Which will basically let state governments (minus the governor or judiciary) overturn their electoral results, meaning that if enough StopTheSteal politicians in enough states want to, they could just negate how their states voted and hand 2024 off to Trump or Desantis even if Biden wins at first :agony-limitless:

    MFW the US is now a one-party state under the GOP just because they had one lucky day in 2016.

    Balkanization when?

      Nah. Obama refusing to seat a Justice when McConnell stonewalled him, RBG refusing to resign, Obama refusing to bomb the Bundy fucks. Hell, the USAPATRIOT act. This has been a long time coming.

        It's been a one party state since a bunch of slaveowners in wigs said they don't like taxes in 1776

          i really dont think it was the taxes they objected to.

          wasnt it the fact that the british didnt (at that time) let them steal more indian land?

            That too was also a major contributing factor. The class interests of said slaveowners in wigs were threatened by the British crown for several reasons, and entire civil wars rarely break out for just one reason. The U.S. civil war ~80 years later was kind of an exception to that
