No, I agree with him. His supporters should not vote anytime in the future. Just stay home.
I assumed at first it was a satyrical journal like the Onion and read it in that optic. Then I saw the comments and thought a few people had missed the joke and were taking it seriously. Then started doubting, checked what type of paper it was and if other known ones (like nytime) also talked about it...
This is real, fellas. He really did say that.
And people still calling P2025 a big joke.
It reminds me of the movie Mars Attacks when the aliens kept saying “we come in peace!”, and laughing as they were blasting everyone.
Gotta steal the news headlines somehow I guess.
We know Trump, you want to illegalize elections and have life time appointments for President.
They should start "not voting" this election cycle.
We need to play this clip of Trump on repeat as much as possible, for two reasons:
- People need to be fully aware that he intends to destroy the pillars of our society.
- MAGA idiots might think they can already stop voting.
This is something if a Democrat had said both sides would have their head on a pike. Teflon dons existence is a testimony to how awful people are.
Hell if a Republican who wasn't him had said it, he'd be fucking crucified.
Maga family is saying it means something else, according to pundit.
Trump ONLY says what he Means! And what he Means is ALWAYS a Riddle to Pwn the Libtards! He's a JEENYUS!
What are they saying it means
They're saying that allegedly, Christians are not big on voting, and this statement is meant to encourage those non voters to come vote just this once and everything will get better. Then you can go back to being a non voter.
I think.
Horrible wording no matter how you slice it, though.
Is he baiting by saying that by next election america will be in such good shape that both choices will be good? Or is he seriously dogwhistling for the pro-dictator crowd?
It isn't dogwhistling. He's just coming right out and saying it.
I mean I think it's important to analyze his plausible deniability tactics. He didn't literally say, "I will cancel the 2028 elections", he made a vague threat that "you won't have to vote".
We need to shut these arguments down because Fox will definitely use them to defend Trump and normalize authoritarian policies.
When a politician says they are going to be a dictator, believe them.
Only a few steps away from "you don't get to vote".
It'll be like elections in Russia. Somehow, Putin always wins with 80-90% of the vote.
Vance said he wants only people with kids to be able to vote. And they will be able to vote on behalf of their children until they can vote for themselves. These people are something else.
These people are something else.
Fascists.
