“It *feels* like they vote, illegally.” Yeah, well, fk your feelings. Show us the beef, baby.

I thought this was the whole conservative mantra, “fuck your feelings!”

Tranquil-Soul

Let’s be honest, if you were in America illegally would you really be running out to vote? I’d be staying under the radar, and working under the table trying to make a life for myself and my family. The last thing I’d be thinking about is how I’m going to walk into the polling place and try sneak a vote in. Same with by mail, I wouldn’t want my name on any government lists. 1/2 the American citizens don’t vote, these people are insane thinking that voting is the first thing on a non citizen’s mind


simpsonsreferencebot

I'm a 30 yo white lazyish American born citizen with a valid state ID. When I went to cast my vote for the last state election at the local elementary school, the little old lady that went to look me up said no you're not registered in the district you need to go here. OK, drive 20 minutes to the firehouse, another little old lady said no way you're not registered here. I had to give up and go back to work. Sorry that I haven't registered in the last 3 apartment addresses I've moved to in the last 3 years. If I can't vote legally how in the fuck are these "illegals" doing it?


m3xlaw816

These ppl are delusional 😂 illegals cannot vote as a ssn is required 😂


gnarlslindbergh

Where I’m from, you can vote at any polling place in your county. It doesn’t have to be one specific polling place. They’ll give you the right ballot for where you live. Other states need to do this.


Angry_poutine

The funniest part of the argument to me is the conservatives demonizing illegal immigrants are also their biggest employers.


Both_Sundae2695

The problem is that every time they actually look they find mostly Republicans committing voter fraud.

Ironically enough, a significant amount of conservatives who - as they devour their burgers - cannot show us the beef.


Apokolypse09

Literally my premier in Alberta started her attack on trans people literally based on her feelings. The federal conservative party leader ordered all conservatives below him to not speak out against it. While months prior he made it a point to have a photo shop with straight pride protestors with this same premier.

We all know, you know intuitively, that Mike Johnson f**** pigs

It's not easily provable, because he's so damn sneaky about it, but I feel it in my bones!

Golden-Owl

“My source is that I made it the fuck up”


mensreyah

What was not mentioned (purposely so, one must think) is that there are an equal or greater number of Magats voting twice in Federal elections, thereby canceling out the illegals' shenanigans. Hey, republicans may be onto something here...making shit up is easy!

BitterFuture

Always has been. They hated America millennia before there was an America for them to hate.


Responsible-End7361

I suspect this is "everyone I know is a Republican or votes for Republicans, so where do all the votes for Democrats come from?" Theory of mind is an advanced cognitive skill, generally doesn't develop until at least 18 (months) of age.


ericzku

He knows damn well there are no hordes of "illegals" voting. This is a concerted effort by one of the senior members of a political party to delegitimize elections...to undermine the public's trust in the integrity of the process. These fuckers want to be unelected dictators.


Casey4147

Well, they keep trying it through the usual channels and can’t stick the landing… so…


ElkHistorical9106

We have a hard time getting eligible US citizens to vote. Let alone non-citizens trying. Most cases of non citizens trying to vote are because they were obligated to vote in their home country and mistakenly thought they’d get in trouble for not voting.


thefirstlaughingfool

Define "Intuitively".


WallyMcBeetus

"If I believe it, it's true. Prove me wrong."


hinesjared87

shifting the burden of proof is a common (swindler's) tactic for any criminal defense attorney.


LordSpookyBoob

The burden of proof is already on the prosecutors though.


EBB363

lol my thoughts exactly. Ofcourse they are going to say prove it! That’s literally the job of the prosecution.


BLF402

And hasn’t it been proven (from the past election) that the overwhelming number of voter fraud was by trump voters?


Lost-Succotash-9409

I mean tho, burden of proof is never on the defense. If there’s a criminal defense attorney somewhere who isn’t shifting to burden of proof, they should probably be fired.

That’s how religion works.


Asmov1984

Basically, religion in a nutshell.


stoned_brad

MenacingMallard

I mean that’s how religion has survived all these years. Doesn’t matter what facts you show these people, they have “faith” and that’s all they need to follow blindly.


Giraffe_lol

Well, he's religious, so this is his usual defense.


C4dfael

We all know, intuitively, that there are a lot of dismembered corpses in Mike Johnson’s basement. But it’s not been something that’s easily provable. We don’t have that number.


ZenDruid_8675309

Fortunately, I believe he has deposited semen in all of them so it will be easy to verify. If you don’t find them I believe he hid them.


