Nothing brings conservatives to the polls harder than there being important ballot measures to quash. Marijuana and abortion are both on the ballot. Every single conservative in Florida is going to make sure to show up for this one.

They still failed to defeat the marijuana and the abortion ballot measure in Ohio so hopefully that will happen again in Florida.

Fuck Kristi Noem.

If that happens it’ll just be a half assed January 6th thing again. If there was a “real” civil war, both sides of the political divide would be fighing each other more than the actual current government. It would probably just devolve into terrorists blowing each other up all the time in more of a gang warfare type thing.

If he can bankrupt a casino hopefully he can bankrupt the entire republican regime

Yeah well the other side also wants to take away our household appliances and our meat, and also everything else by enabling corporations to squeeze everyone dry even more than they already are.

I hope he goes bankrupt and loses everything - just like all lower class people will if the GOP gets their way.

It’ll get commuted to $3.50 which he still won’t bother to pay.

Even North Korea has smartphones. This moron is flying a little too close to the sun. Of all the terrible things that might actually become law someday, an all out smartphone ban isn’t one of them.

Everything is going to get a fuck of a lot worse if Biden loses. If Biden wins, things won’t get better but at least things won’t get worse at a more rapid rate. I’m sorry but if not wanting to send marginalized groups to concentration camps makes me a radical liberal then I guess I’m a radical liberal 🤷

If a news article gets downvoted hard enough, the event in question gets cancelled. Trust me bruh.

To my server? 4mbytes/sec on a good day. I haven’t reinstalled my os in years so things are getting really fucky. It’s actually a security measure. My shit is so slow that I’d like to think potential cyber attacks would take too long for it to be worth anyone’s time.

Telecommunication companies have special licensing that allows them to offer mobile data without following all the same rules they would otherwise have to follow if they used different frequencies. Cell phone network data isn’t regulated the same as other frequencies.

If you wirelessly access an SSL website over an amateur packet radio system, you are breaking the law. Almost no one ever does this but it’s still bullshit that it’s not allowed.

I think banning vpns like several borderline dictatorships have is still a little far fetched. This would have a negative impact on companies who use them who are the ones that tell congress what to do. Although they could always make it so that large corporations can get certain exceptions and legally using a vpn is just a matter of how much money they fork over to the fcc for a license or something.

It’s currently illegal to transmit encrypted data over most non-2.4Ghz radio frequencies unless you’re a telecommunication company. No one even cares enough to get mad about this. I imagine they’d eventually reuse whatever playbook they used to accomplish this.

I hope the Trump bubble collaspes before the election and causes such a spectacular shitshow that the republican party ceases to exist.

They were taking about it at some point and they did ban encryption. I don’t live there, I just go off of what gets posted to lemmy.

Now it’s only a matter of time before Texas makes vpns illegal. Just like the UK and then Italy. Fucking fascists.

Huh… I’m not well off but I wasn’t 4 years ago either. Still coasting off the savings I stockpiled from when times were easier and Obama was president though.

How this could be justifiable in anyone’s mind is shocking to me.

The thought process is generally “these people are homeless because they do drugs. Drugs have no place in our society. They’re better off in prison or dead”.

I disagree with this opinion but it’s the opinion people have. Personally, I think they should ban thc drug tests that check for non phychoactive metabolites (in all jobs) and then see if people still fall to fentanyl. This would give everyone that’s going to do drugs anyway a healthier but still effective alternative. It might just work. It’ll cut down on alcohol abuse too.

The economy improving because Trump sends all the people conservatives don’t like to concentration camps, making it easier for others to get a job simply because there is less competition, isn’t worth it. If that’s the alternative I’d rather the economy be “bad”.
