its a smokescreen so when they rig the election again with Elon its because the dems didnt show up and not because votes were purged
Yup, it’s the exact same propaganda trap that Hillary’s campaign fell prey to. Leading up to the vote with her and Trump, a large part of her campaign messaging had basically been “we’ve got this, he’s an idiot, he has no chance, he’s such an awful candidate.”
And then about a month before the election, there was a hard pivot when they realized they had lulled their voters into a false sense of security. The messaging suddenly changed from “we’ve got this” to “oh for the love of god, please go vote.” But it was too little, too late.
I think they seriously underestimated and still do just how many people actually swapped from Bernie to Trump.
Trump supporters are literally out there crediting him with successfully lowering gas prices, this is happening right now, today. They are in a completely different reality from us. Dont buy this hype from the media corpos for a second (all of which are controlled by Larry Ellison, famed Zionist, who would obviously love to keep the current power structure.)
Can only hope people actually get out to vote and aren't false answering the polls.
I’m not sure it matters if people vote in the Democrats into power. Trump will neither accept the results, will invalidate the results, or will create some kind of emergency where the actual midterms will be upended.
There’s no way the Trump regime / project 2025 will give up their currently held power they’ve been striving to get for years.
Yes. Thats the point. The more people vote the harder itnis for them to fudge the numbers. Voting is step one, the least you can do. When they inevitable try to rat fuck the election, it will be so obvious, and give everyone a reason to join the protest. Then we shut things down like the french.
Also, don't capitulate because you're sure they're going to do some fuckery. Make them actually do it.
First step is voting!
Fuck Trump and all those traitorous fuckers to the highest of fuckativity!
