I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

So... There's precedent, from the #Democrat side :
FLASHBACK: Democrats object to counting Electoral College votes in 2000 and 2004
The last three times a #Republican has been elected president of the United States, #Democrats in the House of Representatives have brought objections to the electoral votes the Republican nominee won.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." – C.S. Lewis ( on government response to #COVID and other crises?)

Who would have thought that sand / dirt from a uranium mine would be radioactive?

A mere 2.2M tons of this material was spread across the Colorado Western Slope (mostly near Grand Junction). There is a dump near there that takes this waste - recently funded for another decade with the huge omnibus bill.

When you win a record low 17% of counties, lose Black & Hispanic support, lose 18/19 Bellwether Counties, lose Ohio, Florida, & Iowa — and lose 27/27 House "Toss-Ups" — but you shatter the popular vote record❗️

Interesting . . . Trump margin of “defeat” in 4 states occurred in 4 data dumps between 1:34-6:31 AM. Statistical anomaly? Fraud? Look at the evidence and decide for yourself.(That is, if Big Tech allows u to read this)

" May the odds be ever in your favor,” governor Polis stated, alluding to the fictional Hunger Game series, in which the government manipulates the public to live in fear and cowardice. #Polis continues to push the fear and cowardice narrative, apparently thinking that The Hunger Games is a handbook for authoritarian leaders.
