    Trump’s comments come as Republicans in Congress push a bill that would enable massive voter purges, impose photo ID requirements, and ban ranked-choice voting, universal mail-in ballots, and the acceptance of mailed ballots that arrive after Election Day.

    And you just KNOW the Democraps are going to let them have it all too.

    Why wouldn’t he commit more crimes? He’s been committing crimes with impunity his entire life. Who’s going to stop him?

    Why would anyone care about this? He already pardoned the people who tried to overthrow our shitty government (because he is a liar, not because I subscribe to his bullshit).

    This is only partly ironic. Really, why would they care?

    This is the line. Let’s be honest. That’s the red line. If he actually crosses that line you should do things that the World mods will ban me for saying. But that’s it. That’s the point where any semblance of democracy is totally gone. Where even the most neoliberal Democrat has to know that voting no longer means anything. That’s the point where you have to make a choice. That would be the final Point wherein there is a line of the sand you either put on the red hat and fall in line or you play back. Some would argue we’ve already reached that point mind you, but I think that would be the last reasonable line.

      There’s been many red lines this past year. And this one isn’t even a surprise move, it’s been claimed loudly semi-continuously for five years now. Yet here we are.

      No, this is the goalpost moving.

      Anyone who didn’t see this coming was either living under a rock or mockingly dismissing everyone telling them it’s coming as Russian bots trying to take votes away from Democrats.

    REPUBLICANS should get Sole Control over who Wins Elections? They MUST Need some FUNDING for that! Let’s GIVE it to Them!

    -Chuck Schumer (D) and Hakeem Jeffries (D)!

      Don’t forget to ask for more funding for Democrats so they can continue their fight, this time for reals, honest.

    There is no way MAGA will accept a Democrat victory in the Midterms, especially if it flips either chamber.

    There is no way Trump leaves in 2028.

    We ALL already know this in our hearts and our brains. We have to talk about it, and internalize it, and start making contingency plans for those nearly CERTAIN situations.

      I mean, I know what you’re trying to say, but you’re actually accidently correct for reasons you don’t mean to be. The election would be 2028. The official transfer of power would be Jan 2029.

      So, even with what you’re trying to say, trump wouldn’t have left in 2028 anyways.

      I mean, barring getting kidnapped and forced out of power because he’s not physically present.

    He’s been saying this kind of thing all along, either canceling or rigging the elections. Why is it only a fire now?

      It was a fire the first time and every time since. It’ll be a fire next time too. Likely we’ll continue the trend of doing nothing about it while we slide deeper into Nazism, cuz that’s how murica do.

    Republican states being robbed of their elections?

    I’m sure that those election fanatics will do anything to stop that’s right?

      Reading the actual quote, he wants to take over the elections but only in 15 states. He’s blatantly saying he wants to take over states that Democrats might be able to win, leaving the red states alone.

      It’s not that people don’t care, ever. Tens of millions of people care.

      Unfortunately, their combined “donations” can’t keep up with corpo/billionairie “donations”, because most of us don’t have generations of wealth acquisition to “donate”

      Sadly, corporations are people and money is free speech, so what can you do? Supreme Court was “court of last resort”, it’s over.

      Clarence got a new motor home though, so that’s nice. Every cloud has a silver lining

          Sadly, the means for organizing is ALSO the surveillance state.

          Organizers are infiltrated almost immediately. Turncoats who are mad over the latest “issue” differences insure that any remaining cells are always attended by “observers”.

          Patriot Act made this all “legal” decades ago.

          Good luck, they will get to you, too. When you try to “donate” to the USA you’ll find out those Hellfire missiles you purchased don’t work when fired at their makers (and so on).

          (“you” being a pronoun meaning those who oppose the USA that would use copper, lead, and other means to “donate”)

          The world’s number one arms dealer, banker, and super surveillance state is not limited to the USA by any means

    We’re going to watch this happen and no one will do anything. At this point the only thing that will stop the billionaires is a war.

      A general strike would suffice. Then demands for resumption. Some of those demands should be massive wealth transfer that leaves no billionaires.
