For all the betas on here who think Republicans can't another election.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was Caught On Tape arguing that Republicans should engage in “corrupt as hell” voting practices until they can be banned.

In an interview that was recorded on Thursday, podcast host Charlie Kirk asked DeSantis about so-called ballot harvesting and “Zuckerbucks,” a right-wing phrase meaning private donations that help run elections.”

“I think Zuckerbucks is corrupt as hell, but if it’s legal and the Democrats are doing it, why aren’t we doing it?” he asked. “I would say ban ballot harvesting and do all that. But if it’s not banned, you need to do it because, otherwise, we’re fighting with one hand tied behind our back.”

If it’s legal practices as he mentions further down, maybe “corrupt as hell” wasn’t the ideal phraseology to use.

A thing can be legal and still "corrupt" as it pertains to elections, voting, etc... and in this case, it is.

I agree with him. If it’s legal R’s should be doing it as well.

I agree. But the problem is the rigged game the Dims have created specifically benefits Dims, even if Reps start doing the same stuff.

Also, the justice department will go after conservatives and Republicans for the same things with extreme prejudice.

Ultimately if this stuff is continued to be left unchecked, it is going to end in either a bloody civil war or subjugation.

Sure, something can be corrupt and legal at the same time. No disagreement there. I mean not ideal perception-wise and unintentionally producing ammo available for use by his foes.

Trump talked about this a while back. aFew days ago retruthed that we should place boxes in the churches.



I disagree with both of them. That concedes ground and the left will move to the next level.

As do I... countering evil by doing evil is never a worthwhile strategy.

BDR gets it. But, watch the FBI ———- crack down and find “civil rights violations” when the right does it.

It’s the only way. I’d have every swing state with a 200% voter turnout.

we cannot do that without the 75 years of base support in the high population urban areas with their tens of thousands of 'public servants' in charge of every aspect of voter registration, election preparation, election execution, election supervision and control, and ballot counting, as well as all the related support functions required to support an election from the postal service to highway maintenance.

They have an army - an army that thinks it is doing 'god's work' in furthering the only paradigm they've ever known.

They are doing the "right thing" because -you know - 'protect our democracy'
