From Aesop a little while back on the election (near) debacle in Florida.


The democrats were pretty close to pulling off a thievery in this round of midterms. I think that Florida was going to be their Inchon Landing event to form a beachhead to go after the Republican dominated everything in the states and federal system.

Look at it, in 2016 and 2017, the Republicans held the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives, "conservatives" held a slight majority in the SCOTUS, over 35 governor's seats, a giant majority of state legislatures and attorney generals, etc. The democrats had very few states where they had the governor's seat plus majorities in both sides of the legislature. The party was reeling and didn't even have a bench to draw from.

Florida was their target and they obviously were not going to take a loss unless they were forced to. If not for Rick Scott's and Ron Desantis's aggressive litigation and Marco Rubio's aggressive attention-drawing, the democrats were well on their way to manufacturing more and more votes in Broward County. Florida was going to be their beachhead for a much larger movement.

Without Florida, they made gains to be sure, but they were unable to totally dominate and flip an entire battleground state, at least for now. It would have been a totally stolen set of elections.

How am I expected to continue using the ballot box instead of the cartridge box if my vote can just be overruled by some phantom vote found in the back of a moving truck in Broward County two days after the election is over?

How am I supposed to respect a process that has been perverted specifically to bring about the end of my own way of life?

Also, how many traffic lights can the Broward County workers replace in one day? Three, four tops? What about all of them? What would a gallon-sized plastic bag of quikcrete do poured into the plumbing system of a Broward County office?

Asking for a friend.
