If Donald Trump’s administration really wants to find evidence of foreign interference in Georgia’s elections, then they need look no further than the president’s old friend Elon Musk and his shady super PAC.

Members of the Georgia State Elections Board voted Wednesday to issue a formal letter of reprimand to Musk’s America PAC over the billionaire technocrat’s illegal scheme to get Trump elected. Georgia, a key battleground state in 2024, was the target of aggressive campaigning by Trump’s team.

Well, fortunately for us, everything they've tried so far has backfired, because they didn't account for the fact that unleashing the Gestapo would piss off both red and blue states. Even the push for gerrymandering backfired, not because of Democratic opposition, but because they got their asses kicked in the 2025 elections and can no longer adequately project which races will favor them.

backfired

WHAT? You mean the dictator that personally controls every agency, the SC, most of Congress, a ton of mainstream wide-reaching media, and represents the billionaire ruling elite (Musk et al) that further control every other institution in America? They've set back America by DECADES with what they've done. We need to take some serious action to unfuck things, but it will take a long long time.
