    I don’t mean to make this about the US, but it’s nice to know that the world is full of idiots voting against their best interests.

    [president Marcos] is the second child and only son of 10th president, kleptocrat and dictator Ferdinand Marcos and former first lady Imelda Marcos

    That’s pretty divisive/dysfunctional. Marcos is definitely in CIA corruption pocket. There is a key conditionality in her threat that she is accusing Marcos/allies of being behind threats against her, and the threat is a “dead man switch”
