If we don't vote, it's because...

Fox News contributor and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) said conservative White men are so concerned about being politically persecuted, they refuse to participate in polls, lest they be arrested by the FBI for their beliefs.

The FBI is out arresting people for what they believe. This is the bullsh*t they're plying. And by day's end, I will have heard the bastardized version of this at least once from a True Believer.
No one plays the victim card like republicans .

I am white, a man and participate in polls. I don't much give a damn if I am persecuted for my beliefs. I have already sent in my ballot by mail. Faux News, Cotton and Trump are a warts on the rear of America... so are those who support them.

Wow! Sounds like another talking point for when they want to challenge election results, and one of the stupidest things I’ve heard from them. I hope they don’t vote. Personally I have to walk right by hunters parked in front of the voting place, all right wingers, in their trucks playing with their guns to cast my vote.
If it keeps enough of them from voting to swing the election to the Democrat, I can’t get too excited about this. It’s not like anis actively preventing them from voting or even deliberately misleading them. This is just their own stupidity.

Trump and Fox have convinced people that all their governmental bodies are against them. I love the old "white male" persecution angle too. How can they call this news?

OH ya, there will be plenty of parrots here spouting off that nonsense in no time; get your popcorn folks and watch the show of idiots.

"You have to play the game of binary psychos. If you dont you are scared of the fbi"

Voting in this system of representative democracy is like urinating in the wind.

Voting for the lesser of 2 evils is still voting for evil.

To truly send a message to the parasite class (red and blue), dont vote. Imagine if the majority didnt vote.....i think the effect would be profound

@gol979 Actually YES IT IS!..Freedoms come with responsibilities attached. The moment the people choose not to accept the responsibility, the freedom is forfeit.. And at that level being American has nothing to do with it. If you accept the safety and services of a community, you do your part when the time comes to support it.. That used to mean standing on the wall with a spear. Now it means voting, paying taxes or turning up for your shift as a nurse in a natural disaster.
There is something nasty creeping into modern society generally that makes up more selfish and willing to allow us to see others suffer as long as we are fine.. Again, thats not American. But the "Real Republicans" are a bl**dy good example of it.😷
gol979 · 41-45, M
@whowasthatmaskedman you voting for these nutjobs who care not 1 jot about you and i will take responsibility for myself. Im not into outsourcing that to clearly insane/corrupt people, institutions and political/corporate parasites
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@gol979 The worst thing you can do it not vote.. If you cant find someone to vote for, you can always find someone to vote against. But failing to vote is how this gets out of hand..😷
Fox News has already been pushing the rogue FBI all morning

@turbineman40 California also has a 3.4 Trillion GSP, highest in the US and highest sub national economy in the world. in 2021 California also had a 97 billion dollar surplus in its budget.
@turbineman40 California is far from broke, last year a 97 billion dollar surplus. GSP is over 3.4 Trillion, more than any other sub national economy in the world and far and away the largest economy in the US.
If Red States would become productive and stop mooching off the blue states, Ca wouldn't be in debt at all.

California supports your lazy unproductive ass, you're welcome.

ANYTHING to feed the snowflakes is on the table for those con artists. Huckabee is one twisted, lying freak. I ran across his show recently and I couldn't believe what I was watching.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Ynotisay What's truly astonishing to me is that I can hear it come out of a mouth on TV and then hear it again on social media by nightfall. That's not even enough time for reflection or research.
Ynotisay · M
@Graylight They feed each other. It's like a cancer that just keeps growing. NO basis in reality but that doesn't matter.
Harriet03 · 41-45, F
Mike Huckabee 🤦‍♀️

And yet if the latest evidence from the Jan 6 committee is to be believed, there seems tro be a partial weaponization of the Secret Service to facilitate the insurrection before and on the day, even though a lot of material was "lost".😷
Graylight · 51-55, F
@whowasthatmaskedman Eh. What's being discussed now is their failure to act on leads. A criminal conspiracy that does not make. But These are men and women' of Trump's administration; it's not implausible to to think a man trained to give his life for your would be willing to lie a little.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Graylight Thats quite possible.. And Trump and his people had some years to pick through the Secret Service for the"right people".😷
PTCdresser57 · 61-69, M
I am voting no matter what!
If you don’t vote that’s on the individual. Some have legitimate reasons for not but those who can despite their political affiliation and their relation to the media, need to vote. If they don’t… we don’t want to hear it.

I don’t know a single Republican who answers polls . Iidentifying as a Republican in 2022 is like identifying as gay in 1950.
turbineman40 · 80-89, M
@AthrillatheHunt Oh Big trouble in 1950 to be gay. I was there then and lived it day by day. Even had a boy in same class as I was he suffered and endured a lot of verbal harassment about being a sweet guy or gay
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@turbineman40 I believe it.
White men are the reason workforce participation is so low.
Maybe they're doing the lay down life.
Zaphod42 · 51-55, M
Hey, if republicans don’t want to vote, let ’em stay home 🤷‍♂️
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Zaphod42 And in less thoughtful moments, I say the same thing. But a nation crippled is a nation crippled, whether by one party, the other or the sickness or the two. Without a healthy system of governance, we cannot thrive.
Zaphod42 · 51-55, M
@Graylight True, but it’s the very idiots telling them that voting is useless that will get voted out by them not voting. In my mind that should purge out the morons in office telling them not to vote thus fixing the issue
MarineBob · 56-60, M
I didnt believe what the other politician from Arkansas said either
luckranger71 · 51-55, M
@MarineBob Yeah, Tom Cotton is a congenital liar.
SnailTeeth · 36-40
As if those nazi scumfucks are capable of that level of self-awareness or decency.
Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M
Fucking insatiable loons.

@LvChris Interesting …” partially” behind 9/11? Who complements that to make it whole? Any of our fine, upstanding Presidents and administrations? Many say yes.
