Do you think Trump plans on stealing the midterms for the Republicans?

[kentuck]

If so, how do you think he will try to do it?

Would we assume that the Republicans are in on the "steal"?

Can he affect the election enough by attempting to brand Democrats as "communists"? Will that suppress Democrats and increase turnout for Republicans? I doubt it, but if there is enough repetition and FOX News stays on the "communists" story every day, who knows?

He is desperate and the Republicans are desperate to win the next election.

What do you think is their plan?

[SuzyandPuffpuff]

1. No doubt

Prepare for a fight it's gonna get ugly ... yipes

[Ocelot II]

2. He will try - that's obvious.

But "the midterms" aren't a single election; they are 50 of them, all controlled at state and local levels with different rules. That's why "election-stealing" in the US is so difficult. He and the GOP can try to influence elections in various states with false advertising and other shenanigans, and Democrats everywhere need to be ready for all forms of ratfucking which will certainly occur.

[OhioBack2Blue]

53. Yes but they have a GOLIATH of an army of attack ants and we have David (Mark Elias).

The subversion within the Democratic party was part of the plan and we have yet to deal with it so it still impacts everything we do.

[Scrivener7]

3. Yes. But I don't know how. I sincerely hope someone does.

[spanone]

4. Is the Pope from Chicago?

Of course he is.

[dweller]

5. I know

Let’s ask elon … he has that app that gives him early results , maybe he has them already




✌🏻

[kentuck]

7. Is he using his hundreds of communication satellites to intercept the results of the elections?

How would he do that?

[struggle4progress]

6. On the one hand, he'll try to steal anything that's not nailed down

On the other hand, he has a really short attention span (except when it comes to a limited number of his pet obsessions)

Again, on the one hand, he's surrounded by a gang of brown-nosers also trying to steal anything that's not nailed down

But on the other hand, he's uninformed and uninterested in learning, and he's as dumb as a box of hammers

It's like when the elementary school delinquents figure out how to start the bull-dozer. On the one hnad, how much damage could they do? On the other hand, how much damage could they really do?

[kentuck]

8. He did tell his supporters that they would not have to vote again...

...when they voted in the last election? Why did he say that?

[struggle4progress]

10. I'm taking the PoV that if I understood his thinking on anything, I'd be crazy too

Our task isn't to abstractly understand these people. It's to send them on their way to wherever they belong

... They claim our possessions — the pitiful knaves —
The tribute we pay, shall be prisons and graves ...

[GoodRaisin]

23. Simple. Because he's never planned to leave.

[Walleye]

11. The midterm, elections and voting, are way too complicated for these-simple minded ones to understand

[struggle4progress]

19. I'm just gonna stop pretending I know and concentrate on trying to do what I gotta do

[gab13by13]

9. Election denier, Puhlte

is now in charge of US intelligence, of course they will try to steal the election again.

[kentuck]

14. Yes, I do think they will show up at the polls on election day...

...and try to intimidate voters.

[Bobstandard]

27. Worse. They'll interfere with election officials and workers

As we get closer they’ll threaten, harass, and even arrest a few show-cases.

We all need to plan to fight to get our ballots counted. Schedule a few days off in case we need to take to the streets.

[ImNotGod]

12. The entire fascist regime, fed and red states will be pulling all kinds of dirty tricks nt

[themaguffin]

13. There will be fuckery for sure, but it's not easy for them since states control the elections and

many states will not indulge him. Some may, but it could also backfire on them.

[Bobstandard]

28. It only takes a handful of battle ground states.

[themaguffin]

36. Still not easy for them...

It's a long thread a good read

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

[MiHale]

15. Yep, he's has to ...threat of impeachment too real...

There is so much corruption to bring charges on and since it’s not a court appeals and delays would be a moot point. So much of his criming would be bared, it’d destroy him.

He has to hope the republicans take both houses.

The commie threat has been played out.(I sincerely hope).
Too many people on all sides are truly pissed off at the MAGA regime. I believe it’s going to be a record turnout for midterms.

[EdmondDantes_]

16. No because it's not possible to steal by changing votes

If it was, why have Republicans done so poorly this year? Why are Republicans gerrymandering and why does Trump want to make it harder for women and minorities vote if he can just push a button?

