> [@leahcim](#): > > The Dilbert guy is out: [https://www.reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter/comments/yu4jev/the\_right\_has\_been\_stanning\_his\_unhinged\_hate/](https://www.reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter/comments/yu4jev/the_right_has_been_stanning_his_unhinged_hate/) He’s out like Graham was out after Jan 6th. The moment the Trump train is shown to have steam left he’ll be back on. It’s not like this is any worse than what Trump has shown against non-GOPs for six years running. The only reason some are attempting to distance themselves again is that there might actually be a real chance of pushing him out this time. Fingers crossed they can, and that they rip the GOP apart in the process. ---

So, Arizona loser Kari Lake has put up a website sympathizing with those who are feeling disenfranchised by all the voter fraud, and inviting people to share their stories with her team. Here is the website. > **[Arizonans Defending Democracy](https://forms.defenddemocracyaz.com/landing/arizonans-defending-democracy)** > > Were you kept from voting on election day? > >   > > Were you disenfranchised from voting? > >   > > Did you experience irregularities at the polls? > >   > > Report your experience immediately! > >   > > Statewide Arizona elections are tighter than e There’s no geo-filtering of any kind on the site, nothing that attempts to restrict contributions only to those who can be verified as being in Arizona. This is generous and thoughtful on the part of Lake’s team; election fraud can be conducted by anyone, anywhere, so naturally they’d want to cast a wide net. I, for example, haven’t set foot on American soil in many years, but even my story is welcome. It should be noted that the original version of this site had an “attach file” button, which, as I’m sure you can imagine, attracted all sorts of foul mischief from the assorted scoundrels and miscreants of the internet. That feature has since been removed. However, the form includes an open text field, in which you are invited to “Tell Us Your Story.” This is where you’re supposed to share your heartbreaking tale of seeing _Actual Liberals!_ at the polls, casting their treasonous votes without fear or shame. Except … this text field does not have a maximum character count. The user can type in literally as long a story as he or she wants. For example, if one is a nefarious and ill-intentioned villain, one can, if one wishes, paste **[all 55,000 words of Hunter S Thompson’s _Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas_](http://web.mit.edu/tibbetts/Public/fear_and_loathing.txt)** into the field, and click Submit. Naturally, I’m not encouraging anyone to actually _do_ this, to engage in these kinds of vandalizing shenanigans, because one can imagine that it wouldn’t take too many such submissions to cause the database to barf. And that would be _terrible._ ---

Okay, that website just begged for some fun. I posted the following, and had way too much enjoyment of it. > There I was, the fallen angel, Lucifer Morningstar, watching the election on Earth from the Pit of Hell (a Hello of a Hot place, makes summer in Phoenix, even with Global Warming look cool!) and disturbed that I was being unfairly prevented from voting for the greater of evils! How dare they deny me the right to vote when I’m not a resident of the great state of Arizona??? After all, what state could claim to be more Hellish than one that spends hundreds of millions of dollars on a farcical group such as CyberNinjas (really? you guys buy that? I guess souls are going on the CHEAP up there) when people can and do die of exposure on the streets. I mean, it’s my kind of place, all the sins of unspeakable pride, envy, and greed - I deserve to be able to vote for more of the same! > > But noooo, a totally honest and fair election for all registered voters just had to be held! Dammit, this is why I started an insurrection in Heaven (something many of your fellow residents and compatriots nationwide are totally with me in, you know, overthrowing the rightful order because it doesn’t support your false idol!) - when you can’t win something fairly, just using force, lies and murder, and you can make it yours! Of course, in retrospect, ending up in Hell (still better than Phoenix amirite?), and your friends ending up in jail, was not the exact conclusion I wanted, but at least it gives me a good chance to view all the good Arizonians who are lining up to join me down here! > > So come on down, you’re on the right path to a burning good time. > > All my love to the Arizona GOP, keep up the Good Work! > > Your Friend In Hell, > > Satan. ---

It would be a pity if someone cut and pasted the entire text of Wm. Shakespeare’s play Hamlet in that box. At over 29,000 words and 3782 lines it is Bill’s longest play. If that happened multiple times it could crash that site very quickly. Such a pity if that happened. ---
