N.S.: Full disclosure: "Ricky Vaughan" and I were twit buds, until the gauleiter permablocked me. Ricky was one of the Internet's brightest stars, and a man who gave a lot of people hope and laughter. Fight on, Ricky, and keep faith!
Trump-supporting influencer Douglass Mackey, aka, 'Ricky Vaughan' is jailed for seven months for 2016 election interference after tweeting fake posters toward Hillary Clinton supporters
"Douglass Mackey, 33 - known on the internet as 'Ricky Vaughan' - was convicted in march
"he was flagged for his tweets encouraging Hillary Clinton supporters to cast meaningless votes by text message
"the judge said he was sentenced for an 'insidious' attempt to stop people from truly voting and was guilty of 'nothing short of an assault on our democracy'
"upon sentencing, brooklyn federal court judge Ann Donnelly [lied!] emphasized Mackey was not going to jail for his conservative views.
"'you are not [liar!] being sentenced for your political beliefs or for expressing those beliefs,' she said. 'each one of us has the right to hold opinions and express those opinions.'...
"Donnelly said he was being sentenced for an 'insidious' attempt to stop people from truly voting and was guilty of 'nothing short of an assault on our democracy.'"
Tell, tell! She said those magic words, "nothing short of an assault on our democracy"! That tells you right there, that the entire persecution of Douglass Mackey was political.
I think that Ricky Vaughan's prank was hilarious, and completely protected by the first amendment.

There are two versions of democracy:The commie version of it and actual democracy--with rights to free speech and carry arms(and defend yourself from mostly minorities).Without those two aspects and with the threat/imposition of jail terms hanging overhead,this is "commie democracy"--and nothing more.

If someone is so stupid as to fall for the prank they probably shouldn't even be allowed to vote in the first place.
