I am the founding member of the "Fuck Off and Die" Party.

Our platform is very simple - if you ask any of us about our affiliation, you will be told to "Fuck Off and Die". If you wish to attend services or inquire about membership, there is a Go Fund Me set up where you can buy entry for the low, low, low price of $12,000,000 payable in installments of $1M a month for 12 months.

Now kindly take you unenforceable "law" and shove it straight up your ass.

This hasn't got a chance of not being overturned, even by our right wing Supreme Court.

He’s a polished Trump with a mean streak in him. He’s also a troll. He likes to “own the libs”. Those are qualities that appeal to the MAGAts.

Democrats and Independents across America must unite to destroy him. If we do that it deals a major blow to the GOP. We must buy a little more time for demographic changes to kick in and impact the electorate.

They are counting on him to revive the Trump Era. We can’t let him win. He must be politically destroyed!

The survey will be mandatory for all staff and faculty, and it will not be anonymous, but rather a link will be sent to .edu email. Faculty can complain to their union, but staff have no union. Staff who do not comply will be terminated. Faculty may be.

As per a friend's Chair today at a state university in central Florida.

on edit: my friend has already changed their voter registration from D to I, and said they aren't the only one.

They can't make people answer.
What would consequences be?
Firing a tenured professor? Good luck with that.
Refusing to admit students whose tuition is already paid? Good luck with that.
This is symbolic nonsense and they KNOW it won't pass constitutional muster.
But, they did it anyway to stir up the culture war foolishness.

Regardless, it is stupid, but look at the source.

Send the forms to Montana too!
