Anyone who refers to AI as "an artificial intelligence supercomputer" sounds like peak boomer to me
Anyone who says "artificial intelligence supercomputer" used chatGPT on their phone
I can only imagine what kind of "data" they think they are feeding this "artificial intelligence supercomputer" that is apparently counting ballots by not physically counting them? Also love that they supposedly have a "mathematician" also using some sort of "data" to somehow count ballots without counting them (and if this person exists they are almost certainly a high school math teacher that is just part of the cult).
I'm sure what they think they are doing is using one of these error filled lists created by these conservative organizations, and then using statistics to try and show how the numbers have to be in their favor. They don't understand that garbage in = garbage out, and it's why nothing they are using is anything but a waste of time and wouldn't even be admissible in court.
You're giving them too much benefit of the doubt. Most likely, the numbers were pulled from their ass. Easy enough to find since they don it like a ski mask every day.
The problem is they have all this bad data they acquire from these groups, and then use it to fuel these conspiracy's (like 2000 mules) that their base that has been conditioned not to question, and then we get things like January 6th. And they have already begun laying the ground work to take this country by force if needed this time around. They have fake electors, and election denial people in high places all over the country. Trump has been priming the base with the whole "the only way we could lose is if they cheat" line all over again. And unfortunately, Biden doing that debate, and the fall out afterwards is only going to add gas to the conspiracy theories this go around. The Heritage Foundation president stated that Project 2025 will allow "conservatives" to take back our country without any blood shed, unless the Left does anything to try and stop them. They want to a civil war.
We need to stop brushing these people off like they are crazy and spewing a bunch of shit, which they are, but they have a cult (in law enforcement, in the Judiciary, lawyers out of the ass, and then millions of foot soldiers) ready to fight for them. When these asshats are screaming through a megaphone exactly who they are, and the crazy shit they want to do, we need to start taking them seriously.
I'm not trying to be dismissive of the incredibly real threat we're all facing, I'm saying that most things they claim to back up with evidence are based on bullshit. They only back shit up with lies and violence.
Robert Beadles is 47 years old. He was born in 1977. That's GenX, Mr. Vandelay.
Peak boomer is a state of mind
Jesus Christ. I'm 47 and I'm an idiot and I still know that an "AI supercomputer" isn't a thing and even if it was, it couldn't analyze elections like he seems to think it could.
It could be a thing but in this case it isn't
Rural either breeds technological literacy that is utterly contaminated by hate based understanding of it or technological illiteracy where they think anything shiny is super advanced. I am in the former, I like old tech because it works and I prefer the design philosophy of keep it simple stupid. Ive met plenty in the latter who think that the "internet box" can be improved with prayer meanwhile its choking on dust.
Reaganjugend eh
As a fellow Gen Xer, this dude is totally a Reaganjungend who probably grew up making fun of latchkey kids.
10 bucks says he had a dog named rambo.
Not only that, but if you trust AI to give you reliable, accurate information, you're a fucking idiot.
I'll have you know that AI has not given me false information since breakfast and it's nearly mid-morning
Just the first of many, MANY more to come.
The Republican plan, rather obviously, is to take this election by whatever means necessary - fairly, or if that fails fraudulently, or if that fails by judicial fiat, or if that fails by force.
That's the biggest reason I don't even call this a revolution. It's a coup.
Leave it to the boomers to create "quiet couping" :/
Have fun trying to 'vote out' fascism Nevada. Seems you're the first people who've been denied the right to the ballot box county wide. Hope you know what box is next. Lord know you have some of the loosest laws surrounding it.
Um ackschually, the saying is
There are four boxes to defend liberty: Soap, Ballot, Jury, Ammo. Please use in that order.
So, they're not quite there. Yet
Good luck with the jury box in this judicial climate.
There's still one more option.
The jury box is already poisoned.
If this works, and I would not be at all shocked if it works, this is going to be every election in this country in a Republican-dominated area where the Republican loses at any position on the ticket. President is a Democrat? Refuse to certify. Dog catcher is a Democrat? Refuse to certify.
This is particularly interesting because its not a right wing opposition to left wing winning a vote. Its a FAR right wing opposition to a right wing winning a vote.
The vote Tuesday was against certifying recounts for a Washoe County Commission Republican primary and a nonpartisan school board primary, both on June 11. The recounts were requested by a Republican who lost to incumbent Commissioner Clara Andriola and a right-leaning candidate in a crowded nonpartisan primary. Both got funding from local activist Robert Beadles.
Sure. “Reasonable” dipshit republicans have turned over their house, their car, and all their accounts to Demented Orange Rapist & Co.
Now they get to knit their brows over it while doing nothing of any consequence to stop it.
Here we go. The traitors are at work again.
They never stopped.
Every idiot that breaks civilization thinking “what’s the worst that can happen” deserves the worst that can happen.
