this fucking dipshit has been whining about "fraud" since the day he started, including when he "won"
the idea, of course, is to implant the notion that "if i lose, it's only because of fraud. if i win, it's because the people have spoken" which is trying to remove the notion that maybe it's fucking republicans who habitually commit fraud (which they do), from the public consciousness
typical lying fucking liars telling lies, all day every day.
you want voter fraud? look at the GOP
This is true, if you look up confirmed convictions related to voter fraud, it’s literally always Repugs.
Can't wait for the poll tax and Jim Crow tests to ensure only the "correct people" vote.

Oh, they meant something alright. They meant a loss of control and, to some of them, a loss of "status". The rich ones want to go back to a time when people "knew their place" - or in other words, when everyone who wasn't rich was oppressed.
Protect the party.
Fuck the country I guess.
He can spill bullshit all day about this because it is illegal. He would need everyone in position to make that..... oh no.
We should nationalize the republican party, and the heritage foundation, and at that rate we might as well nationalize the democrats too
