The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.

Our chief weapon is surprise… surprise and fear… fear and surprise… Our two weapons are fear and surprise… and ruthless efficiency… Our three weapons are fear, and surprise, and ruthless efficiency… and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope… Our four… no… Amongst our weapons… Amongst our weaponry… are such elements as fear, surprise… I’ll come in again.

The archive.ph site isn’t load for me right now, but found this quote from https://www.npr.org/2023/07/25/1189939229/covid-deaths-democrats-republicans-gap-study

The pandemic inflicted higher rates of excess deaths on both Republicans and Democrats. But after COVID-19 vaccines arrived, Republican voters in Florida and Ohio died at a higher rate than their counterparts, according to a new study.

Researchers from Yale University who studied the pandemic’s effects on those two states say that from the pandemic’s start in March 2020 through December 2021, “excess mortality was significantly higher for Republican voters than Democratic voters after COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults, but not before.”

More specifically, the researchers say, their adjusted analysis found that “the excess death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters” after vaccine eligibility was opened.

The hope is that if convicted, he’s be ineligible to hold office as president. That is not a guarantee as there is no precedent one way or another. More lawsuits, more supreme court intervention, more unknowns.

Which will only happen if Trump is not elected. If he IS elected, he’ll pardon himself (along with anyone he’s ever met) and trigger a huge constitutional crisis over pardoning oneself (meaning presidents can break ANY law they want).
