It doesn’t matter what Trump says or does at this point, him getting the votes isn’t the plan.
Johnson will refuse to certify the results of the election that will put Democrats in the House, claiming some kind of bullshit irregularities with no proof, leaving the House controlled by the Republicans. They’ll then claim irregularities in the presidential election and force a contingent election where they have a 100% chance of electing Trump no matter what the public votes.
More people need to be made aware that this is 100% legal for them to do, and more people need to be aware that it is almost certainly what they will try. The only thing that can possibly stop it is significant awareness by the mass population of Americans and significant publicity (similar to how mass awareness of Project 2025 turned it into a poison pill).
EDIT: Oh look, they’ve already started making it super-legal in battleground states: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/06/georgia-local-election-boards-allowed-withhold-vote-certification
The bot is an annoyance, especially since mbfc is actually biased.
So block it
That’s not sufficient.
A biased fact checking bot should not be allowed to operate in a public forum, giving weight to it’s opinions as though it were a neutral source of truth.
If you want its services, you can go to their website and use it. It shouldn’t be here.
I think you’ve inadvertently demonstrated the problem with calling out media “bias”.
as though it were a neutral source of truth.
I would be interested to lean what, if anything, you’d say meets this description.
No. I’ll deal with it in the way that seems appropriate for the moment.
