      He’s saying to take over elections in 15 states specifically, so Republican states will be left alone, sounds good to them…

    “Republicans ought to nationalize the voting,” Trump told former deputy FBI director and conservative commentator Dan Bongino on his radio show on Monday. “We have states that I won that show I didn’t win. …"

    This shows how he thinks. He has no evidence he won, and cannot have evidence because he didn’t win. But a mind like Trump’s makes no distinction between what he wants the truth to be and what is the truth. There’s no room at all for the notion of being wrong, or the idea that you might need to find out the truth. If it would serve you for something to be true, then it is true. This is a deeply broken mind.

    There are still many unanswered questions about the Georgia raid, such as why a criminal investigation has been opened into an election that took place six years ago and was audited three times

          Not pics but a smoking fart. From January 29:

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_6kGluvINg

          There’s a small but audible fart around :33, and what some maintain is a squelchy sound around :44, but pay attention to the faces and positions of the people behind him, esp Ms. Green Jacket and Bobby Brainworm, and then the sudden immediacy with which the reporters are herded out. “Thank you! Thank you everyone! Thank you!” But keep your eyes on the two behind him: Bobby’s making some remark to her about it and she appears to want to use her folder to fan the air but is stopping herself until the reporters are out.

          Also, enjoy the comments, lol.

    President Trump called on Republicans “to take over the voting in at least 15 places” in advance of the next election

    Yeah, that can’t happen. We’re going to have to stop them. Volunteer to be a poll worker, especially if you happen to live in any of these “15 places.” This article doesn’t say specifically which places these are, but I think it’s safe to assume they are important swing districts.

      They won’t need to do anything but put ICE outside the polls in non white neighborhoods. They will do this anywhere they can to intimidate voters. Enough people will not go vote just because of their presence there.

        Then we show up and put ourselves between the polls and ICE.

          I don’t disagree. I like that spirit. I’m just telling you the reality that unless ICE (or “election integrity enforcement” or whatever they end up calling it) is not present AT ALL than there will be significantly less voter turnout.

          They will also use any organized resistance as a reason to “recount” the votes in that area.

          I’m not saying this to be a Doomer. I’m saying this so people prepare. There is no scenario in which the upcoming election is free and fair. We need to be preparing state and local level resistance. A unified and state armed multi state coalition. If the blue state politicians don’t move on this. Well, we need to start considering that our state governments are not taking the threat seriously and accept what needs to be done to form a real resistance. ICE will not leave because we brought signs. Alex Pretti had the right idea. But we need the organization of an actual state government to do that.

            That’s what they want. The fascists want us to give them a reason to escalate, because escalation will ensure that people stay away from the polls. We need to be organized, we need to be unified and we need to form a real resistance, but we also need to be smart, and that means NOT giving the fascists exactly what they’re hoping for.

            ICE will not leave because we brought signs.

            Signs don’t threaten them, that’s true, and that’s exactly the point. They want us to threaten them, because then they can escalate. We need to be smart. That doesn’t mean we need to be ineffectual or passive, it means we need to be very careful about how we proceed.

              Have you not been paying any attention?

              THEY FUCKING ESCALATE WITHOUT AN EXCUSE ALL THE TIME.

              Where is this bullshit “oh guys let’s not agitate them it might make it worse”

              THERE’S NOT MUCH WORSE THAN LOSING FREE ELECTIONS

              ESCALATE. FIGHT. FUCK THEM.

                No. That’s exactly what they want. They want us to give them a reason to escalate. If they escalate anyway, then they expose themselves as the violent fascists that they are. That’s important. Public perception does matter.

      Absolutely agree - many states also pay their poll workers for their time and efforts, I am in a swing state and have served multiple elections since 2020 and yes the shift is a long one but it is very rewarding.

          Oh no, a post title.

          If they were canceling elections why haven’t they started yet?

          Republicans now have a one vote margin in the House thanks to Democrats winning regular and special elections over the last year.

          Democrats have flipped 20% of Republican seats, Republicans have flipped none.

          We’ve been seeing an unprecedented slide to the left in elections over and over in 2025, including one in Texas over the weekend that went D+14 and just two years ago was a solid Trump district at R+17. That’s a 31 point shift to the left. In Texas.

          There have been dozens of shifts of that magnitude.

          Not to mention the several Democratic governors and AGs that have been elected - and those are the ones who challenge the administration in court (and have been winning most of those challenges by the way).

          Elections have consequences, and they know that too. If they were going to mess with them they would and should have done so already.

              Of course they will. It’s called voter suppression, and it’s been happening in this country since we’ve been a country. Welcome to America.

      They’re likely right.

      Midterms are going to hit the Republicans hard, they barely have a majority as it stands.

        Only if the take over isn’t a take over. Why else would he do it?

        How many peoples lives will it take? How many red flags is needed?