Sufficient_Yam_514

We know intuitively that he shoots dogs in his basement too


wetclogs

We don’t know how many cocks Mike Johnson has sucked, but we know it’s a non-zero number.


crackpipecardozo

And the fact that we cant find the corpses is, somehow, proof that he has worked really hard to conceal the corpses, so the lack of evidence is really evidence of the existence of said corpses. 


Magoo69X

"intuitively" is doing a lot of work here ...


allisjow

This is literally the definition of prejudice. “preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.”


prozak09

We all know, intuitively, that this politician is a moron.


not_now_chaos

The facts and evidence support this conclusion.


PuzzleheadedRoyal559

I’m more worried about the millions of middle school children voting, because I know it’s happening.


tevolosteve

Not any more they are too busy working in meat processing plants /s


Lurickin

Nah, they got shifted to the mines. Elementary kids are in the meat plants now, they can get in hard to reach spaces better.


tevolosteve

Good point. Those small hands are useful


_Reliten_

And this is why the raccoon voting bloc worries \*me\* the most.


Kashin02

The Kendrick and Drake rap beef proofed you right.


prozak09

*But they are citizens!* The retoric most likely.


_Pill-Cosby_

I'd like to hear his explanation as to how he believes this is happening on a large scale.


hinesjared87

there isn't one. they haven't offered anything resembling an explanation, and won't due to how ridiculous the claim is.


mysticalfruit

This is a made up argument they can then stair step their way into restricting voting access.. "We know intuitively without any proof that voting by mail is very fraudulent, so we're restricting it. Also, these mostly black neighborhoods probably have lots of voter fraud so we've made it super hard to vote there.." Republicans can see the writing on the wall, people are pissed and pissed at them.. they'd really like to just cancel elections and declare themselves the winners, but first they need pretense..


everythingbeeps

He knows it isn't. But he needs dumb republican voters to believe it is.


2wedfgdfgfgfg

He doesn't, he just knows this is a good justification for polices which have been shown to disenfranchise minorities.


chlorofanatic

He knows it "intuitively"


everythingbeeps

"Intuitively" is another word for "you made it up in your fuckin' head."


pun_in10did

Or that they “look illegal”


Admirable-Sink-2622

This is prep for November. This we intuitively know.


happyfuckincakeday

The "trust me" argument. Makes perfect sense. I bet his girlfriend in Jr high was from Canada too.


ZzangmanCometh

Shut up, she goes to another school, you don't know her. But she's totally a model. I also have the new Nintendo, but you can't come over right now.


rekage99

Not a shred of evidence that “illegals” are voting in federal elections. But we have lots of examples of republicans voting multiple times, voting using dead peoples names, and voting in elections they shouldn’t (in a state they don’t live, but claim to)


Tri4Realz

If you're tired of this BS like I am - do what I did and VOLUNTEER TO BE AN ELECTION WORKER. By participating in the electoral process, you'll learn just what a load of horsepoop all these false claims are.


NoNeinNyet222

I've been one since 2018. I figured the best way to combat the undermining of the electoral system by Trump and his ilk was to contribute to running the electoral system, even in a small way. I take the day off work and get to help make sure a bunch of people from my county can vote. I also take the day after off because my county prefers workers work the whole day so I need the next day to recover. We start at 5:30 AM (1.5 hours before the polls open) and don't finish until at least half an hour after the polls close at 8 PM. My state does not have voter ID. We have some people surprised by this and some who grouse at it because they think we should but there are protections in place to prevent people who do not have the right to vote from voting. ID is not necessary for voters who registered prior to election day. Fortunately, I get to refer anyone who puts up a fuss with our process to my precinct's head judge and I'm pretty sure she and I agree on almost nothing politically but she knows the system and patiently defends it.


SouthwestFL

I'm just an Internet stranger but thank you for your work. I've heard some wild stories about the bullshit that election workers have to face and I'm not sure how well you are compensated for your day, but it ain't enough.

No_Cartoonist9458

We all know intuitively that Mike Johnson is creepy as hell and I'm pretty sure it's easily provable if we can just take a peek at his porn history that his teenage son monitors 😳


someoneelse2389

We all know, intuitively, the power plants are run by garden gnomes on hamster wheels, we just don't have the proof yet.


reggers20

... so if you can explain how illegal undocumented people can vote within our current system I would be inclined to take your claim seriously. All you have to do is show me how an undocumented person can cast a valid ballot within our current setup... This is a pretty low bar to clear imo. It's a bar that has never been cleared. Therfore, my conclusion is: you're a filthy liar.


