Law&CrimeTea ⚖️ 🫆 Multiple Reports of Voting Machines Flipping Votes to Republican Candidates Automatically

This isn’t just happening in Tennessee. There are reports of voters in other states experiencing touchscreen voting machines changing their selections from Democratic to Republican candidates.

Please check, double-check, and TRIPLE-CHECK your ballot before submitting it. Make sure every vote reflects your choice. If something looks wrong, alert a poll worker before casting your ballot.

So Republicans keep the house and Senate even though Trump has historical, record breaking low polls. So we no longer live in a Republic. 

That leaves us with only one option then.

General strike is still an option. Completely stop the economy and the rich will get the message in seconds.

u/Ozzie_the_tiger_cat 2h ago

No they won't.  They can survive way longer than we can.

u/DaraParsavand 2h ago

Exactly - that is the problem. Asking people on the edge (I'm not in this group myself) to go out on a limb where they can lose their job is a lot. If people knew that is the only way out of certain and complete destruction, that would be one thing - but that kind of certainty is impossible to convince everyone to have (even if it were true).

We better have a backup plan to the general strike idea. Maybe a couple.

I'm in the same boat.

u/BonhommeCarnaval 2h ago

Can they though? Most of the superrich have their assets tied up in the stock market and other financial instruments. When the gears stop all of that stuff goes into free fall and they have no actual practical skills to fall back on.

u/Facehugger81 1h ago

I wouldn't be surprised if when people tried to organize one they just sell their stocks, crashing everything and then leave the country.

u/BonhommeCarnaval 54m ago

They won’t be able to take all their factories and resources with them though. People would just rebase the currency, establish new systems and start again without them. It’s happened many, many times in history.

I want to agree but panic and unrest at a scale like that will be far faster than many think

u/PM_Me_Your_Kinks369 1h ago

A TRUE General Strike in the US (with something like 25% of people doing it) would cause absolute fucking chaos. The market would PLUMMET and with it alllll those billionaires' net worths.

We could also all agree to move our various retirement funds into stable value funds and similar Money Market Funds. Between the two you'd see absolute chaos among the rich.

u/Don_Gato1 1h ago

Yeah, a sane person with the amount of assets rich people have could hunker down and hold out for years. But these people are driven exclusively by greed. A percentage drop of just a few points in their net worth in a short amount of time will break them mentally on its own.

u/philharmonicfartbox 1h ago

It would be met with violence though, just like Blair mountain and the many other labor uprisings before the wealthy would 100% use their class traitor attack dogs to violently kill it.

2

u/PM_Me_Your_Kinks369 1h ago

You can't meet a General Strike with violence. The beauty of it is you DON'T show up to work or buy anything at all. You stay at home for the duration of it. If you have to get food just go to a local grocery store and grab the essentials. Ideally you do that beforehand.

u/PlasticArms333 1h ago

Can they though? All of their wealth starts to dry up as soon as their stocks take a hit. They aren’t mostly tied up in ownership shares. Even though they will still be much more solvent than you and I, they horde net worth and will take actions to protect it if we show them what that would require.

1

u/Ozzie_the_tiger_cat 1h ago

They may lose a ton of their virtual wealth but the elite almost always fare better than the plebs.

aaand that's how you keep people cucked at home, watching on as everything is taken from them

newsflash: they'll bleed you out and "survive longer" just the same if you don't do anything

u/MundanePath4546 2h ago

I'd argue its an option but hardly realistic... we're such a cowed and compliant population. We'd need to get 3-4% plus of the total population to strike to move the needle. Worth doing but so hard to organize and get that to happen in a country of 350 million plus.

12 million plus workers acting in a unified manner? Where and how do we achieve that? It's an option sure...

u/Libinky 1h ago

I’m ready for a general strike! The only question is when, before or after the election. It is the only factor that can impact corporate.
It needs to be limited so small businesses are exempt. That will be a challenge but needed.

No they don't give a shit about that. We wait to see what happens on November 3rd and then if necessary we discuss real options.

u/Slighted_Inevitable 56m ago

No it’s not. They can out last us and half the rich people WANT us to starve to death. They want slaves and bots. Not workers.

If things get that bad there is ONLY one answer. Stop hiding from the truth it will only get worse the longer we wait.

u/TreeHugPlug 53m ago

Until they decided to shoot or gas the strikers to make an example out of them to get the rest of you back to work. Do you honestly belive they won't hurt you after forcing you to vote for them? Did you take a history class at all?

IF we had a somewhat functioning system, ypu could easily charge both the Republican and Democratic parties under RICO. They function effectively as crime families, beholden to the family over State and Country. Unfortunately, we do not so yeah, "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite" as they say.

Blaming illigal immigrants for voter fraud was always a distraction, its the machines that are compromised thats the reason gop want you to vote in person and less likely an audit will catch vote switching fraud unlike mail in ballots their is physical proof and a sample of 1000s of ballots you can confirm who people voted for with a phone call.

Except we are also seeing mail in ballots being rejected left and right, so not counting

The French method is unchristian and deranged. Nothing like our revolution. The French revolution was done in the worse way possible.

Screw religion, we need reason and outrage not more blind obedience.

The American revolution was driven by faith and Providence. The French eas driven by madmen.

Providence... so your great solution is "Jesus take the wheel!" I think we've had quite enough of that...

u/No_Freedom_8673 1h ago

What God wants will happen. We have little choice in that matter. God also permits those in power to be in power for as long as he wishes them to be. Likely we have trump as punishment for our sins.

u/MoodooScavenger 3h ago

We have no options. We want pure power, but then, when we have power, like the past 2 years. We will blame you, as yes, we had the power, but you thought to have power. So, you know, you’re bad and taking my power, cause, I worked hard, not to give that power. Either way, take it, so I can blame on you for the power you gave me, common bruh, you don’t give that much power to anyone. That’s socialism. 🫪

If Republicans keep the house and senate due to rigged machines, I genuinely think the only thing that’ll stop them from doing this for every election is high definition video of a mob tearing a few of them apart and parading around with souvenirs.

America can’t just strike, they’ll lose their houses, so when enough is finally fucking enough it’s going to be all or nothing.

Republic isn't mutually exclusive with dictatorship

u/Im_Just_A_Tourist 2h ago

America is not just a Republic it is a constitutional Republic that document outlines the basis of what the government can do. If the government acts in contradiction to that document that authorizes and grants it any authority then the people have the right to eliminate and replace that government by that same documentation.

Every single republic and monarchy has a constitution except United Kingdom and maybe some other few examples.
