His faith in his future is about to be dashed to smithereens
Our ours will be
If it is, then we fight. Same as last time around.
Lucian Truscott thinks it is all about not having elections any longer once he gets in. I’m not so sure. I think it means more that he will get the “Christian” agenda put in place so his MAGA crowd no longer has to fight to get their ideas ensconced into law. But his entire approach has been that he will contest the election if he doesn’t win. And he certainly didn’t want to abide by the voters actions last election. He wants to rule for life. And then he wants his sons to take over.
A Christian agenda, not the Christian agenda. The thing that most people don’t get is that in the USA alone there are at least 200 different sects of Christianity and they have some very different ideas and they feel very strongly about those difference. Any voter who thinks Trump is going to enshrine their particular flavor of Christianity as law is a fool twice over. Even if he did manage to enshrine any particular sects rules into law, the chances of it being that particular voter’s flavor of Christianity is incredibly small.
I have said a version of this to a lot of rural people who vote R and do nothing. They all beg for a time when their town had a major “downtown” with ice cream shops playing 1950’s music.
What they don’t realize is once P2025 goes into action these people will have no more use for them and they will be left to die. No more welfare, no more Medicare. Most of rural America will wither away because they don’t do anything. Farms are corpo owned and operated.
Rural America will be turned into a wasteland by republicans.
His dumb fuckin kids couldn’t take over an unfinished donut.
he will contest the election if he doesn’t win
Republicans say it will be “bloodless” if they get their way. Take that as a warning.
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.
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.
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.
Trump is the most dangerous figure in American politics. He’s a demagogue, and a fascist insurrectionist. It’s certainly arguable that he’s saying ‘we’ll rig future elections so Christians always get their way’ because we know that’s what he has already tried to do and what he will undoubtedly do again if given the chance.
But it’s equally arguable that he’s saying ‘we’ll have the country fixed over four years, so Christians won’t need to even bother voting again.’ I’ve watched the video a few times and I think if you listen to his stilted speech it’s clear he’s doing his con artist/salesman schtick and saying ‘believe me I’ll fix your country so good you won’t need another President.’ Not to say that this doesn’t also betray his anti-Democratic views, but I don’t think this quote is the gotcha that everyone seems to think it is
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
Those other Christians aren’t true Christians.
Yep, that’s the point I was making.
Evangelicals do.
The absolutely do.
Trump saying he has the Election Fixed is PROOF that DEMOCRATS engaged in Election Fraud!
I am willing to accept that he mostly means “we’ll fix the country so it won’t be a close call ever again”. I also am willing to accept he subconsciously means “I just need to pardon myself and I can’t run again anyway, so I don’t give a crap what you do afterwards”.
Thing is, both of those are disqualifying, too, so… no real good options here.
If he didn’t try a coup after he lost the last election, you might be able to give him the benefit of the doubt.
We’ll fix the country such that votes wont matter
Welcome to whose county is it anyway, where everything is made up and The votes don’t matter.
Which is totally doable, just look at some of the hopelessly gerrymandered states. Wisconsin comes to mind. A judge was elected, to maybe fix it, but it still proves a point. I’m sure there are other states.
Not a guess. The bipartisan part is the dem governor. Legislature is locked hard as Republican with a gerrymander.
He’s already tried claiming that his first term didn’t count because of the impeachments and he should be allowed 2 more.
There is no situation where he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
It’s very obvious what he means, and it’s not that. Stop giving him the benefit of the doubt, ffs
The problem is in order to talk to conservatives about this you need to get in their mind and consider how they’ll write off the statements.
His cult followers don’t matter. They are long gone and don’t give a shit about democracy as long as they get their way.
New voters, undecided voters and swing state voters who don’t like him, but didn’t care for Biden matter.
Eh, those in your circle of influence might make it so it doesn’t matter to you, but I know folks who are on the fence especially after the felony charges.
You do you, convincing the folks you mentioned, and let others do their job.
Those fit into ‘Undecided’
And are there conservative leaning undecided?
Any voter who is “on the fence” is an undecided voter.
For real. Everyone welcome every single news outlet to a thread, turns out it’s just one guy that can’t read.
That’s what it sounds like in context, especially with the mention about judges
This needs to be front page news and of course it isn’t.
CNN is trying to figure out what to do with their 350,000 LLM made articles about Biden being too old.
They keep trying to make stories about Harris, but since the LLM’s are trained on Reddit all it is doing is spewing out hardcore racism.
So think of the SpongeBob meme where he keeps revealing more dirty diapers. We are currently at the panel where he points out the window to the mountain of diapers.
For me, that panel happened after the “Grab them by the pussy” video almost 10 years ago
Ever since, we’ve been trying to clear that little pile and found out it’s a landfill under all their houses.
But what do you do when you realize that half the people you’re pointing the mountain out to have a diaper kink?
I maintain the true buttress holding up conservatism is religious suppression of kinks and sexuality.
Once we convince these people it’s ok to suck a dick, they are not bad for doing it, the GOP will crumble in a year.
Have to = be allowed to
How is this legal?
Not doing anything atm, just talking
Once elected he can make it legal
Because the Supreme Court just said it is.
This is all anyone needs to know to understand what we’re up against.
There will be no democracy if he wins.
There will be no democracy if he wins.
Given the outright rigging by voter registration culling, limited polling places, voter intimidation, gerrymandering and electoral nullification/tampering, winning so big that they can’t overcome the results is critical.
Get ready for swing state violence. With polling places severely reduced in swing states in left leaning areas, we will see more rhetoric about “2A people can take care of that”.
What will happen is that polling place will be closed, and no one will be allowed to vote. Since the books won’t be changed to another location, all those people will have their rights taken away. SCOTUS will say in a 6-3 decision “can only vote on this date”, and by doing so will also strip away voting by mail.
Biden said it explicitly on his last speech. Of course he also said this was a fight for democracy in 2020. He was right then too, but it never came true so people forgot.
It’s frustrating that if you fight against a thing and beat it, folks think there was no need to fight it in the first place. No. We routed evil temporarily. Great victory; still needs to be defeated again every time it rears its head.
I’ve been using the Death Star as an analogy for my nerd friends. Yes, we won a big battle, but the Empire isn’t dead. Gotta keep fighting.
A little more like Serenity/Firefly than Star Wars
There’s actually a term for that phenomenon: the Preparedness Paradox.
It almost did on January 6.
And if he doesn’t again, it won’t stop him from continuing the same path and not wait for the next election
Man isn’t even pretending to hide it anymore.
Never was
Or more literally: You won’t have a choice
