In other totally-not-a-slide-into-fascism news, peaceful protestors who had a permit to march were teargassed on the way to vote.

Peaceful march to the polls in North Carolina is met with police pepper spray and arrests, causing outcry on eve of election

They have elections in all those shithole dictatorial countries too. They just make sure the wrong people don't vote.

The participants in Saturday’s “I Am Change” march had intended to conclude at an early-voting site to emphasize turnout in the final days of the presidential campaign. Those plans were thrown into disarray when law-enforcement officers in riot gear and gas masks insisted demonstrators move off the street and clear county property, despite a permit authorizing their presence.

    You would be *amazed* what I've run across in the course of jobs that ostensibly involve "shuttling medicine from A to B after putting it in vial C."

    It's more your choice of words that I wonder about. This isn't a tropical nation even if the Deep South feels like it sometime. So what sort of "jungle rot" are we speaking of here, and how would one logically expect to be exposed to it...?
