Ahh, Those Were the Days

#1 Post by Spock » Fri Nov 04, 2022 10:18 am

I have been fondly remembering the aftermath of the 2004 election here on the Bored-well, it was a different iteration then but you know what I mean. While I savored my splash of Scotch last night, I was also savoring the memory of Ghost's (I think and maybe there were others) insistence that the election was stolen in Ohio on the voting machines there.

Yep, the good old days, when you could be an "Election Denier" and not have it be a major slam.

Or just by supporting your cadidate not be called a "threat to democracy" by an actual threat to the Republic.

Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

Me too, as well as all those angry democrats attacking the Capitol in January trying to violently stop the certification, as well as for years afterwards John Kerry crying on TV that he actually won the election and he was the real president in front of mobs of angry supports threatening the next civil war. How could anyone forget those events?
