Why I am learning this form Lemmy and nowhere else
And where are democrats screenings and making this a big deal?
People need to look Hungary and understand to protect democracy everyone need to have a united front, even if it’s not the perfect candidate only with everyone using their right to vote, they can make their voice to be heard
And where are democrats screenings and making this a big deal?
Trump actually (probably accidentally) made a masterful play in 2020. Democrats spent 4 years shutting down his insane-sounding claims that the election was stolen, and the ‘The election was stolen’ rhetoric became so synonymous with crazy that they couldn’t even question the results in 2024 despite obvious interference, and I think it’s still keeping them from putting up a fight over it now. They’re afraid that all of the republicans will just throw everything they said in 2020 right back at them, as if this situation is even remotely the same thing, and that it will make them look like the crazy ones.
Pretty much this. Though it wasn’t a play by Trump, it was just how it played out.
These midterms are going to be ugly as fuck.
I’m genuinely scared for the first time in my life for what will happen between August and January 2027. This will be the darkest period of our country in any of our lifetimes, and that’s saying something.
…yeahhh…
:(
The absolute worst time will be November to January when the outgoing Republicans have nothing to lose since they were just wiped in the midterms.
If we can make it to that point I’ll be relieved. I’m expecting Trump and Miller to do a few things all at once:
-
Send in ICE goons to prevent people from voting in many Democratic places
-
Stage some false flag terrorist attacks at polling places or counting stations as a pretext to seize voting machines/ballots
-
Work with Musk and Thiel to sabotage the systems themselves (much like Musk did in 2024, I’m not saying it’s a 100% fact but there has been enough fuckery to do hand recounts)
-
Use the war (pick any war, maybe a new one by that point) to cancel elections all together and even though Democratic states will hold elections, Republican states will not, so he’ll have SCOTUS rule it an incomplete election and therefore invalid or something
-
???: Some other completely batshit insane thing that I’m not evil enough or too sober to come up with.
I think you’ve got the nail on the head here. At first glance this is an outlandish list of scenarios. But to anyone whose paying attention to the news and can read between the lines, all of these bullet points are alarmingly viable.
