   Election and democracy fatigue have become widespread and almost the norm in dissident circles. But recent elections in Georgia and Austria show that elections still matter, even for dissident (far right) voices.
   
   In Austria, the FPÖ campaigned with remigration (another word for mass deportation of foreigners) and won the general election last month. This prompted the president of Austria to bypass the winning FPÖ and give the second placed ÖVP the right to form a government, against all decency and tradition. While this may seem to refute elections all together, it has already created a Streisand effect with recent polls showing even higher support for the FPÖ.
   
   In Georgia, the populist party Georgian Dream achieved yesterday (today?) an absolute majority win with over 53% of the votes. The party addressed the people of Georgia with a speech denouncing Ukraine, denouncing self-crippling sanctions against Russia, and the anti-democratic LGBT propaganda peddled by black NGOs in secrecy against the will of the people. This prompted the US-aligned opposition to make the odd counterclaim that they won, already preparing protests in the spirit of color revolutions. The new Georgian president meanwhile called for nuclear cooperation between Georgia, Belarus, and Russia.
   
   If the tragedy of the Ukrainian Maidan in 2014 taught us one thing, it's that election results matter, but if the US Deep State doesn't like them, then color revolution it is. Remember Nuland handing out cookies in Kiev? The wrong party came to power. Yanukovych in 2013, while pro-EU and US, insisted on Ukrainian neutrality towards all sides, resisting to choose sides. This triggered the call for the USDS--represented by McCain, Nuland, the Soros foundation, and Biden--to correct that result, in the form of the Euromaidan coup.

     @irie it's important anywhere else but the US. Since the US voting system sucks ass.

     @MK2boogaloo I think they even matter in the US. The effect is just more diminished as the US has only two competitive parties that must accommodate the entire political spectrum found in quite disparate regions of the country. Before Trump, it virtually, and often literally, didn't matter who won. After Trump, we saw a rupture in the Uniparty Deep State bloc. While Trump may not guarantee a genuine deviation, he opened the door, punctured the tank, leading to a leakage of authority and control. Musk (no matter what we think of him) at the same continues to undermine legacy media influence in the mainstream. This combination may lead to genuine political change in the short or long term. A change that, again, may not satisfy more dissident voices, due to the two-sizes-fit-all approach of the democratic process in the US.
