Biden’s America: Trump Supporter Convicted, Faces TEN Years In Prison For A Meme

15

The Biden regime has once again shown what it has in store for those who still dare to dissent in our brand-new banana republic: on Friday, a 33-year-old Trump supporter named Douglass Mackey was convicted of election interference and faces up to ten years in prison for tweeting pro-Trump memes during the 2016 election. Yes, it has come to this, and it’s they’re just getting started: it’s going to get a lot worse.

According to a Friday press release for what we now know is the Orwellian-named “Justice” Department , Mackey, using the name Ricky Vaughn, “established an audience on Twitter with approximately 58,000 followers. A February 2016 analysis by the MIT Media Lab ranked Mackey as the 107th most important influencer of the then-upcoming Presidential Election.”

The Justice For Democrats Department didn’t bother to explain exactly what it means to have held a position so illustrious as that of the 107th most important influencer of the 2016 presidential election. How did the DoJ go about determining this? Did it somehow discover that Mackey/Vaughn had induced a certain number of people to change their votes, but that 106 other people had gotten people to change more votes?

Despite this inadvertent admission that what “Ricky Vaughn” was doing was essentially harmless, Mackey was convicted “by a federal jury in Brooklyn of the charge of Conspiracy Against Rights stemming from his scheme to deprive individuals of their constitutional right to vote.” That’s what he faces ten years in prison for doing. Mackey’s “conspiracy” was really quite simple. While the language the Department Formerly Associated with Justice used sounds quite weighty and conjures up images of Mackey meeting in dark rooms with other sinister figures to plot ways to sabotage voting machines or prevent people from being able to enter polling places, what they’re really talking about is a meme.

It gets even worse, as these things usually do: back in mid-March, Mackey’s trial was “delayed at his counsel’s request due to a planned Southern Poverty Law Center article on the defense’s would-be expert witness, George Hawley, an associate professor of political science from the University of Alabama.” Mackey’s attorney contended that the article, by “journalist” Luke O’Brien, a fascist who frequently targets dissidents and other foes of the elites, “‘unfairly disparages’ Hawley and is partially based on the professor’s ‘private emails.’ Mr. O’Brien waited until the start of trial to submit written questions to Professor Hawley in an apparent attempt to paint him as an extremist, including questions based on private emails which Mr. O’Brien obtained, simultaneously asking Professor Hawley if his employer, the University of Alabama, is aware of his proffered testimony at Mr. Mackey’s trial.” This naked attempt at witness intimidation has, of course, gone unpunished, as it came from a Leftist.

And so now Mackey faces prison for memes such as this. Vaughn tweeted a photo of what looked like a Hillary ad, but was actually a parody of a Hillary ad. The caption read: “Avoid the line. Vote from home. Text ‘Hillary’ to 59925. Vote for Hillary and be a part of history.” The Justice Unless You Support Trump Department explained that this was a heinous crime because “Mackey conspired with other influential Twitter users and with members of private online groups to use social media platforms, including Twitter, to disseminate fraudulent messages that encouraged supporters of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to ‘vote’ via text message or social media which, in reality, was legally invalid.” Yeah, wow, doggonit, that sounds terrible. Thousands, maybe even millions, of people, must have been bamboozled by the 107th most important influencer of the then-upcoming Presidential Election to send in a text and think they had voted, right?

No. The Justice Department, according to the Post Millennial, “was unable to provide evidence that anyone was deceived by the meme.” Not even a single person. What’s more, at least one memester on the other side did exactly the same thing, and was never arrested or tried, and faces no prison time. On Nov. 8, 2016, which was election day, Kristina Wong tweeted a video of a Trump supporter with the caption: “Hey Trump Supporters! Skip poll lines at #Election2016 and TEXT in your vote! Text votes are legit. Or vote tomorrow on Super Wednesday!” Not only was Kristina Wong never prosecuted, but her tweet is still live. Yet she did exactly the same thing Douglass Mackey did. She just had the good sense to do it against Trump, rather than against Hillary.

This is just the beginning of America as a banana republic. The authoritarian Leftists who are now in charge will not stop with Douglass Mackey

As said, the country we have known is dead. It is a leftist dictatorship now where everyone is thrown in jail and indicted who is not a Communist Progressive. This affects both politicians and normal citizens. Nobody is safe.

Voting is meaningless now as every non-leftist politician will be indicted and removed from power. Cheating is no longer necessary. What can we still do?

Secede all the Conservative parts of the country and persecute all the Democrats in that parts also for bogus crimes. Give them the same medicine they are giving you.

They drive too fast, throw away some litter or a part of their car does not work well? Report them to the police and indict them. Make sure these Democrat Communists are unable to ever feel safe again in Conservative parts of the country. Do it like it happened to Putin – issue for all Democrats including Biden arrest warrants!

Stop pay your taxes, refuse to buy from Democrat leaning businesses, make mass protests, try to arm yourself – as they come for your families and children next – so you can protect yourself.

Resist in every way possible, stand up against this injustice and fight back in whatever for a way possible!

This is what those that voted for Biden, voted for in 2020. This is why there should be a drive to scrap the 26th Amendment and raise the minimum voting age to up to 30. There should be more penalties besides the business of merely refusing to hire anybody from the classes of Yale and Stanford Law Schools as law clerks. Make it a burden and liability to hate America and support socialism as the 18-29 age group clearly does today. Do not hire any in that age group in any job.

“According to Herodotus, the ancient Persians felt that what was necessary in the background of a young man entering adulthood was his ability to ride, shoot straight, and speak the truth. Perhaps we should now grant our college degrees to young men who measure up to that standard.”—Jeff Cooper

If Fascism ever comes to America it will come disguised as Liberalism… Ronald Reagan.
I didnt understand that statement way back then but I certainly do now.
It has arrived just as Reagan said it would.

I hated socialism/communism/fascism…even before the Left started calling it ‘liberal’ and ‘progressive’.

In order for the prosecution claims to be considered credible, one would have to believe that vote by text is a means to vote.

The problem is that Democrats are stupid and everyone knows it. It is why the Democrat leadership (also stupid) claims they don’t want voter ID. Their voters are too stupid to know how to obtain one (everyone knows the real reason). So therefore, if their voters are too stupid to figure out how to get a voter ID then of course they are going to fall for a meme telling them they can text in their vote.

The Left wants people just smart enough to keep working and paying taxes…to pay for all their ‘social justice’ programs that just suck the money down a bottomless pit with no positive return, but…dumb enough to keep voting for their policies and candidates.

“All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.”—George Orwell
“We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.”—Ayn Rand
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.”—H. L. Mencken
“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.”—Harry S. Truman
The ‘creeping’ socialism/communism/fascism ideology of the Left has been sneaking up on us for years. It has crept into almost every facet of our society. Can it be stopped? Yes, it can, but…people are going to have to take or make a stand against it. People are going to have to speak out against it. The old adage that ‘freedom isn’t free’, is very true. Freedom is never ‘free’, it must be fought for and if we don’t fight for it we will lose it and once lost, the chances of regaining it, while possible, become more and more remote. They are taking our freedom and liberty by little nibbles, here and there, and every time we tolerate it…the camel works its way deeper into the tent.
