    Interesting no one has mentioned the 2000 election shenanigans yet. That was some real stolen election shit

      That’s exactly where the timeline jumped the tracks. if Gore’s election is properly counted, there’s potentially no 9/11, but certainly no Iraq and probably no Afghanistan as we know it. And without Bush and the whiplash against him and those events, there’s no Obama. And without the mouth breather whiplash to Obama, there’s no Trump.

      So yeah, I would say that the republicans fucking around in south Florida is what caused the rift.

      Florida? Yeah I heard a podcast about this, eerily similar to all that’s been happening around the last 2 elections.

        I lived through it - in Florida - and it was every bit as shady and disgusting as you would think, and then some.

        Especially that Brooks Brothers Riot of “concerned citizens” who were actually GOP operatives demanding a recount. That fucking sickens me to this day.

        (I showed my spouse an article about that a few years ago and he was horrified. He’d had no idea, although I don’t fault him for that since he was on float at the time)
