[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s a bold idea that I would like to share with the GOP. Maybe just try getting votes by doing what the majority of your constituents want. It would be easier, much more productive, and more effective than all this cheating. Just give it a go! See what happens! [/quote]

Having ideas that are popular and help average people?? But that’s too much work and would interfere with culling the herd!

Brazen rule-flouting is exactly how authoritarianism operates.  Cheating is how they display that they’re powerful and above the rules.  Disenfranchisement is how they signal contempt for the little people, who shouldn’t be allowed to decide things because they’re obviously not as smart or they too would be billionaires rigging the system in their favor.  Chaos lets them invent problems that only they have the solution to.  Fair elections aren’t in their DNA.

It’s the same motivation that leads authoritarian men to rape 13 year olds on an island instead of simply having a normal monogamous adult relationship with a spouse or partner.  Same motivation that drives manosphere influencers to give their audience lazy shortcut tips for how to trick women and manipulate them into bed, instead of doing the obvious thing and making an effort to work on themselves and connect better with women.

If there’s an overly complicated method to get their way that will cause lots of people maximum pain, the authoritarian will always prefer that over the simple method of doing something that other people want.  Call it Occam’s Taser.

The real mystery is why anyone thinks this is a good way to govern.[/quote]
