There is no way MAGA will accept a Democrat victory in the Midterms, especially if it flips either chamber.

There is no way Trump leaves in 2028.

We ALL already know this in our hearts and our brains. We have to talk about it, and internalize it, and start making contingency plans for those nearly CERTAIN situations.

Here's hoping that people care this time.

This is the line. Let's be honest. That's the red line. If he actually crosses that line you should do things that the World mods will ban me for saying. But that's it. That's the point where any semblance of democracy is totally gone. Where even the most neoliberal Democrat has to know that voting no longer means anything. That's the point where you have to make a choice. That would be the final Point wherein there is a line of the sand you either put on the red hat and fall in line or you play back. Some would argue we've already reached that point mind you, but I think that would be the last reasonable line.

Why wouldn’t he commit more crimes? He’s been committing crimes with impunity his entire life. Who’s going to stop him?

Wait, are we still all thinking he'll peacefully leave the white house after the shit he pulled last time?

REPUBLICANS should get Sole Control over who Wins Elections? They MUST Need some FUNDING for that! Let's GIVE it to Them!

-Chuck Schumer (D) and Hakeem Jeffries (D)!

More treason.

In a healthy nation the Republican party would be disbanded and outlawed.

But this isn't a healthy nation, so assuming we get to continue having elections and they are fair and the Republicans lose, I expect American's hamster brains to completely forget about this in one or two election cycles and start flirting with letting these traitors have power again.

This dipshit proved who he was the first time around and we only managed to get through one term without him before letting a child back into the Oval Office. We're a very stupid nation.

I mean the food, seats, and extra stuff is a lot better than AMC. The only reason I went to the AMC near me was for iron lung and so many seats had stains and the bathroom was ehhh.

Edit: Not sure how it went to this post, my b

Trump’s comments come as Republicans in Congress push a bill that would enable massive voter purges, impose photo ID requirements, and ban ranked-choice voting, universal mail-in ballots, and the acceptance of mailed ballots that arrive after Election Day.

And you just KNOW the Democraps are going to let them have it all too.

Surely the guys with big trucks flying Don't Tread on Me flags are against this

The thing is, there's no mechanism for nationalizing voting, and I don't really see a clear path for Republicans to do that in the next nine months. They'd have to pass legislation to do that, which would be extremely difficult given their margins in congress. Even then, states control elections as a function of the Constitution, and while the Supreme Court is happy to approve whatever unconstitutional bullshit Trump dreams up, it will take times to get through the courts. He could try to seize control of the voting process from states, but I don't know that he has the infrastructure to manage the whole voting process through the executive branch, and the fact that he's asking the Republicans to do this for him makes me think he knows this. Either way, any kind of coup on the election process would face the same legal challenges as legislation.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't be extremely worried. I think it's unlikely that the Republicans will, "nationalize the voting," but I think it's very likely he'll send federal goons in to, "prevent voter fraud," (AKA suppress the vote).

He's been saying this kind of thing all along, either canceling or rigging the elections. Why is it only a fire now?

The election was quite close in Minnesota, and Harris won it. Of all the states won by the Democrats, Minnesota had the closest margin.

Is his plan as blatant as taking the demographic that voted against him, loading them into a van, and disappearing them?

“Republicans” should.

Not the States, not bipartisan whatever…just them. That tells you everything.

Quickly: let’s do nothing!!!

So less state rights? And more big government? The cornerstone of the Republican party?

The party of small government strikes again.

Pathetic.

We all knew he would do anything and everything possible to stop the midterms. He knows he will go to prison if he gets impeached and charged, so he is waging a full on war on every right we have.

This november will be very interesting with thousands of DHS gestapo at local voting station intimidating voters, GOP refusing to swear in democratic winners, and the hourly posts by the president telling his cult everything is rigged and they are all going to have to fight for something BS.

You want to nationalize the voting system? Okay, get congressional republicans to submit a bill for an amendment to the constitution, pass it through both houses, institute a constitutional convention, get 2/3 of states to ratify.
