      It’s really not that wild, many legal immigrants want to pull the ladder up behind them.

      Source: am married to an immigrant and work with several. All of them seem to like Trump’s immigration policies for some reason…

    The way she tossed it out there so casually, as though we knew everyone could do this but we were politely holding back and playing fair until this moment…

    At least now we know where Musk gets his bazimga brain from.

    She’s just prepping some Rs to think that faking votes is easy so they’ll be more accepting of the idea that the election was stolen when Trump loses. As a bonus she also makes it seem like the R party is the one stopping this fictional fraud.

      That and creating voter fraud instances so that they can call the whole thing a sham and kick the inevitable case to the SCOTUS, whom will kick it then to the house. I believe this is the plan to get Trump the win.

    Do they not realize how annoying and hard it is for the average person to vote just once during an election?

    People don’t have that much free time.

      This is why I love mail voting.

      1. receive ballot in mail
      2. fill it out
      3. mail it (must pay postage) or drop it off at a ballot box sometime in the 2-weeks before the election

      I have never actually voted in-person, I just don’t have the time for that.

      Less than 20 minutes on average for me. That is, 20 minutes from leaving home, walking to the nearest voting place, voting, and walking back. Added about 5 minutes or so when part of my work commute.

      Conspiracy theory is that this is another one of Elon’s sock puppet accounts. A version of his mom that appreciates his work.

        That doesn’t even make sense unless he’s locked her up in a basement cage.

        Otherwise she’d come out saying it’s not her.

        If it is a sock puppet then she’s agreeing by not saying anything which means his mom does appreciate his work and approves of this and it’s not a ‘version’ of her.

          Why would she bother? If I said my parents said crazy stuff, my parents probably wouldn’t notice or care. I don’t have a Twitter/X account, nor do I follow it, and the only exposure I get is here. If someone started saying crazy stuff about me, I probably wouldn’t notice, and if I did, probably wouldn’t care enough to correct the record publicly.

    That wouldn’t even fucking work, lol. You need, at minimum, a proof of address, and even if you spoofed 10 different names and addresses that each corresponded to 10 specific precincts, you’re going to be given a provisional ballot, in which case your vote doesn’t even get counted until it has been independently researched and verified by county workers, which if it succeeds, won’t get counted till a week later.

    God. I fucking hate that these idiots have a non-zero chance of winning.

    Should have let her run her little scam so she could go to jail like the other Karen’s.

    I didn’t realize Musk bought citizenship for his apartheid mother. And she’s here quoting sovcit qnut conspiracy garbage at us like it’s a real thing. Fuck the Musk family until the end of time.

      That’s the result of being rich and not knowing what consequences are.

      Imaging touching a hot plate and not burning yourself. What incentive would there be to not touch that plate?

      Yes. And that they have to ‘win’. And that the consequences for other people ‘don’t matter’.

      When you have enough money and power to avoid experiencing the vast majority of consequences of your actions, then life does become a game for the vast majority of the time.

      The reluctance of governments to take action against the rich and powerful just feeds their delusions further.

      Well if it wasn’t there would be consequences for this shit. As far as their concerned it’s all just theater until there’s a judge involved. And let’s be honest here. They’re basically right at this point.
