Hey y’all remember that time Katharine Harris purged 120,000 mostly-black voters from the records just prior to the FL 2000 pesidential election that Al Gore won but got denied by Katharine Harris and a conservative SCOTUS? Member that?
Aw man and then we had 9/11 and Iraq II, the Sanctity of Marriage Act and the financial system collapse?
And she bought the voter list from Texas! Which. Huh.
Remember how a bunch of Republican staffers rioted and tried to intimidate the vote counters in Florida? (The "Brooks Brothers riot".) Remember when the Supreme Court halted the vote count and declared Bush has won? Remember how the eventual full count of the votes showed Gore won by all metrics?
I fucking remember that.
@winterayars @homesweethomeMrL And Roger Stone was behind that.
Fucker.
@winterayars @homesweethomeMrL I won't ever forget. And of course there's this

Yeah all the participants of the 2000 election steal got rewarded big time.
It was a coup. Call it what it was. It was a fucking coup. And a successful one.
I mean that by itself wasn't, but yeah overall the Bush administration and 2000 Republican Party is just as guilty of pulling a coup as Trump. Moreso, even. (Actually a lot moreso.)
The country just turns a blind eye because they don't want to admit the whole bush presidency was illegitimate.
No, that absolutely was a coup. They stopped the recount to install Bush.
