  • VICE News reports from Florida on voter fraud arrests and how the governor uses the state to advance his power. Plus, how to hold social media sites like Facebook accountable for their role in fostering the rise of extremism, election denialism & the far-right; and, nearly two years after the insurrection and after two presidential campaigns, why political journalists still can't get it right.

      What Trump is afraid of is that many illegal immigrants who come from all over the world can vote freely without having any ID and not being the citizen of America, the democrats don't care if they let in millions of illegal immigrants cos they think they're gonna vote for em and that's why they don't even care if democracy is being crush as long as they're in power , I'm waiting for vice to do a segment on Joe Biden 😜 that'll be fun 😊

Alcohol consumption isn't an enumerated right, despite what certain parts will have you believe. Socioeconomic factors are also at play, not everyone is a Becky with a stay at home mom where it was just de facto and expected to get a license and car as a gift, with someone to pay for the expenses, tests and lessons. An ID is not a license, but in a car centric, urban sprawl, single family home centered society, that's often the move.

      People in different positions of power didn't listen to trumps orders to go against the system & toppke democracy when Biden won, so lets change all those people to trump wannabe's who are corrupt. So if he looses in 2024, they wount need to use violence, bcs of their corrupt friends who has the power then & the changes in the voting system will make it possible to declare a president trump! So it dosent matter as mutch if the plan to stop democrats from voting dosent succeed & how many votes he gets, or what the electoral collague says, they can now just change the result bcs of the corrupt sheep put in power on local & state levels

Missouri was "Ground Zero" for "Caging" people who were registered but removed to stop democrats from voting.
