Thank GOD the Democrats DIDNT make it Political when they were in Office!
I feel so sorry about the continuing decline of the USA political system to an actual autocratic fascist regime
The big difference between Pre-Trump US and Post-Trump US is that white people are being forced to eat the same turd sandwich as everyone else.
The sandwich is getting bigger and the turds stinkier. But more than anything, you've got pasty white EMTs and blonde housewives from Minneapolis getting the same treatment as Michael Brown and Rodney King
Im done feeling sorry for Americans fucking this up so bad when the writing was in neon signs flashing in their faces.
Im done feeling sorry for Americans
Horrified to discover we will no longer be receiving your Thoughts and Prayers.
Facing a nationalist- fascist threat it must surely be good strategie for the threatened to desolidarize using national identity
Somebody explain to me how there’s rampant fraud but also the republicans took the house, senate, presidency, and the Supreme Court. That makes no sense.
I think it makes perfect sense
It’s just another distraction. The average person is easily manipulated with emotion. That is why propaganda is so effective and that is why this will also work if it happens.
The fraud is rampant. It's called gerrymandering, closing polling locations, poll taxes (ID requirements that cost money), propaganda, voter intimidation, etc
Republicans are obsessed with voter fraud because they are the ones doing it and they can't comprehend that everyone else wouldn't be too. "I cheat all the time, how come I can never catch the other guys cheating?"
Tbf, the Democrats are gerrymandering too. You're 100% correct about the rest though
Wow, support Trump much? You're supposed to vote for any candidate who's in whichever of the two biggest parties that's closer to opposing the problem, even if the candidate themself doesn't even mention the problem.
It's obvious enough that it should solely dictate your vote, but this good innocent candidate probably never heard of it.
No no no, NO! See, look, right, here goes, when the ~~Gang Of Paedos~~Angelic Republicans lose an election it's because of the SHOCKING RAMPANT FRAUD. OK!!?!!
However on the elections the GoodGuys™ win then it's because of all their diligent and trustworthy behind the scenes hard work they do to ensure no SHOCKING RAMPANT FRAUD is going on.
But..but...but, unfortunately, those pesky tricksy demoncrats are in league with the devil and always find ways to do some SHOCKING RAMPANT FRAUD to sway the honest, free, fair elections that the Pure Innocent ~~Nazis~~Conservatives hold so dearly to their virginal and trustworthy hearts.
Do you understand and are in agreement, or do I have to send ICE around to explain it to you personally? (In a free and fair and nonviolent manner, of course)
Because the election fraud benefits the Republicans. These actions are to ensure the frauds continue.
It doesn't need to make sense... we're far beyond this point. It needs to KEEP THEM IN POWER, this will totally suffice. Since no ones going to hold them accountable (ignoring court rulings is a habit) this should do as fig leaf.
The only national emergency is him raping kids. Bullshit cunt of a president. Even Joe Biden was better.
The only national emergency is him raping kids
Yeah, that's far from the only national emergency.
Even Joe Biden was better.
Joe Biden enabled Donald Trump.
Biden was the first president since the 70s who tried to enforce antitrust laws, meaning going against megacorporations to reduce anti-competitive practices.
All true.
He also made the biggest mistake in our lifetimes appointing Garland and who dragged his feet for 4 years and let Trump get away starting an insurrection.
BRING BACK LINA KHAN
Mamdani just brought her into his administration in NYC
What the article isn't saying is that Bannon himself is part of the plan, making sure everyone knows a national emergency is coming, getting in front of it. Bannon's not talking about election insecurity out of concern: telling the media now is his part in making it happen. This asshole WANTS a third term and everything that goes with it, including ICE at polling stations:
Steve Bannon Doubles Down on Third Trump Term -- Newsweek, April 2026
Also, it bears repeating: before you give this asshole too much credence it's best to always keep in mind that Bannon was arguably Jeffrey Epstein's best friend. So close were they that Epstein was on his way to meet Bannon the day he got arrested in 2019. His very last text was to Bannon as he was being detained at Teterboro Airport, telling Bannon their plans are "All canceled" now.
To quote one of Bannon's texts to Epstein,
Everyone thinking there's no way this will work is 100% the reason it inevitably will. Y'all keep believing in the system...
Also he's 0 for 17 on suing states for their voter rolls.
Unfortunately, a lot of red states probably handed the voter rolls over willingly, without needing a lawsuit at all.
Red states gonna Red state.
Which is really strange, because the voter rolls are public information in every state of the Union. You can just buy them, and many political action groups do.
Well, it's not actually about the voter rolls.
Also Trump famously doesn't pay people.
The states: "that's cool, we're gonna have our elections anyway"
It has to be some kind of mass psychosis at this point, the amount of faith Americans continue to have in systems that the fascists have systematically subverted and destroyed on their path.
“No no, I’m sure THIS TIME we’ll be okay”
In high school, Americans all take civics and history classes where they teach us how balanced the government is to prevent this. They didn't mention who inspired the German holocaust.
Not when he sends ICE to shut them down
how many ice’s you got tho?
you know, aside from the obvious TOO FUKEN MANY
All they need to do is send them to key "swing" cities.
You won't see ICE taking voting boxes and machines in vehemently blue areas. You'll see them in contested areas that make the real difference.
The people need to organize to resist this. We can't count on the Dems in office to adequately do it.
A couple thousand ICE agents spread across 110,000 polling places in the US?
Good luck.
Doesn't have to do them all. Democrats are super concentrated relative to Republicans. Here in Georgia, if ICE would shut down just Fulton county, they'd shift the state-wide margin by close to 10 percentage points, and that's just 40 polling sites.
“Your honor, there were armed and masked men impersonating law enforcement and intimidating people at a polling place. I believed it was my patriotic duty to defend my community from what must have been terrorists.”
Judge: "Don't care. Guilty. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, go directly to jail"
Too many people think our justice system cares at all about circumstances.
and half the states send their national guards to support ICE
Bannon needs to finish drinking himself to death
It's wild that this writing has been on the wall since at least before he was reelected, and it literally does not matter at all.
What's worse, is you fucking know the liberals will refuse to stop him, and will help quell the violent leftists.
So, his administration is still sticking with the story that china took information from millions of ballots, but didn’t change any votes. How exactly does showing your photo id protect from that? What are they doing to safeguard our polling data? Oh, right, nothing…not even a slap on the wrist for china because “that was a long time ago and they’re a different country now.” It’s all just going to be a bullshit excuse for what’s coming from him.
I think everyone has been mostly peaceful so far because we’re expecting the midterms to change things. If he fucks with the elections, it’s not going to remain peaceful and he’ll use that as an excuse to use the military on citizens and jail democrats.
The number of noncitizens on the rolls is microscopic compared to the election results. Removing these votes does nothing to change the outcome.
Only by removing citizens under guise of checking the rolls can they hope to gain an upper hand. This is a conspiracy to steal the midterms.
