#Pagan Voices: #Reactions to the #2024 #US #Presidential #Election
November 6, 2024

I was “nauseously optimistic” going into Tuesday night’s election results but was shocked when my own previously reliably blue county went red as well. My heart is broken for all of us whose lives are, in one way or another, now so definitively o"...

@raymondpert Agree, and mind you, it took the gumption of an #Australia-based academic to #critique the susceptibility of #American #presidential #elections to being gamed.
🧐I'm still looking for useful critiques/analyses of this crucial topic emanating from researchers based in the US. Meanwhile, one wonders whether this topic, and the serious study of it, might have somehow been relegated as a "dead-end" or "career-fatal" endeavor for US-based #politicalscience academics?🤔

@Gustodon I have hypotheses

Group 1.Noise too much to bear: commercial social media arguing based on dubious “fact” boosted by algorithm in order to drive ad revenue plus nonstop broadcast ads. Bury head.

Group2. Purity tests applied resulted in null set.

Group3. Wedge issue ads or other got to them, and they just. Could. Not.

Note #UFelectionlab data: more people #voted that day than voted in the #presidential. They made the effort, voted state local but skipped presidential.

@DemocracyMattersALot Here's an interesting analysis/history of illegal #presidential orders. Bottom line, the military can't arrest or detain a president, especially given the #SCROTUM ruling but they can def ignore illegal orders. For example, #KentState could have been prevented if the #OHNG just refused to be used as cops.

Military.com · What Happens if the President Issues a Potentially Illegal Order to the Military?Military.com spent several months trying to unearth what existing safeguards and policies are in place to protect what has long been considered a hallmark of the U.S. -- an apolitical military that uses its power to fight the country's enemies.

As the tributes to President Jimmy Carter roll in -- following his passing last weekend and ahead of his state funeral next week,
it’s worth reexamining why a commitment to #presidential #ethics was important when he took office in 1977
— and why it still should matter today
as the most corrupt president in American history prepares to retake power

Trump invites #Xi to inauguration

If #Xi accepts, it will be 1st time a foreign leader attends a US #presidential #inauguration

#Trump also considering inviting Hungary's PM #Orban

Both #China & #Hungary remained #Kremlin allies during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Trump often expresses admiration for #authoritarian leaders, including traditionally adversarial relationships to the US. He praised Xi & Putin

There is no record of foreign leader attending

Tell your #Senators Confirm #Judges Committed to Protecting #CivilRights. As a 2nd #Trump admin approaches, we’re running out of time to confirm as many #federal #judges as possible to provide a check on his #presidential #power and curb his stated policy priorities. 48 Days 07 Hours 59 Minutes. There are 47 federal judicial #vacancies and 17 #nominations before the Senate right now—as our civil rights hang in the balance, take action now! #judiciary #court #womenshealth #justice #congress
