For many consumer electronics the general design used, (because it’s cheap and easy to assemble) is a PCB in a plastic clamshell sort of thing which unfortunately places the PCB right where the seam in the plastic is. Usually there’s some additional geometry to prevent direct exposure. But high voltage finds a way and if there’s tabs with cutouts or anything like that there often is a direct path, especially for something as thin and ‘sharp’ as cat fur.

That being said, it’s more likely to be either the buttons, power connector, or something the designers foolishly thought of as “ground” and there not actually being an earth ground

It’s like saying your rights are being trampled on if Walmart bans you from their store. You still have access to food.

With the existence of food desserts and Walmart’s decades long crusade of monopolization this is less true than you think.

Sure, you can still go buy food, but in many parts of rural US it’s now an hour+ trip each way to the gas station and costs 3x as much as you can afford. Meaning in reality you don’t.

where did you get 1.98?

That’s the exact opposite of the Democrat’s political ideology.

Where do you get that idea?

They did though, through the creation and expansion of the secure communities program.. It was attempted to be walked back via the PEP after Obama earned the “deporter in chief” moniker, but yes the DNC did, has and will continue to do so.

Their style is usually more “don’t make a scene” then “suns out, guns out” but the end result is ultimately the same.

How did you quantity that 10x times?

My best naïve estimate puts Democrats at 1.44-1.98x as corrupt.

the Democrats had military storming our streets and black bagging US residents en masse

The Posse Comitatus Act is what generally prevents military from “black bagging US residents” and leaves that job to police.

Texas was the first state to allow for the national guard to assist in immigration efforts back in 2021. Democrats did nothing to stop, delay or prevent the expansion of those powers which were further pushed and nationalized in 2025.

The other loophole is invoking the insurrection act. While Biden did not involve it it was repeatedly threatened during the Gaza war protests, however the protests never got too riotous for the Dems to risk damaging their image and the local police were perfectly capable of documenting and black bagging people for it.

The cases of Kahlil and Mahdawi where Trump attended to deport individuals participating in those protests was made possible by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. That specific bill was introduced by the Democrats, passed the Democratic majority House and Senate, Vetoed by Democratic president Truman before being overridden by the house/Senate.

You are correct that they are “not the same”, but stating that the shield of your enemy is your friend, just because it isn’t a sword is fucking insane.
