I don't have much first-hand knowledge of our prison system but was under the impression receiving medical attention was difficult. Hard to imagine you have any kind of choice where it is concerned, either. Want minimally invasive surgery? Too bad open surgery is cheaper. Want a crown on that tooth? Too bad, it's getting pulled. Dental implant? Whoa everyone, get a load of this guy. And so on.
Replying to my own comment to say that the media just reasserted its role as Kingmaker, in front of everyone, and in defiance of the electorate. Forgive me if I don't believe that Trump-flavored Fox News is going to do anything but demonstrate their media dominance. OANN's existence did not change the media landscape by one inch. Right Side Broadcasting has done more than them and they are little more than professional groupies. Every effort they made to silence Trump and his supporters is paying dividends, and will only serve as the rubric for future, stricter, and more complete control.
You have to step outside of this paradigm entirely if you want to have any hope.
Reposting because my comment was hidden:
They gave you $600 while devaluing anything you might have in the bank by at least $600. The more you had the more you lost. The only people who benefited were the people who live by the skin of their teeth. And that's how they want to keep you, completely dependent on the next state handout, and we just got one enormous step closer to that reality.
FUCK!!!!

A recount is all but guaranteed in Arizona as it stands. Not only do I not think it will not help them, if they manually count the felt-tip ballots at that stage I strongly suspect Trump will gain a few hundred to a couple thousand net votes.
He needs to say this word for word in a video, you know the kind that have been getting 20M views apiece lately. I know he had one where he said to not let it rule your life, and that's good, but repeating this "banned" tweet would be the best response.
Here is the best version IMO
None of these gestures filtered down into the minds of black voters because of media monopolies protecting and preserving their precious voting blocks. I don't know that it would have even made a difference, black people view voting as an opportunity to "stick it to Whitey". If the Democratic Party had the perception of being predominantly white, they would vote against them.
