Fox News Anchor Runs Segment Fact-Checking Baseless Claims About the Election
| 11/15/2020 |
Fox News Eric Shawn devoted a segment on Sunday afternoon debunking a number of claims made by President Donald Trump and his allies about a rigged election.
Shawn told viewers, Rigged election? Well, your own government, election officials across the country, and voting experts say T not true. Its not true. Baseless claims that are inflammatory, designed to undermine your faith in American democracy.
He showed video from U.S. election security official Ben Hovland saying, The reality is this was the most secure election weve ever had, and it was one of the most well-run elections weve ever had And this is about facts, this is about truth, this is about respecting our democracy.
Ok. Just fine. And reasonable.
This is the freeper response:
They joined the rest of Media (Praetorian Guard) Infotainment, big tech, Academia, Big corporations, etc in the Governmentality of the US Citizen.
Regardless of the election outcome, however, repressive and propagandistic governmentalitieists including academia, cultural institutions, culture industries, information and intelligence technologies, mass media, political movements, social media, woke corporations, and more are combining to effect a totalitarian creep under which its subjects are complicit in their own subjugation and hellbent to impose it on others.
Whether Trump or not-Trump is finally declared the winner of the 2020 US presidential election, we are in for the battle of our lives. A constellation of state and state-extended apparatuses has openly declared war on liberty, on us. We are all thought criminals now. Risk aversion will not do. What we risk by being risk averse is everything that makes human life worth living. In the face of an enemy that brazenly revels in its totalitarian character, it is time to put everything on the line for liberty. (Democratic Socialism is Slavery by Mob Rule)

(6,390 posts)I'm the oldest grandchild of a mostly ultra conservative family. Had a couple of uncles (one who dropped out of high school...got a GED a few years later)....and when it was announced I would be going to a university, with a very good reputation and was considered difficult to get into....they said, and I quote:
"Those places take you away from God!"
And it was non stop harassment after that, one uncle playing bad cop, saying I was defying God or I was going because I was lazy and didn't want to work as God commanded, "by the sweat of your brow". The other playing good cop, saying I should probably just go to a trade school and learn a trade and that will support me and a family once I settled down, etc.
I graduated and got a good job shortly afterward. Then they finally shut up.

I walked in 2007. He came to the graduation in an old, stained, ripped T-shirt and old jeans. He was always upset that I didn't get some restaurant or factory job and got married to the first guy that asked.

(6,011 posts)She was ostracized for leaving home in Southern Indiana for Chicago, to continue her education.
This was the early 1950s. She had family here in Chicago. She came here to go to school and to work.
Neither of those opportunities were available back home, except for a very religious college. That wasn't for her.
Her Dad never really forgave her for leaving. She "got above her raising". In his mind, her place was there, and nowhere better.
