“So, we have to be careful. You got to get out there and watch those voters,” Trump said, adding, “You don’t have to vote, don’t worry about voting. The voting, we got plenty of votes.”
He’s saying that he’s going to win by force. And he probably will. It’s over.
They’ve been doubling down on voter suppression and various other legislative bullshit.
Yeah, I’m a bit concerned about that myself. I live in a red state, but a blue city that is 43% black. They have arcane voting laws that force you to stand in line for hours. I can definitely imagine a scenario where long voting lines in the city are attacked by white nationalist gunmen, and all the law-abiding unarmed voters are defenseless. This won’t stop me from voting or having my long gun in the truck, but it is something I’ve been concerned about.
What is over exactly?
Why do you say “he probably will” as if it was a done deal?
Are you a trump shill?
@spaceghoti hit the high points. The presumptive nominee for President of the United States for one of two major parties is openly fascist, with exactly zero consequences. He has a lot of people on his side, many of whom are already in positions of power in government, in all three branches, and in the press.
There have been plenty of opportunities for consequences to be laid upon these people who are still working to overthrow the foundations of democracy. None have been laid. None. I have zero faith in the ability of a democratic government to be able to put down this fascism.

You are free to browse my comment history to make your own judgment on that. Or go fuck yourself, your choice.
“Go fuck yourself”
Ok, I deserve that for insulting you.
But moving on, I disagree with you. If he couldn’t overturn the elections while being president, he won’t be able to do shit now.
They’re saying democracy in the US is over. The slow walk of prosecutions against the Jan. 6th insurgents, particularly its organizers, has given the fascists the confidence to do it again at a national level. We’ll either have to fight back with equal violence, flee, or submit to their dictatorship.

A sane legal system takes time. While I agree the organizers have mostly gotten off scott-free, it’s because they know how to keep themselves in the grey area even knowing full-well how the uneducated, violent people will react to their messages. The rubes have gotten hard time and I feel potential rubes have taken some notice. They’ll still play the victim all day, but they seem less hesitant to join calls to action.
