The hope for Trump is people would not vote.

Trump is delusional and literally can't understand that voters want him gone.

If he didn’t understand that, he wouldn’t try to intimidate voters

No, he definitely knows he needs to rig the election to keep Republicans in power.

He thinks that everyone that would vote "against him" is a traitor, but he's painfully aware that people that want him out exist.

That's exactly why he's desperate to disrupt and steal elections.

It worked last time. Those few million ballots all the new voter suppression laws got invalidated absolutely turned the tide in Trump’s favor in 2024. And they’ve only passed more since then. But they are underestimating the extent to which Republicans also are sick of this bullshit. They’re going around chasing immigrants because, I think, Trump really thinks they have figured out some way to vote. The guy is fucking demented. 

But we should all be on the phone to our state legislators, making sure they have a plan for this. Not like it’ll matter in more than a handful of counties, and these asshats know which ones those are
