anti-voting activists
Fascists. Call them by their name.
Certainly THIS illegal act will be the one that makes the justice wake up, and not just another one swept under the rug because "akshually, the president cannot do crime" - as per SCOTUS
Certainly THIS illegal act will be the one that makes the justice wake up
Or the American people.
This is my hard limit of taking up arms. IDK about you guys but I think bypassing an election to steal a third or more terms is blatant tyranny and should kick off a revolution.
The Elections Clause of the U.S. Constitution explicitly gives states — not the president — sole authority over elections.
For this very fucking reason.
The Constitution is as strong as the paper it’s written on.
As OP stated. SCOTUS is captured by a complicit majority that wants a right wing theocracy.
The 6 corrupt Supreme Court justices have shown that waving a copy of the Constitution lightly over their rulings is close enough for them. They've made it very clear that states have no real authority over elections by forcing them to include Trump on their ballots after he clearly incited an insurrection.
Our laws and Constitution are meaningless with this Supreme Court.
As a Constitution Loving QAnon believer who HATES Pedophiles AND Corruption I APPLAUD the President, who Raped Children with Jeffrey Epstein, taking UNCONSTITUTIONAL Control of Elections!
It really is anticlimactic.
We get an honest to god pedo cabal, and a federal powergrab, and the response from factions who dedicated entire lives to warning, as loud as they can shout, about these two exact things is...
"Meh?"
Meanwhile, it seems the world is chanting for the Clintons to burn at the stake; the opposite of what they expected?
I would be so confused if I was QAnon.
the world
I know it may feel that way, but I assure you, the rest of the world is watching the US right now like this:
This is one of those times I would support another country kidnapping a president just like our government has done...
Freedom of speech is basically not even a thing any more, the chance that someone shows up to my door for saying this is not 0 like it should be.
Its crazy, what these people are allowed to get away with and the fact that the democrats are not saying so every day as loud as they can just like these fools have done constantly in the past... says a lot about the whole situation.
Its frustrating beyond belief and it always seems to be getting worse.
That "blatantly illegal" part should be a key part of every headline dealing with this anti-American treachery.
as if red state boards of elections won't do whatever he tells them anyway...
Exactly how he was installed as tyrant in the first place.
Good point. Issue isn’t with him taking over blue states. It’ll be with him doing this in red states preventing representation of for blue districts. We’ll see Atlanta with 0 democrats elected.
Isn't the title of the post false?
The headline is "Anti-voting activists co-ordinating with White House on blatantly illegal draft emergency order to take control of elections", and by all accounts it seems to be some group of far right activist cranks who are circulating the "order" and not the WH?
Let's not muddy the waters. They are circulating it within the White House, it says so right in the article.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/02/26/trump-elections-executive-order-activists/
Activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a draft executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.https://
"Activists who say"
What does the White House say?
Before legislation is passed, it is often drafted by people outside of Congress, and outside of the White House. Corporate lobbyists, for example.
I hope America recognises that the stakes are too high to be dismissive of this. Even if it goes nowhere the first time, or the tenth, becoming complacent would be a huge mistake.
Even still, Noem literally stated, on mic, on camera to the nation, that ICE would be at the polls ensuring the "right people" vote for the "right leaders". Believe your enemy when they're dumb enough to tell you their plan.
If American voters could read, they would be upset!
I mean, sure, but as far as I can tell from the article it's not the WH circulating the draft order?
One and the same
