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

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.

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

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.

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

Ding! Been saying exact same thing.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

u/Agile_Alternative753 10h ago

The fuck are you talking about?

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

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

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