The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So the question becomes - how best to avoid right wing rioting?
Overindex on transparency and election integrity.


We have that. Every single stage of the process is open and transparent to the other party. Nothing happens in the election process except under the eye of the GOP and the Trump campaign. Their reps are in every room, their lawyers have access to every document, etc.

None of that matters if the GOP candidate goes out and tells people that the election was rigged, even though it wasn't. Or if prominent and influential third party conservatives go out and tell people that the election was rigged, even though it wasn't.

Our current overindexing on transparency and election integrity relies on the campaigns and parties honestly informing their supporters about the election process that they observe. One of the reasons why concessions are so important. If nominees and parties are out there dishonestly portraying the election as fraudulent or rigged, then there's nothing that can be done.
