That was the plan since 2020 and everyone knew this. That no one was able to stop this shows how dead US democracy is.
The worst part is that the media is complicit. They'll never report on the truth when these fuckwads screw with the elections.
Saying they are complicit suggests they're quietly looking the other way. If you look at our good friends at Fox or Newsmax, they are enthusiastically going whole-hog into it.
Trump thanked the election boards for giving him a bigly win.
Corporate News Sewers are just skimming money off of you til you die. Journalism is a joke. They can’t interview for shit, they’re not allowed to say what’s going on. It’s a nightmare three decades in the making.
The midterms have already been stolen by the fascists through disenfranchisement tactics like gerrymandering, voter id, closing of polling places, purges of non-Republican registrations, and much more.
When politicians can pick the voters, democracy has already died.
It's been proven that 70% of the nations ballot machines are owned by the same company. Keep in mind, that company that owns them, has been sued SEVERAL times over the last couple decades for falsifying ballots, updating software with vulnerabilities in them, hooking them up to internet illegally, and changing their names several times to avoid people recognizing their previous horrible companies and their crimes.
The government gave them more and more power ever since the 2000's debacle that ended in a rigged election. So there is ZERO faith in our election process anymore as there is no telling if your ballot is going to be counted correctly, or if the votes will simply be swayed to whatever the billionaires want in office at that time.
We still need to vote every chance we get, but as time goes on, it will become more clear just how poorly setup our voting system is compared to other countries.
Diebold voting machines, brought to you by Halliburton corporation, of Cheney family fame.

Yep and Trump brag how Musk had haked the machines for Trump. Why he always made it clesr that if he won Republicans wouldn't have to vote every again. Literally every Republican voter could stay home and not vote and still Republicans will win.
Traditionally, a president this unpopular invites a huge backlash during midterms, even in relatively "safe" partisan territory.
Gotta wonder what happens if the opposition party has an enormous turnout and yet the election judges award seats to all the original assholes.
Also gotta wonder... if the Dems get Bush v Gore'd seat by seat across the entire country, what do they do next? Do they fight back? Or just blame Transgender voters and anti-genocide protesters again?
Judging by US politics since Gore was handed a loss by the SCOTUS and the brother of his opponent - they won't do a damn thing.
There will not be midterms.
Oh there will be midterms, they have to keep up appearances.
It's just that we all know who will win them with a landslide
I think of those stories from the Russian 'elections'. Of soldiers barging into booths and roughing up people. Of stuffing false ballots into the boxes.
The template is there.
