    Looking up to see which of your neighbors didn’t vote and then harangue them over it seems more like a blue MAGA thing than a red MAGA thing.

    Y’know, given the “quality” of the candidates, having a paper trail of not supporting either might be a desirable thing to have before too much longer… makima-think

      Framing a print out saying I didn’t vote and keeping it with a flash drive of all my hexbear posts to give to the Chinese advanced forces to prove my willingness to work with them lol

    I’d ask if this is intended to be as intimidating as it appears to be but obviously the answer is yes. Isn’t this literally what they mock the cultural revolution in China of doing? Of turning people into willing spies or enforcers for the ‘movement/ideology’?

      I’ve definitely been in 100 arguments with yanks about how draconian australian laws requiring you to vote are, now look at them, haha!

      you can ruin your ballot and get your name checked off, there’s no one forcing you to actually cast your vote, blahblah democracy

      There’s something about anticommunist pearl clutchers. Like they don’t actually disagree with the things they accuse Stalin, Mao etc of doing, they think that’s shit’s extremely cool and wish that they could do it themselves to their own political enemies. The pearl clutching is therefore entirely performative, “oh the Commies banned books they don’t like unlike us the free speech warriors”/“we should ban every book that depicts a non cishet person.”

        Some chuds are honest enough about admitting they believe that all “sides” are just as selfish and ruthless and want to fuck over everyone else. Their belief is clownishly wrong, but it’s how they feel.

    No chance they’ll just make assumptions that perfectly conform to their already held beliefs.

    Everybody who looks like a nice young man voted for republicans and all those other expletives voted for the commie.

      My sibling has Next Door and says it’s mostly just alerts whenever a brown or black person is walking down the street, also inquiries if anyone heard a gun shot, there’s a shooting range a couple miles away.

          A two-stroke leaf blower produces as much pollution as fifty suburban assault vehicles per unit of fuel, but they get really fucking mad and will give you a rage serenade on top of that boomer orchestra if you even suggest using a rake. grill-broke

      The local HOA asked me if I knew anything about setting up a website for their org. I told them I’d “look into it and see what kind of options are out there.” What I really thought was “lmao get fucked and thank Allah none of you have discovered Next Door.”
