      Ask for papers, create delays and require all votes be submitted before the polls close to prevent people from casting ballots in key districts. Not sure if I like this game of guessing what form evil will come in.

    Remember, its only election fraud if a republican loses.

    its only fraud if trump gets less votes than he wanted.

    even if its on the same ballot, if 12 republicans win on the ballot, and 1 democrat wins… Its only the democrat win thats fraudulent, not the entire ballot. not the republican votes.

    Republican votes are never fraudulent, especially when they are.

      Also, Remember, They have a urgent criminal need to subvert these elections, to maintain power.

      Because the epstein file releases, which have been heavily redacted and censored in their favor, still reveals a vile cult of sick child rapists.

      They are literally fighting for their lives, That is how desperate they are to steal these next two elections. Thats why they are so dangerous right now, Thats why they are trying to crush the public with ICE, Its why they are trying to build databases of opponents and dissidents, its why they are doing everything they can to violently intimidate and suppress anyone wanting to act against them.

      Thats why they are so obsessed with fraud, because, as they’ve done for 50 years, Republicans always point the finger at the democrats for everything that the republicans themselves do, want to do, or will do.

        You are so 100% correct. They have never been this close to total power, and they know that not only will they not come back from another failure, the consequences are likely to be EXTREMELY bad. The American people will not accept anything less than serious punishment for MAGAs CRIMES.

        So like you said, they are literally fighting for their lives. I’ll add to that, that they are socio/psychopaths with all manner of extreme mental presentations, and are capable of going beyond anything in our worst imaginations. They not only will employ serious violence, they WANT to.

        This next election will tell the tale. I find it impossible to believe that there is any chance that they will allow this election to proceed unmolested, and if the majority of either chambers flips, they will contest it with all sorts of simultaneous strategies that they are already discussing.

        MAGA currently only has a one vote lead in the House. If a couple more quit immediately, which might be possible if they keep committing heinous atrocities, the House may flip BEFORE the election.

        Dems should be using whatever influence they have with corporate America to hire some suffering Congressional Republican who hates what’s happening. I’ll bet there’s a bunch. Woo a few away with good salaries and benefits, and MAGAs election fraud will be for naught.

            last time we had presidential corruption, it was pardoned “to help the country heal”.

            Which was utter bullshit and Ford should have been impeached and put on trial for doing it… but America does not have a good history of holding presidential malfeasance particularly accountable.

              When we emerge from this, it will be absolutely that we not continue “business as usual.” MAGA wanted change this nation, and we should oblige them, and totally reconfigure it so it serves the people, regulates the wealthy and corporations, and has an election system that filters out the corrupt, and filters in the intelligent.

              We are in unprecedented territory, and it will require unprecedented solutions. Constantly saying that we’ve never done that before is not helpful, and only sends the message that we would accept the same old easy non-solutions that brought us here.

              MAGA is expecting to get spanked real hard, because that’s what they would do. Let’s not disappoint them.

          They’re already talking about stationing their gestapo ICE Gestapo at voting locations across the country, They are actively, and openly, discussing their plans to openly interfere in the election. The only question is if its gonna be via violence and disappearance before people can get in the door to vote, or if its gonna be absconding with the ballots after voting, but before counting.

            That’s what the 2nd Amendment is for: people will need to form militias in their communities to protect voters from interference by ICE.

              “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”

              What does that mean exactly? It sounds like as much right as we have to bear arms, we also have been given the right to form our own organized, “well-regulated” militias, and in fact, the Founding Fathers called it “necessary to the security of a free state.”

              Sounds like we should be putting together our own armed groups to defend the security of our free state. I’m sure MAGA would consider them terror cells.

      But it will end in 2029 since Trump isn’t allowed to have a third term, so someone else will have to run and based off the flip flopping, the winner will probably be a democrat.

      Midterms are more than half a year away and they already start normalizing the narrative of the next ‘big steal’. Until November they will have convinced their base that a democrat win would solely be based of the Reps not being allowed to cheat the election (which is somewhat true but you know how they’ll mean it).

      Good luck hoping for the outcome to be an non-violent end of Trumps presidency.

        It’s really easy for Republicans to make this argument as well.

        How can libs win elections when you don’t know any?

        This makes a lot of sense to some guy from Kansas. Everyone he knows loves Trump, so how can Trump lose? I hear this from a lot of relatives.

    Why does it seem like everyone forgot that he already tried to rig the elections on Jan 6? Democracy officially died on January 20, 2025, and we were screaming from the rooftops that it was going to die if Trump were reelected. But Trump is just a symptom of a larger issue.

    The real rot in our system has been here since the founding of the country. The founding fathers chose capitalism as the form of economics, and what they didn’t realize (or maybe did) was that they were just replacing one king with another. They explicitly allowed people who seek power to continue to be allowed to have power over others. Regardless of how much it is or isn’t regulated, it will always lead back to the same road. Call it monarchy, oligarchy, fascism, dictatorship, authoritarianism, or whatever else you want, but this is the road that we travel down whenever we allow rulers in society.

    The only way to fix this forever is to not allow rulers in society. Anything short of that will lead us right back here.
