    The US doesn’t already have a troll army? Every other country is doing it. With AI shitposting it’s never been easier.

    Still, I’m begrudgingly impressed that someone working directly for Hegseth has the technical wherewithal to put together a database.

      It’ll turn out to be an Excel spreadsheet with no formatting rules.

    Isn’t it pretty easy in the US?

    For some reason people need to register with their government what their political affiliation is. Not sure if any other country in the world does this but it’s stupid as fuck for every reason.

    Poison their data? Everyone change their political affiliation to NPA. Then vote however you want.

          I respect that he pays sex-workers for sex and doesn’t offer them gigs on TV shows that he never intends to deliver on in order to score a freebie by cornering a woman in a hotel room. Rape by another name in my opinion.

      Yep. Most states already do this and have for a long time. It’s not freely accessible and searchable, but you only need to know the information of the person to find more info on the states page.

      I’m a socialist liberal who thinks Donald Trump should be struck into a conscious but unable to communicate vegetative state. Ya fuck wits, register that.

      But I was told we were overreacting when we said Trump was a fascist and would do fascism.

        Yeah, but it’s not like the fascists had their plan written down in a todo list or anything. Like a project or something. Scheduled for 2025 maybe.
