There was a real human toll to Giuliani’s and Trump’s baseless attacks upon election workers. Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss are back in the news because of a big concession by Giuliani. I explore that and what bought them to the federal courthouse. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/ruby-freeman-and-shaye-moss-score?sd=pf
Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss Score Some Justice

They were two innocent election workers, dutifully counting ballots in Atlanta for the 2020 presidential election. But the Trump campaign, and in particular Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani, turned them into targets. Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss endured years of false and baseless accusations from the Trump campaign, including that they had brought a suitcase filled with fake ballots to the counting center. Giuliani even used a racist dog whistle to publicly compare them to drug users. From there, the MAGA mob was unleashed. It attacked Freeman and Moss with such a torrent of threats of violence that they had to flee their homes.

The Status Kuo
@jaykuo Republicans LIED? That's OUTRAGEOUS! Why would Republicans LIE TO ME JUST SO THEY CAN KEEP POWER AND TAKE MY DONATION MONEY?
@jaykuo They should sue Giuliani into oblivion.

@jaykuo I can't understand how singling out a couple of poll workers and subjecting them to long-term harassment is a beneficial move for GOP boosters, tactically speaking. The poll workers would have been obscure and relatively powerless if the MAGA jerks had just left them alone.

One of the many problems that fans of authoritarianism overlook is that authoritarians tend to be really bad at... everything. Everything like governance and administration and leadership. Their decision making is emotional, their whole raison d'etre is emotional. Their urge to dominate others, for the sake of domination, is the only interest they really serve.
