Cont: Trump’s Coup - Part 2

[Crazy Chainsaw]

And, you also said it is still being grown in the same areas, just in more efficient fashions by larger operations. What does the government owe to the people to preserve the career that is no longer economically viable? Small farms are being rolled into large farms all over the country because that is how to best farm now.

Monoculture farms are destroying the environment, they are not an Improvement.

Worked the same way for my neighbor, after I traded him my ballot for a 6-pack. I admire the integrity of the process, as I am sure you do.

I wasn't worried too much about it, tbh. I got my votes in, and then some. My roommate works at the post office, and he culled some extra ballots. So, free 6-pack. Win-win.

Great process.

Sigh. More childish conspiratorial nonsense.
Plonk.

Okay either get me from "I don't like farming techniques being used" to "Therefore storm the Capitol" in less than ten steps, drop this, or get to some other point.

Small farms are also 'monoculture' they use the same techniques as larger farms.

What has the problems with America's farming economy have to do with
the storming of the Capitol? I have a suspicion that most of those who stormed the Capitol had no real interest in any of these. They were basically mindless drones responding to a dog whistle.

Don't play his game. Even if what he said was true, one vote isn't likely to sway the election. It would take a large number of illegal votes to make a difference. That would be quite an endeavor that would be nearly impossible to keep secret. There is no evidence that anything like that has occurred.

It would be absolutely impossible for seven million fake votes to go unnoticed. Especially after repeated control counts.

ETA ... Oh I see I was several pages behind. Sorry ...

 

[JoeMorgue]

Nobody actually believes, as in intellectually the actual opinion, that there is a massive voter fraud from illegal votes.

They either

A) Trolls or

B) People too stupid to actually form their own opinions and therefore get their information from trolls, thinking it is real.

Do you Farm?

That's what I want to know.

Distrust in the Government come from government promises not being Kept and from courption in Government, Like why were Tobacco Companies protected from lawsuits in the Tobacco Buyout deal?
Farmers who raised the high Nicotine Tobacco were not protected.

I give a **** about people learning one very specific skill and not being able to (or pretend to not be able to) cope if their one very specific job goes away.

That's why you need a very particular set of skills.

 

[Crazy Chainsaw]

That's what I want to know.

Some of the Insurrectionist are connected to farmer and Ranching Movements that saw Trump as a savor from government over reach.
The Oath Keepers originally started as Oklahoma city bombing Conspiracy theorists I delt with them often on the MySpace Republican forum.
They wanted an insurrection in 2008, I remember their leader very well.

 

[eerok]

Tobacco could have been replaced by hemp, before Canada became a Giant in the Hemp industry but there was significant objection to that.
It isn't about the skill it's about the infrastructure investment needed to grow Tobacco, Barns and equipment and a lot more.
There was no crops to replace it.

I live in the middle of what used to be Canadian tobacco country, and one of the replacement crops here is ginseng.

Monoculture farms are destroying the environment, they are not an Improvement.

But you just argued that this land can literally not be used for growing anything but Tabaco.

 

[JoeMorgue]

Listen I don't remember a bunch of Silicone Valley Speculator Investors storming the Capitol after the Web 2.0 Ecommerce bubble burst, killing people and stealing podiums because Pets.com and Ask Jeeves went under so... yeah.

"I lost my job" does not get you to "Coup" no matter what route you take.

I all boils down to distrust in the Government, and belief a Non political con Man can fix it. After all there were two attempted Coups on the 6th.

I count one.

 

[Crazy Chainsaw]

I count one.

One Political White House, send the vote back to the States,
The Second Idiot in the Capitol to defend your second Amendment rights.

Trump was Swift Boated out of the Coup he wanted by the idiot conspiracy theorist that attacked the Capitol, that's why I didn't call Homeland Security on the 5th. I might have stopped the attack with one phone call, I feel so bad that I didn't, but I didn't know if I would have been taken seriously or if I would help Trump remain in power!
It was an Impossible choice to make, and I am so sorry I don't know if I made the right one or not.
I feel so Guilty and at Fault.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

He's not strictly wrong.

Yes, he is. This is from your link:

All 50 states require a valid signature for an absentee/mail-in ballot to be counted.

... I'm in one of the "no signature matching" states. I looked through our statutes and there are random sample groups checked in each ward and precinct. The verification rate must pass a threshold and if not, a full audit is required....

How is using a system of checking some signatures with a systematic sampling not a signature checking state?


There are some disturbing things on that link. There are a number of additional requirements for mail-in ballots that look clearly intended to make it harder to vote.
