Trump saying he has the Election Fixed is PROOF that DEMOCRATS engaged in Election Fraud!
Makes about as much sense as anything they say.
How does he know that everything deranged people want is the same as what Christians in the U.S. want? Christians and deranged republicans don’t form a circle Venn diagram
The absolutely do.
Those other Christians aren't true Christians.
Evangelicals do.
Maybe he plans to have all the christian’s thrown into internment camps so they would not get to vote anymore.
Uh??
I really want to give him the entirely unwarranted benefit of the doubt that he's saying it won't matter in 4 years bc he won't be running (making the assumption he'll win this time and reach his term limit) but having watched the video I dunno, that "we'll have it fixed by then" sounds reeeeaaally ominous.
It looks like the real benefit of the doubt is that he's hopefully talking about laws on voter ID being fixed. Still, what the hell is a presidential candidate doing telling people they don't need to vote anymore? Even with the benefit of the doubt, this shit is ominous.
Edit: to be clear, I don't give him the benefit of the doubt. All I'm saying is if somebody wants to, this is the best they're able to do. It's also important to be aware of the context of the quote, even if you believe he means it in the worst way.
He literally tried to fix the last election by seeking out individuals to form slates of imaginary electors in states he didn't win, telling his VP to discard enough votes to make him the victor, launching frivolous lawsuits seeking to have legit votes thrown out, seeking to influence local election officials in urban districts to fail to certify their districts votes and ultimately when none of that worked by sending a mob to stop the counting of the vote.
If I shot you in the head and as you were recovering in the hospital went on tv and said went on tv and said I'd take you down next time nobody would give me the benefit of the doubt and propose I meant on the basketball court. It's completely and totally crazy to propose he meant anything but what he clearly said.
When did giving trump the benefit of the doubt ever work?
It wasn't even a dog whistle, it was a fog horn. There's not much room for interpretion.
Mr dictator on day one obviously wants to stay a dictator.
Title from every media company out there should say "trump wants to end democracy and become it's dictator"
I love American liberals.
"Hmn, I think these folks driving tanks into our town hall and lining people up against the wall... they might be up to no good, we should spread awareness!"
This is the biggest thing that pisses me off about the left, they want to remove our ability to protect ourselves and not be turned into ground human. I've said it a bunch, if the dems wanted to make the Republican party vanish over night, all they would have to do is drop gun control agenda. The republicans would fade into history in under a decade, and a new party would have to take its place.
The problem with both parties is they make effort to pander to the least intelligent and most childlike of their constituents. It's just the the left's dumb looks different than the right's dumb.
“Yeah, but Harris is a woman and also…yah know…” - Libertarians and swing voters.
Libertarians = fedora kids and survivalists and flat earthers who don't feel connected to Trump.
That defines the female libertarian candidate. Jorgensen.
Libertarians had a woman candidate last election.
Libertarians also tried to make a "utopian" town that embodied all of their ideals where nobody was coerced to pay for services or assistance, and long story short the town was overrun by trash and bears and libertarians trying to kill each other. Just google Grafton, New Hampshire, it was a whole fantastic story.
How is this legal?
Because the Supreme Court just said it is.
Not doing anything atm, just talking
Once elected he can make it legal
