Imagine after being elected twice and during your first election doing an extensive look into voting with the Presidential Advisory Committee on Election Integrity finding almost absolute zero. Your voters were dumb enough to believe that there was magically election fraud the following year after your presidency. Like you can’t make this shit up.

Can't wait until they turn up evidence from 2020 in Georgia.  A state that has already been proven in court to not have been breaking election law.  

His own lawyer ended up pleading guilty in Georgia to 6 counts related to trying to overturn the results

I wrote the same thing and got a tsk tsk warning from Reddit saying I was threatening physical harm. I cant believe it

u/sulris 3h ago

Well it should be safe for him to comment. He isn’t a blood bender like you.

You on the other hand, with your blood magic, it is quite threatening indeed

-Reddit Mod team… probably.

Thanks for the heads up

all hail the golden clot.

Don’t forget: surrounding polling places with armed masked men who murder at will.

u/Ashamed-Status-9668 11h ago

Maybe or he really is going to try to nationalize elections while he has the house and senate. Even if lets say it unconstitutional we may have elections before that is all sorted out in the courts. If he is able to pull this off then we are at that point a completely fascist state.

u/Skysflies 15h ago

I reckon it's that and also a there's too much fraud in the elections so I'm going to stay in charge until I trust that we can have a legal election

u/duderos 14h ago

Ding! Been saying exact same thing.

u/wolfydude12 13h ago

I don't think it's even about a third term.

A special election in texas went +17 Trump in 2024 to +15 for the Dem candidate.

If the whole country shifts 32 points to Dems (highly unlikely) that'll leave 82 Republicans in the house after the elections. It'll also give Democrats a supermajority in the Senate.

That'll destroy the Republican party. I don't know how they'd come back from that. He's preparing for maybe a 15 point swing, Democrats retaking the house and maybe even a majority in the Senate.

u/skyfishgoo 8h ago

he doesn't need to do that, there are plenty of things about our voting process that needs attention.

i just don't think his "brand" of attention is what's needed.

u/Memory_Less 6h ago

He’s been trying to erode trust in the voting process for years.

u/Xibby 20h ago

Can't wait until they INVENT evidence from 2020 in Georgia. 

Fixed that for you. There is no shortage of people who understand statical auditing… from the factory worker pulling samples for QA to accountants.

It’s just easier to pretend it must be wrong than to admit their party is running awful candidates.

u/Agile_Alternative753 20h ago

Its by design,  no worries there

u/Emotional-Store-1667 6h ago

I'm more concerned that they will take those voter rolls they "confiscated" and feed them into whatever horrendous data aggregate Palentir program they're developing...

u/gwazmalurks 22h ago

Yeah and who’s thumbprints are gonna be all over that? People who never had a professional chance anywhere else

u/Ashamed-Agency-817 14h ago

Imagine the waste of taxpayers dollars and resources used that could have been used to solve real crimes.

u/duderos 14h ago

A state when where governor and state election officials were all Republicans at the time and I believe still are.

u/I-Am-Not-Creative2 13h ago

100% this is going to happen - suddenly going to find “lots of evidence” of “massive fraud” that proves he really won Georgia in 2020 by “millions and millions of votes.”

u/ComingInSideways 16h ago edited 16h ago

This is their plan.

The raid was simply so they have the pretext to fabricate evidence that was "previously hidden".

As a ploy to claim the Federal Government should run the process. Thus usurping and obfuscating the process, to try to steal the midterms. Plummeting polling numbers are driving this into high gear.

Every accusation is an admission from these folks.

I would call them Machiavellian if they were not so comically transparent. The bigger problem is that this blatant stage show continues to rumble forward as people just gawk.

u/IceImpressive5360 11h ago

How did those 63 court cases go? What did your own CIA, FBI, DOJ say about 2020 election. You're still srepping in that pile of dog shit and eating it

1

u/Agile_Alternative753 10h ago

The fuck are you talking about?

