nicaragua, and probably a lot of other countries that’s just the one we know about. The author that broke that scoop got intense pushback but his reporting checked out and got picked up by other papers, but he committed suicide according to Ohio police, two rounds to the back of the head, worse suicide we ever saw I imagine them saying, but I digress.

This doesn’t end with the president.
I was too young to vote/know about the 2000 election, and I find it fascinating now to learn about it.
Fucking wild ride and it’s been fucked since before maga
