While it is true that in a democracy the ruling class would not have to rely on mass cheating, the USA went there.

One could argue that mass cheating has been part of regular politics since the 1800s, and made worse recently by voting machines run by private companies using closed source hardware and software.

The USA has sunk so far down below the democracies of the world, that it will take extra steps to correct, just to get back to the issues the other countries see day to day.

But, the average voter will find it hard to admit they have not only been tricked once, but twice (that it is a sham, and the mechanism of the sham is a scam). I fully expect the vast majority of people interested in the politics and reformation of the USA to ignore the sketchy vote counts for at least another generation, if not more. However, there cannot be any real reform until it is addressed.

To convince people there are other options, including socialism, they need to be shown their true chains.

But because people will refuse to see this, it means the only true path forward is not using the current system at all.

Everything is fine

One cannot technically throw the election if the counting of the ballots is not understood, and there is already mass cheating.

they voted for

Nobody can prove the winners of the elections, going back decades in the USA , are actually the winners. It is a thing of faith

Always has been.

Republicans in Georgia do not want the metro areas to grow more, fearing a change in political power.

Federal goons hate electric cars.

Saving money may not be enough. The value of savings can evaporate. Especially if Trump starts shaking the federal reserve like someone shakes a fruit tree to make it drop goodies.

Buying goods now, tradable on the black market later, may be helpful

Serial rapists like him can easily have over a thousand victims since he hit puberty. That works out to slightly more than one new victim a month.

He is in the process of harming and killing so many orders of magnitude more people by both his direct and indirect actions.

He is a rapist - probably still hurting people that way now; a thug and a murderer.

People are concerned about his previous victims; and many more Americans are going to die or be hurt from him in the next three years. Including perhaps some reading this.

As usual trans are the test case. If this succeeds then other groups will be added to the list. I would not be surprised at eventual bans on all immigrants and activists

Pretty sure Israel is one of ten countries blackmailing him now

Given that the entire Democratic Party, at the national level, is managed opposition, and not just its leaders.

It’s not going to change much if they stepped down today.

Nothing will significantly change in the USA, for most people, until there is a new burst of activity in local city and county politics. And not just some enlightened movements in too few large cities

Perhaps the Supreme Court will overrule this?

I think the two peoples have much in common; probably more than many realize.

I think the best web page is a photo with a page of paper of handwriting : several photos if one has a lot to say.

Today’s bandwidth and powerful computers can easily handle it

Nobody will target him.

The USA is very safe for his type to exist.

These people either don’t care they lie or have zero introspection.

Most probably he dealt with it and moved on, unchanged

Security through obesity also

Yes, and the way to solve this is to develop the platforms more. I tend to think of the fediverse as a work in progress, and will be maybe the grandparent of better networks that have less failings. Certainly it is a necessary step.

We can help by both supporting the current iterations: either in funding or programming or just using it. And thinking of the next steps

I do not understand all the changes in tech, so much new happens each day. Some changes each day are good. But like you imply, much bad happens daily. I say daily because millions contribute.

But change is the only constant here. And a state of constant flux, historically, is not helpful to the ruling classes. Its not that helpful to the workers either. But the stage is not set for one to win over the other yet.

We have a few decades before nano technology ensures the wealthy will win. It will be a challenge between that, and climate change. Surely we are in the most decisive moments of human evolution, and world history for life. There are so many ways to fail, and only a few to succeed.