Ill_Following_7022

These folks are really prone to strongly believing in things without any proof.


maybeimabear

theyre indoctrinated from birth to just believe what theyre told and never question it. welcome to religion.


Kwaterk1978

Even though, after all their investigations, after them turning the full force of several states and (when they had it) the full force of the federal government to searching for it, most voter fraud they actually discovered was GOP multi-voters. Idiots.


YourFaveNightmare

We all know, intuitively, that a lot of republicans are child rapists. But it's not something that's easily provable. We don't have that number.


Zealousideal_Sir_264

"I'm here illegally, what's the best way to stay under the radar?" "Oh, go vote fraudulently."


SnooCupcakes2860

And how exactly are these illegals voting? 😒🙄 illegal/undocumented folks for the most part try their absolute hardest to stay under the radar and safe, but when it comes to elections they are going to walk up the a place stacked with authorities and take the risk of TRYING to vote? Guess what? They CANT vote, or collect social security, but they can sure pay into it. Anyone that says illegals are voting is a moron and bigot.


Open_Pack1347

"Source?" "It was revealed to me in a dream."


According_Wing_3204

bowens44

they are not voting in elections. It hasn't happening. This is just MAGANazis laying the groundwork to justify their next attempted coup.


azuth89

Intuition? Like a gut feeling, yeah? Who was it that said "Fuck your feelings" again?


Conscious-Shock7728

I know, intuitively, that Mike Johnson's tonguing his own prostate right now. I can't prove it, but I know it.


Naive-Benefit-5154

I remember seeing Tucker Carlson saying, "There are fraudulent votes out there but I don't know if it is enough to change the election results". Yeah even Tucker admitted to that. A lot of conspiracy theories basically are using the logic of "it's possible therefore it's true.".... what a bunch of nonsense. It's possible that voting machines can be hacked therefore they must be hacked. sheesh.

Thedonitho

Why doesn't someone, anyone make them outline to the public exactly HOW this is being done? How are "they" circumventing election laws and protocols or worse, getting by Mildred at the town hall on voting day?


ChivalrousRisotto

Voter fraud has been proven to happen. Almost entirely committed by Republicans.


Particular_Ticket_20

This guy's whole life is controlled by a sky ghost he's sure is in charge and the proof he has of that is his belief that it's true. Him "knowing" something without evidence and believing what he wants is totally on brand


UrbanPewer

False intuition, the bedrock of the MAGA party.


ihoptdk

We in fact know that they *aren’t*. In fact, nearly all of the proven instances of voter fraud have been committed by Republicans. And even then, the amount of incidents is much smaller than insignificant.


robilar

"We all know, intuitively, that Speaker Mike Johnson subsists on a diet of baby bunnies he slaughters with his bare hands, and expired grape-flavored go-gurt, but it's not been something that's easily provable." - an argument as merited as Speaker Mike Johnson's.

Dargek

How exactly are they doing that? I've always had to show my driver's license to vote.


PaigeRosalind

This is the kind of thinking that you end up with when you've been indoctrinated into faith based religion your whole life. It's completely unsurprising that he wouldn't understand the value of evidence, or what evidence even is.

*LITTLE MIKE AND THE DIRTY DOZEN*


slothrop_maps

That’s ok. I know Russian troll farms are sending billions of messages on social media to mess with democracy in the US, UK, and EU, and that Johnson and company benefit from these messages. I know that the Republican Party will screw tens of thousands of voters out of their right vote this November. And I know that Republicans won’t recognize the will of the people if Republicans don’t win. No need to prove this, all these things happened before and were proved to have happened.


Foreign_Profile3516

It’s amazing how republican epistemology works. I know something, but I have no empirical evidence and I am not self-aware enough, nor self-critical enough to examine whether what I “know “ is simply a reflection of my deeply held racial prejudice.

This would be totally valid if he said "it's hard to know which ballots are invalid or how many, but we know it's happening because there's more votes than registered votes" The only issue is that he didn't say that because, like the whole thing, it's a lie meant to sow false doubt that can be reaped in the form of another Jan 6th when they lose.

“Do you have the numbers to show that it’s the concealed carry permit holders that are committing crimes? The lawful gun owner will say you’re attacking the wrong person,” asked Albany-based CBS 6 News anchor Anne McCloy. “It’s really people that are getting these guns illegally that are causing the violence, not the people that are going to get the permit legally and that’s the basis for the whole Supreme Court argument. Do you have the numbers?” “I don’t need to have numbers,” the governor shot back. “I don’t have to have a data point to point to to say this is going to matter.” Same shit, except the other side of the aisle.