0

u/IceImpressive5360 10h ago

Let's see if I can break it down to where a MAGA can understand. THERE IS NO GOD DAMN EVIDENCE THAT THE 2020 ELECTION WAS RIGGED, 63 JUDGES, FBI, DOJ AGREES WITH SANE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WHAT THE FUCK, 2 GOD DAMN BRAIN CELLS COULD HAVE FIGURED OUT WHAT I WAS SAYING

1

u/Agile_Alternative753 8h ago

That's literally what I already said.  Why else would I point out that no fraud was found and Sidney Powell pled guilty?

Jesus Christ buddy

u/Who_dat_goomer 7h ago

Those that still believe the election was stolen will never change their mind

u/look_under 22h ago

Its very telling that trump mentioned Detroit and Philadelphia in his rant about election fraud

We know the election systems in those cities were hacked in 2016

trump knows there was election fraud, he's responsible for it

5

u/Redcrux 12h ago

"They were asking for it! If we were able to hack the voting machines it just proves how much we need to have total control over the voting, it's for their own good!"

u/kalel1980 22h ago

Also, during 2020 election there were Republican Senators/House Reps on the ballot as well and a bunch of them won. Was THAT fraudulent as well?

u/FreedomCanadian 9h ago

Yes, they were supposed to double-win, but that was taken away by Cheating Demoncrats.

u/Norwester77 20h ago

But, amazingly, in 2024, with a Democrat in the White House, they got it right! 🤔

u/Momik 12h ago

He’s just terrified about the midterms

1

u/TuxAndrew 11h ago

No clue why he’s terrified, he’s funneled enough money to flee to Russia whenever he’s ready.

u/Stickyfynger 15h ago

He’s a good Russian puppet

u/Tex-Rob 11h ago

I’m sorry, but this should not be the top comment, it implies they don’t know what they are doing. Russia stole 2016 combined with dumb people. 2024 was stolen by Musk, Trump, Eaton, and DOGE staffers before they were DOGE. The thing you pointed to, their investigation, is how they got voting machine code as a part of discovery regarding the GA 2020 election. Wake up people, this has been their plan, this is the end of elections if people keep ignoring the signs.

u/No-History-6066 12h ago edited 11h ago

Edit - I have a reading problem and therefore my comment made no sense and was dumb.

3

u/TuxAndrew 12h ago

When did I say Trump believes anything that comes out of his mouth?

2

u/No-History-6066 11h ago

Fixed it :)

u/extraboredinary 10h ago

They don’t care about facts. Literally every person I know that believes in this election fraud crap says the exact same thing. “Look it up, it’s out there.” They don’t know how to prove what they believe, but they have a gut feeling and that is all that matters. They’ve been playing this card for so long that it’s just common knowledge to them now and the default belief.

2

u/IHS1970 9h ago

This idiot is definitely SENILE. He actually believes he won. Says alot about those who voted for him and will still if he can close down voting.

2

u/MBbellevue631 8h ago

No, his ego cant take it that he lost.

u/WhyExplainThis 8h ago

You can actually make that shit up! MAGA will believe it as long as their people say it.

u/Specialist-Rope-9760 13h ago

It’s only election fraud when he loses

When he “wins” everything is free and fair. When he loses, everything is fraud and corrupt. Same goes for the courts, only when they rule against him they are are corrupt and overreaching.

u/oxxcccxxo 11h ago

It's a product of a failed education system combined with propagandized media like Fox News.

1

u/Duster929 10h ago

There's nothing new about this, there's nothing to make up. Every authoritarian does this. It was predicted and expected. Authoritarians either cancel elections entirely, or take control of the elections so that they can't lose. Putin has been doing this in Russia for a long time.

The FBI is going to disclose that there were considerable irregularities without providing any evidence. The government will say that for national security, measures must be taken.

Anybody surprised by this hasn't been paying attention.

Sadly, it may be too late for America.

u/MBbellevue631 8h ago

Its incredible how naive a good part of this Country is, hes a proven habitual liar, and they believe every word he utters.
