President Donald Trump concluded his Republican midterm convention on Thursday by leading the audience in a pledge … to himself.
Trump asked the crowd to raise their right hands and begin: “I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States.”
The crowd dutifully repeated the line, calling Trump “the greatest president in the history of the United States.”
Trump added: “that loves us so much he can’t even breathe.”
The crowd again repeated the line, but then it got a little harder to follow.
“That I will go out with my family, my friends, I’ll do it anyway, I don’t care if I’m registered or not. I’m going to try and cheat like hell like they do,” he said. “There’s never been bigger cheaters, they don’t care. I am going to go out and I am going to get my friends, my family, and we are going to vote on November 3rd or we are going to vote before that.”
Unable to repeat all of that, the crowd cheered.
Trump realized he lost them and reset.
“Are you ready?” he asked. “Here’s the way you ― “
But he wasn’t ready himself as he got sidetracked by people in the audience. He tried once more to finish, with the crowd repeating after him, but left them behind as he went off on another tangent.
“So help me God,” he concluded.
The crowd repeated that part heartily.
“You know what happens if you don’t vote?” Trump asked. “You go to hell!”
Sounds like something a pedophile would say.
That’s because it is a pedophile saying it.
It’s implied that the audience would have said it, but it was too long to remember.

So please raise your right hand.
I pledge – [Audience responds “I pledge”]
To the greatest president in the history of the United States. [Audience responds “To the greatest president in the history of the United States.”]
That loves us so much he can’t even breathe. [Audience responds “That loves us so much he can’t even breathe.”]
That I will go out with my family, my friends. I’ll do it anyway. I don’t care if I’m registered or not, I’m gonna try and cheat like hell like they do. They never, there’s never been bigger cheaters. They don’t care. I am gonna go out and I’m gonna get my friends, my family, and we are going to vote on November 3rd or we are going to vote before that. Donald Trump 00:18:54-00:19:12 (18 sec)
Right? I, okay, ready? Ready? Here’s the way you, okay, are you ready? Look, front row Joe’s, are you ready? [Audience members respond affirmatively]
The great la- – oh, look at them. The great ladies of North Carolina. It’s about number 300 rally. I don’t know how the hell they do it. They are beautiful. Okay, are you ready? [Audience members respond affirmatively]
Ready? To finish the pledge. So we swear that – [Audience responds “We swear”]

And you know what? If you want, you can vote Democrat, but I don’t think there’s one person in this room that’s gonna vote. [Audience responds “No”]
I don’t think so. So I don’t have to preface, I don’t wanna waste the words vote Republican, just go out. If you vote, you’re voting Republican. Okay. So help me God. [Audience responds “So help me God”]
Whoa. Now I know. Now, I’d say just about everybody would scream. You know what happens if you don’t vote? You go to hell. You know that. Okay? You go to hell. And I don’t want that to happen to you, so please go and vote because together we will defeat the communists. We will reject – [Audience chants “Vote”]
We will defeat the communists. We will reject, and that’s what they are. They’re not socialists. They’re not Democrats. They’re communists. We will reject these radical left lunatics. We will demolish the extremist, fanatics, lunatics and criminals who want to destroy our country. They want to destroy the country.
Note: Notice the AI stresslens to the right. I think we’re in trouble guys.

should have had fox news say it…
Actually, Fox just fired a Trump apparatchik for leaking Fox News communiques to the White House. Something is going on with the right. Maybe the corpos are finally realizing that in a fascist state, they have the same rights as everyone else, ie, none.
nah, it’s just that fascists eat each other too.
when your goal is absolute power no matter the cost, even factions within your group can become obstacles. The new fascists are often butting heads with the old fascists.
So, what is the faction of the conservative movement that benefits from Trump losing power? Maybe they see him as a millstone around the neck of the party at this point.
See you’re thinking like a rational human being. It’s not even so much that they benefit from Trump losing power so much as they want to be the ones in power. They’re killing children and lining their pockets either way, but they wanna do it their way and kill the children they want to kill.
Infighting simply isn’t a rational decision to make in the first place. They should work together to complete a large number of their shared goals, and then split into infighting over their ideological differences once the bigger battles have been won. They are indulging in their emotions, but one should never correct an enemy making a mistake.
Fox News, see the light? No way
The corporate suits at Foxnews don’t want an underling usurping their power.
To the MAGAt morons out there, that pedophile will not be in office forever and you WILL go to FEDERAL prison for election fraud. Tbh he might not even try to save you from your deserved fate because as he TOLD YOU he doesn’t care about you only your vote. I know you aren’t used to using your brain but attempt to do so in this situation. Or not. You going to federal prison is fine too (/the unsympathetic left).
At this point, I welcome locking them all up for this plague they’ve unleashed upon us.
