Hi, Juliette, I have come to the same sorry conclusion about all the elections of my adult life. BUT, believing so does not lead me to despair, because it assures me that We The People are not as divided as the media depicts us to be. Unity is our strength.

"And I will remind you again, non-Californians: your state is not safe. In fact, the hollowing out of your election systems has probably already begun while you sneer at us."

I don't sneer at CA .... I live in WA. They figured it out here, too. In the 2004 election for Governor, Dino Rossi (R) initially won the election. But then King County (Seattle) kept "finding" ballots that somehow, miraculously, reversed those results and Christine Gregoire (D) won by less than 200 votes. Between 2004 and 2011, WA state was completely converted to mail-in voting. And, funny enough, the state became more and more Blue. Bet you're shocked at that outcome.

Yeah. It's mostly people from red states in which the rot isn't yet visible.

the ballots that were "found" in the 2004 election were mostly absentee ballots. A few were ballots that were "under a box and overlooked". That's how it's done when you need a couple hundred ballots to win

Questions sent out into the universe:

What's the Coconut Treatment?

What's up with fundraising while sending in money to billionaire Elon for a dang Blue Check?

Why am I (along with my fiat $8) still not allowed back onto Twtr?

$8 is a test to see if I can get more engagement here. So far, there's no difference.

I'll post about the Coconut Treatment directly.

Slice off a 50 mile wide slice up the coast, dogleg over to Sacramento, fence it all off, and almost all the rest of the state is still America.
