If you count, there’s 13 stars. Might be some weird reactionary thing using the flag circa the constitutions adoption

Indeed. Have you looked at gestures broadly, it clearly works

I think whatever they’ll try won’t work. They’ll be too incompetent and meet too much resistance to pull it off

Every idiot in thr country will know a result like that is rigged, it would start a civil war

This. Exactly this. Honestly might drop Lemmy until December with all the doomerism here. My OCD can’t take it

The club of those who beat us includes only three members, two of which were proxy wars we ultimately weren’t willing to commit to. Not exactly a record that screams “easy target”

Well that’s the wonderful thing about being a cult leader. You’re the only one who can solve the problem. So you get whatever you want, you get all the credit when things go well, and when everything goes wrong… you become everyone’s scapegoat. It’s not a valid excuse, but it is human psychology.
