Clearly they will "secure the vote". Massive voter disenfranchisement is already taking place, it will go to the next level.
The one thing I hope Americans think about is to believe in democracy, and discuss with others on the other side of the aisle. Really, most have voted the way they did for real, valid reasons. And recognizing them is the path to heal your country. Only through understanding will democracy prevail.
Do not spiral into dividing your own country. That is the real goal of authoritarian regimes.
You can believe in democracy all you want, but disenfranchisement really has a way of undermining it.
Elon proved this with the Wisconsin Supreme Court vote.
He will likely dangle hundreds of millions in front of voters across the US to buy their vote without any repercussions.
And then make that money back through the insider dealings that prioritise SpaceX et al.
GOP outspent Dems in WI and lost. Dems outspent GOP in FL and lost.
Which is a sample size of 2. We have 468 seats which are up for election.
Musk's brazen [1] use of money will have an impact. Question is how much.
