"There is no conspiracy
No cosmic mystery
No "Both sides"

Every problem on earth makes sense if you remember these 3 facts:

1. We built a society where everything is run by money

2. Those with the most money can never have enough money

3. They are totally fine with anything and everything bad that might occur as a result of pursuing more money, up to and including mass death

That's it. That's the secret."

Elections & other local govt duties in Rock River, a town of ~1k people, have been transformed by #RightWing *activists* who have aggressively harassed the town’s leaders, acc/to Trevor Case, a fmr member of the town’s board of trustees whose wife, Maria Strand, preceded Schierkolk in the job. The activists frequently brought false #ConspiracyTheories about #election machines before Strand.

In April, Case, Strand & another employee, all #Democrats, resigned.

“We had had enough,” Case said.

Schierkolk is tied to a network of *#activists* [#criminals] who have pushed several baseless #ConspiracyTheories about corruption in elections &, at times, advocated the hand-counting of ballots, apparently believing that electronic voting machines are insecure. #Trump & his allies spread the idea widely after his defeat in 2020, claiming, falsely, that the machines had changed the votes to #Biden.
