(1) It's election day in New Zealand. I'd love to tell you all about my political views on NZ but I'm legally not allowed to during the next 8 hours, before polls close at 7pm.
I think I'm free to say I think this law is super dumb, though. #nzpol

(2) I'm free to say to my wonderful American friends that your system of government is far better than New Zealand's... your government doesn't constrain your God-given free speech rights on election day.
Over half of eligible NZ voters voted early, too.
It's a dumb law.

(3) After 7pm I'll add to this thread with my views on the NZ election and what might happen next.
Election results here are often not clear for hours, and sometimes the overseas mail-in votes make enough of a difference that we have to wait 10 days for the official result.

(4) Initial NZ election results look good for the thinly-veiled Communist parties, good for the libertarian-ish ACT party & not great for the main oppo party, National.
Nats rubber stamped the insane "gun buyback" law in 2019 & bled voters to ACT, the only party to oppose it.

(5) The Communist party PM, Jacinda Ardern, used her office to blatantly campaign on a daily basis. I worked in govt for years and no one ever did that to this extent. People still had some values, some ethics. Rules & laws were respected.
I look forward to Election 2023.

(6) Communists will infiltrate your institutions and gradually take over your country by stealth, if you let them.
The RKBA is crucial but, outside the US it is rare to have that right. It's too late.
America is the last stand for freedom. You're our Shining City on a Hill.

(7) We the opponents of the NZ Communist parties (Labour + Greens) did our best to limit the damage this time.
We're not giving up. Did the Allies give up in WWI and WWII when things looked grim? Of course not.
Never surrender.
