“How to unsink the Titanic”

We’re watching a political thriller irl in real time. Grab your popcorns, because you wont be getting anymore popcorn when the tariffs hit.

I dont think those protest voters were significant, people just think “food didnt get cheaper” and didnt felt like voting anymore. Thats your average voter mindset.

Lol people see this be like “AAAAHHHH FUCK I TOOK ENOUGH TESTS IN SCHOOL I DONT WANNA SEE THIS AGAIN” and yeet it into a fire.

I think the less confusing alternative is a top two non partisan primary and a 1v1 general election.

Most of my fellow Americans are too stupid use understand how to fill out a ranked choice ballot.

He’s gonna try, I doubt he can convince the military to do anything to high ranking democratic officials.

Maybe if a “lower ranking” democratic congressperson like AOC do a BLM protest in Washington D.C, she might get harassed by the capitol police, but they’ll be fine. I doubt she’ll get shot.

The average civillian, however, if you still have any yard signs indicating that you support any democratic candidates, you might wanna take those down, because you might randonly get investigated for whatever trumped-up (pun intended) charges they invent. Or get a no-knock raid and ends with buller holes in your skull.

If you look “Mexican” to them, you could get deported if you don’t have your papers with you, even if you are legal, or even a citizen. (Might wanna look into getting a fireproof safe to store those documents, also keep photo backups of any documents that prove that you are here legally)

Americans are gonna swing back and forth between the major parties until elections eventually stop happening. Mark my words.

There are different versions.

One is where they sell the cellebrite device to law enforcement.

Another where the cellebrite device remain in control of cellebrite, and law enforcement has to send the phone to cellebrite.

Unless you actually work for cellebrite and got access to their more advanced tools, which then I doubt they would let you share the details of since that must be breaking some non-disclosure agreement.

That’s what they say. I mean the news literally base this off the FBI’s own words, so there’s no way for us to tell if they actually manage to break the encryption but then turns around that say “the encryption is too strong”. Besides, iOS is closed source.

Intelligence agencies have made this “Anom Phone” that is this supposed encrypted phone that drug dealers and various criminals used to communicate, turned out to be a honeypot.

Careful with that, if she wins because of “hotness”, SCOTUS might rule that as prostitution and therefore make her ineligible.

Bruh, she is not gonna win.

I don’t mean to be a bigot when I say this, but I doubt America is willing to elect black/brown/hispanic women yet. White rage is still going strong. This country is gonna need someone who is a chistian straight white man on the top of the democraric ticket. A younger Bernie. I feel disgusted to say this but it’s what has to be done to save democracy in the US.

You know, as an Asian American, I would like to see someone like Andrew Yang to become president, you know what I mean. He’s decent guy. But like thats so unrealistic in this country. Sometimes you just gotta accept this harsh reality.

Unless you find someone like Obama. Well even then, honestly I doubt someone like Obama could even win in today’s political climate.

I dont think they miscount the vote or something.

There are no reports of election observers seeing irregularities.

Republicans did do some anti-democracy but technically legal moves like voter roll purges, but I think that even if they didn’t do that, trump would’ve still won.

For some reason, millions of democrats stayed home. Unless you wanna claim some crazy conspiracy where they got mind controlled or something, its just voter apathy. Possibly because of Gaza.

For the “Wasted” app:

1. Check the box saying “Wipe Data” (you can optionally check wipe eSim if yiu also want that to happen)

2. Tap the bottom button saying [Off] which would ask you to give permission to the app as a Device Administrator, giving it the power to wipe your device.

3. Tap the gear button on top right

4. Scroll down to the “Lock” and check that

5. Tap the upper left button with the 3 horizontal lines

6. Tap the “Lock” menu option

7. Enter a value. I personally would use something like 24 or 48 hours. Note that 24H automatically becomes 1D in the app, idk why but thats just some weird quirks with the app.

For the Duress app, it doesn’t really work anymore on the phone I’m using, so you might have to do your own testing.

Edit: Make sure you dont get drunk and passed out for 24 hours because then your phone gets wiped lol. Good luck, I didn’t make the app so be careful with it, don’t blame me if your accidentally get your device wiped when you didnt want it to.

Edit 2: Also you cant really know if these apps works on your particular phone unless you test it yourself, that means wiping it. So you might wanna back up your phone then trigger the wipe to see if it works. Dont wanna get caught at a protest only to find out the app failed.

Devs are allegedly Marxist-Leninists.

Redditors dont understand that devs dont exactly have full control of open source software, that different instances are not operated by the devs.

Edit: Lemmy devs to be specific

Bruh, I hate this timeline.

I feel like I accidentally triggered some portal and walked into a TV show / movie.

Nothing feels real anymore.

Well they might charge you with “Obstruction of Justice” instead. Then plug it in some cellebrite device and boom, unlocked.

Best way to not have to deal with stuff like this is just to not have the incriminating evidence in the first place. If you are, for example, doing a protest, only chat with contacts in a safe place, then wipe chat logs every time, any data you wish to keep should be encrypted then uploaded anonymously via VPN/Tor and wiped from local storage. Hide the fact that such data exists so you wouldn’t have a scenario where the government is trying to get you to give them the data, since they dont even know what data exists. Plausable deniability.

Edit: Those apps I’ve linked is still a good idea since “Destruction of Evidence” is probably a lesser charge than something like “Rioting”.

Oh they’ll do an impeachment, they’ll impeach Obama Biden Harris 3 times just to “own the libs” then do a senate shenaigan where they call up republican senators while blocking democratic sentors from entering then they vote unanimous 51/51 and block them from eligibility of future federal office, even tho they probably wont run again.

Android has an app that you can install that auto wipes a phone after X amount of time if the phone hasnt been unlocked:

Also theres an app that allows you to set a fake password that wipes the phone:

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/me.lucky.duress/

All open source, I have tested these apps on my phones, they work great. The second app about the duress password is a bit glitchy and didnt work on some of my phones.

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and setting your phone to automatically wipe itself may be considered destruction of evidence in a court of law.

For me:

Step 1: Go back to birth country of PRC.

Step 2: Be labeled a traitor and western spy

Step 3: Lake Laogai

(Just kidding, China revoked my citizenship because I obtained US citizenship, so I’d be illegally entering China if I tried)

But seriously tho, I have nowhere to run to. Nowhere that isn’t literally worse than the US. No place thats better than the US would accept US refugees because we are still technically a democracy, and the border agents at whatever country you apply for asylum would tell you to go back to the US and move to a Blue state. “Moving out of the country” is what people commonly say but its not a realistic solution.
