Illegal.
And fascism.
America was warned. America didn't listen. Now we get to do things the hard way. Maybe it'll only last 17 years like it did for Hungary.
I hate that for those of you who did listen when the easy way was an option.
You need those in the right position to organise a sustained shutdown which is now the next easiest way. There’s enough in the right places but getting them to do it is the thing. That’s what’s missing; the people to lead and sort out logistics.
invoking his debunked claims that the United States does not have fair elections.
If they are not fair, then how the fuck is he even in office?
Because liberals believe he won a fair election. Only leftists really believe our elections are unfair, and the right wing seized an opportunity.
The concept of legality is fungible under this administration like no other.
And however crooked the elections were before is nothing like what is about to be attempted.
I mean, nothing about FPP is fair tbh.
Election fraud lol
No one really covered all the stolen mail in votes and burned mailboxes by MAGA citizens
Duh? Not to mention this but people keep putting their head in the sand
I see this news on a lot of sites but I couldn't find the truth social post.
I do believe he said it though. Apparently he did this in 2024.
So, election interference then, eh. He knows the Rs will never win again with the shit they've already pulled, but it won't matter if you can't actually vote anymore.
Where the state militias who supposedly are allowed to exist to defend against tyrannical governments
Out intimidating voters by brandishing firearms in blue districts.
They traded their independence from the feds in exchange for free used equipment.
How are you guys who stayed home feeling? You could have helped prevent this bullshit from happening, and you did nothing.
But if Harris had won, Israel would have continued committing genocide!
Yes, and they would have had less support from the US, given that she supports a 2-state solution vs wanting to bulldoze the entirety of Gaza.
Something something Kamala bad
Something something Zionist-Hitler "dems are as bad as real nazis" generic tankie cope, etc

They are still insisting that they are in the right.
I say that a movement that can't be bothered to vote, or even spoil its ballot, is not credible in doing the higher order civil disobedience.
They literally expect people to fight a civil war against the Republicans, then they expect to have a seat at the table in the restructuring of the government.
They are literally the reason this shit is happening. Fuck the Idle Left. They do nothing but complain.
You are very good at typing not-particularly-true-things that divide those who should be opposed to the current regime. Also using vague language where you're talking about a tiny fraction of the population but you make it sound so much grander while retaining deniability. Does the GOP pay you, or do you do it for love of the game?

So elections are canceled. They can shoot me as much as they want and I will reanimate and drag my carcass to the piles to vote against the pedo traitor.

"Election Integrity Army" keeping elections fair since 1921.
If you see someone intimidating voters at your voting office, it is your patriotic duty to SHOOT THEM IN THE HEAD.
As a voter I would be intimidated by that
This is not going to end well.
They are going to purposely go to places with higher percentage of POC voters to antagonize and start something.

So lemme get this straight: the guy who won the last election is claiming that the elections are rigged? I'm just trying to understand here
It's how he knows they're rigged. If they weren't he wouldn't have won.

There's alot of noise and "I told you so's" going on in here. what is the solution? Start planning how we Americans can go vote safely and securely no matter what, that is our duty. And before you say you first: I'm disabled and can't fight like the healthy, I'll go to the polls regardless, even if I die doing so, I will not let them win.
I already said it. There's not going to be a real election. And the media will call it a "miracle Red Wave."
If the US doesn’t have fair elections—how did Trump get elected twice? Oh right b/c they’re fair when maggots get their way, and elections are rigged when they lose. If Mango Shittler sends armies to polling stations is it fair to say……that there will be blood???
Hypocrisy or contradictions are not an obstacle for fascism, at all. Quite the opposite! So yes they want you to know they cheated, and that they outsmarted you that way, because you were too dumb to stop them, it's not something that they want to hide, it's a powermove. As in I can cheat and you can't do anything about it even if you tried.
Here is a literal quote:
"Wenn unsere Gegner sagen: Ja, wir haben Euch doch früher die […] Freiheit der Meinung zugebilligt – –, ja, Ihr uns, das ist doch kein Beweis, daß wir das Euch auch tuen sollen! […] Daß Ihr das uns gegeben habt, – das ist ja ein Beweis dafür, wie dumm Ihr seid!" - Rede vom 4. Dezember 1935, zitiert nach Helmut Heiber (Hrsg.), Goebbels-Reden, Band 1, Droste, Düsseldorf 1971,
translation: "When our opponents say: 'Yes, we did grant you the […] freedom of opinion earlier – –', well, the fact that you granted it to us is certainly no proof that we should do the same for you! […] That you gave it to us – that is precisely proof of how stupid you are!"

He can't change our vote by mail status and any jack boots coming here are in for a surprise...
Election integrity here is ALREADY maintained by precinct committee persons. It's an elected position.
One of their job duties is monitoring ballot drop off locations for tampering and intimidation.
He can’t change our vote by mail status
He can use that army to deter those mails from reaching their target because he sees them as suspect.
One of their job duties is monitoring ballot drop off locations for tampering and intimidation.
And if they see it happening, who's going to stop it?
The voting rights act wasn’t enough huh.
