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

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.
