When people questioned the outcome of the 2020 election, they were automatically labeled conspiracy theorists, and we were told that there was no way anyone could steal an election. Never mind that they’d spent four years trying to claim Trump won in a stolen election; it was different then.

Never you mind that every election fraud case you hear about is either a confirmed Democrat or someone whose affiliation is never mentioned — thus, in a way, a confirmation that it’s a Democrat. No, it simply can’t be done.

And don’t you worry about IDs for elections, either, because these elections are so secure that the illegals we’re actively fighting for will never just walk in and claim to be citizens and demand the right to vote that day.

But now, though, according to the fourth-worst actor to play The Hulk, you’d better be ready.

That’s right. The left needs to be on guard for ELON MUSK AND THE HACKERS OF DOOM!

It’s funny, because I’ve always had concerns about electronic voting. I get that its auditable, but that just makes sure the vote counts reconcile. It doesn’t make sure the right numbers get recorded.

But I’ve had these concerns since the Obama administration.

Ruffalo, though? He didn’t say anything until Democrats started rolling harder left, and now there’s a real chance of them getting trounced in the midterms, at least in key races, because they’ve become so damned extreme.

They’re not pushing for trans people in bathrooms anymore. Now they’re openly and unapologetically embracing socialism. It’s insane.

What pisses me off the most about this is the hypocrisy. There was no way for an election to be stolen despite us actually telling everyone just how to steal an election. It wasn’t anything new to me, because I’d covered and uncovered election fraud before. It was the same playbook, and it didn’t require anyone at the DNC to pull the strings.

It was what a friend of mine calls a headless conspiracy, where people just do the thing because they want the outcome, even if no one is calling the shots, basically.

Now, though, Ruffalo is claiming that tech billionaire Elon Musk will totally steal the election, but the legions of Silicon Valley bros who also work extensively in the tech sector and have the skills and resources to do it, too, would never do such a thing.

It’s insane.

Personally, I still think there needs to be paper ballots, and they should be hand-counted. I think absentee ballots should be for those who are going to be physically out of town or those who physically cannot enter a polling place for some medical reason. Not just because they’d rather avoid it, but because they physically cannot do it.

But Ruffalo never did. He joined the chorus of those who claimed our elections could not be stolen, until now he’s claiming they will be.

As an actor, Ruffalo doesn’t suck as much as it could be implied by my comment about his portrayal of the Hulk. I said he’s the fourth-worst actor because actors are people, and the only reason I can’t say he’s as crap as they get in Hollywood is only because of the…caliber of person in Hollywood. Even with Edward Norton’s known dickishness, I’d still prefer to have a beer with him over Ruffalo.
