Viktor Orban didn’t cancel any elections and never arrested people for social media posts. He also stepped down after his election loss and is partaking in a peaceful transfer of power.
But, don’t forget, he was a dictator.
Keir Starmer attempted to cancel about 1,000 local council elections next month and arrests about 12,000 people a year for social media posts. He also refused to let a rival run for a seat in a by-election because he was worried it would be a threat to his leadership.
But, don’t forget, he’s a democratic leader.

Hello.
It's important we all stay in our specific lanes of expertise.
We respectfully never comment about your specific lane of expertise which is:

We ask you show us the same respect please....
MAJOR BREAKING:
Kuwait, who produces 2.8 million barrels of oil each day or 84 million barrels per month officially confirms it has cut oil production.
People just don’t understand how big of a mistake. This really was by Trump. He vastly miscalculated the tools that Iran has to harm the US economy.

Conservatives say that guns are for sport, hunting, and self defense because that’s what they use them for.
Liberals say that guns are for killing people because that’s what they use them for.

FDR was a shit president and the closest America has ever come to a dictator.
-He was the only U.S. president to serve more than two terms and literally had to die in office to leave it. Term limits were literally added because of him. Previously, it was just a respected tradition.
-He authorized the internment of over 110,000 Japanese Americans, most of them U.S. citizens, stripping them of their rights and throwing them into concentration camps.
-He confiscated all privately held gold, criminalizing gold ownership and forcing Americans to sell it to the government at a fixed price. Then raised the price afterward, devaluing the dollar.
-When the Supreme Court struck down multiple New Deal programs as unconstitutional, he threatened to pack the Court by adding extra justices who would ok his policies.
-During the Great Depression, the Roosevelt administration paid farmers to destroy crops and slaughter livestock to artificially raise prices, even while millions were starving.
-He refused to support anti-lynching legislation, fearing it would alienate Southern Democrats. Despite repeated efforts by civil rights groups, he prioritized political alliances over human rights.

It is not insignificant that the content being given to you every day is called your “feed”.
The opinion-making class sees you as nothing but livestock to be fattened with their propaganda.

If the election outcome is as I expected, it should cause the large minority of the country who supported @KamalaHarris and predicted her victory to begin to question their sources of truth.
Half the country has believed that @X is filled with mis- and disinformation, and that they could only therefore rely on The NY Times, MSNBC, CNN and other mainstream media for their news. And they did.
If, however, you have been active on @X for the last year, you have known the truth days, weeks and often months before the facts appear in the MSM.
The MSM excerpted, clipped and cut to defame @realDonaldTrump while claiming that @JoeBiden was fit as a fiddle. Then when Biden’s polls collapsed, @KamalaHarris was anointed the candidate and her hagiography was written with glowing acclaim from the press. But this could not hold as she ducked the media and held fast to the teleprompter.
Citizen journalists with their phone cameras in hand captured the real Kamala forcing her to defend her record and her plans in more media appearances. It did not go well and the public demanded to learn more so @KamalaHarris had to risk more unscripted media.
The doom loop was underway with perhaps 60 Minutes as one of the more dramatic examples, even after CBS tried to save her, most glaringly by excerpting one answer to replace a word salad response to another. But the citizen journalists on @X quickly caught and outed this fraud and demanded a transcript.
As many who supported Kamala began to realize that they have been misled, they became open to Trump as an alternative, but they didn’t want to rely on the media to understand him because they did not want to be misled again.
They wanted to hear the candidate in his own words and that is where @lexfridman and @joeroganhq long form podcasts came to the rescue. When Kamala was offered the same opportunities to explain herself, she rejected them. And the voting public could only draw a negative inference.
When the story of this election is written, I expect it will be as much about how half of America woke up to the reality that they have been manipulated by the media. This should lead to an abandonment by many of the MSM as their primary source of information. It will push more people to @X, to podcasts and other empirical sources, and it will lead to a more informed public.
The other outcome I hope happens is the implosion of the Democratic Party. The Party lied to the American people about the cognitive health and fitness of the president. It prevented, threatened, litigated and otherwise eliminated the ability of other candidates for the primary to compete, to get on ballots, and to even participate in a debate. The Party and the administration used lawfare in an attempt to imprison, bankrupt or otherwise kill off Trump as a candidate. These acts are collectively grave threats to our democracy. With the highest irony in order to hide these acts, the Party accused the opposition candidate of being the grave threat to democracy.
The Democratic Party proved itself to be fundamentally undemocratic. It needs a complete reboot. The leadership should be thrown out and those responsible should apologize to the American people.
Honest Abe said it best:
You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
I believe that @realDonaldTrump will win in a decisive victory and potentially a landslide Electoral College outcome tomorrow. I could of course be totally wrong, but that helps elevate an important point.
Approximately half the country will be unhappy about the election outcome, potentially devastatingly so. In this context, I think it is important to remember that we are one country, and we will survive whoever is our next president.
What we must avoid, however, is a world where our fellow citizens who are disappointed raise hell or otherwise revolt about the outcome. The peaceful transfer of power is a critical feature of our democracy that must be maintained for us to succeed.
The system is stronger than any one candidate. We will thrive long term no matter the outcome of this election because the system will heal itself. That’s been a feature of our democracy for nearly 250 years and I expect it to continue.
Let’s therefore be civil and accept the collective will of our democratic process. We have many enemies that want internecine battles in America to weaken us. We cannot let this happen. The world is a dangerous place and we need to be unified to protect our country and our children.