[LR3]

17. Of course he will try

To me the clearest method is one that they've already been using to great success, but turned up to 11, which is denying people who attempt to cast votes.

They've successfully removed millions of the "wrong" people from voter roles, and in Georgia went so far as to allow challenges to voters on the flimsiest of pre-texts resulting in 10's of thousands of very strategically selected voters having their votes discarded after having voted, in most cases without ever being notified of the fact.

THIS is why Trump wants every state's voter rolls--so they can select voters to disenfranchise.

[awesomerwb1]

18. Without a doubt

Guaranteed. This is the last stand.

[kentuck]

20. I think this is why he is so focused on the SAVE Act and accusations against Democrats...

...of trying to steal elections.

Because he always does what he accuses others of doing.

[ananda]

21. Well, Republicans have stolen every election since Florida 2000.

And used very dirty tricks since Reagan.

[Omnipresent]

22. They should hold a midterm convention.

That will be a great way to remind voters of all their wonderful accomplishments!

[Sneederbunk]

25. They are, in Texas.

[mcar]

24. He'll try. That's why Democrats need to vote in record numbers

AND not get bogged down in internecine fighting about who's the most pure.

I heard on Stephanie Miller's show today that some on the far left are attacking AOC because she supports Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker. This is the kind of crap we do not need.

[biophile]

26. No

He won’t try to steal the election for Republicans- he’s only going to try to steal the election for himself. He just needs the Republicans to win so he doesn’t get impeached and go to jail.
yes he will definitely f*ck with the election but only because his skin is on the line

[Bobstandard]

30. This!

[City Lights]

29. Yes, he will definitely try.

And based on how Republicans are acting - they don't seem to care what the public thinks on ANY topic - they seem to think he will be successful.

I have no idea if they'll be successful. They will use a combination of voter suppression and intimidation at the polls, for sure, combined with all kids of negative ads. And I suspect the Musk boy will be in this up to his neck.

I'm nervous.

[hamsterjill]

31. I think it's going to be interesting to see if he starts hanging around with Musk more as the election gets closer.

They haven't seemed to be as "chummy" of late as they were during the 2024 election. I know they have been to several of the same social events, so they aren't completely out of touch.

I think it will be very telling if Musk re-emerges as someone taking an unusual interest in the election(s).

Trump, et al will definitely try to cheat any way that they can. That's a given. All the while, he'll be accusing Dems of doing the cheating. Same song, verse three hundred and twenty-five.

I don't know what the plan is, but I put nothing past them. I am still not convinced that he won fairly in 2024, and probably never will be.

[Chasstev365]

32. DO NOT VOTE ON TOUCH SCREEN VOTING MACHINES!

Why do you think Dime-Store Mussolini doesn't want paper ballots?

Vote absentee and deliver your ballot in person!

[Blue Owl]

33. That's all he does is lie, cheat, and steal....

Oh yah, and FUCK DEFENSELESS LITTLE KIDS before KILLING or EATING them.

God damn that fucking wretch to the bowels of brimstone.

How is our country being led by this depraved, homicidal maniac???

America, what is your major malfunction???

[BeneteauBum]

34. Continue with subversive rhetoric......

Let’s hope that voting doesn’t devolve into suppression by force……though it’s possible that tRump would attempt to push that far. He is desperate enough……

Peace ☮️

[Wounded Bear]

35. Not sure if he cares if repubs win, but he'll for sure be trying shit as practice for '28...nt

[kairos12]

37. Given what he did on 6 January

you can count on him trying to steal the election. Failing that, he will spend 2 years discrediting them and continue to poison the electorate.

[Rebl2]

38. He and they

will try. Hopefully not successful.

[GiqueCee]

39. He'll target the swing states...

... if he can convince Musk to do it again. Theil's hiding out down in South America now, so he might not help.

I would say, of course the Republicans are in on it; just listen to "Moses" Johnson. And if there were any who were disinclined to steal an election, they wouldn't even BE Republicans; they'd be kicked out of the party!

The whole "Commie" thing is pitifully ridiculous. Remember how many of those MAGA dipshits wore T-shirts saying, "I'D RATHER BE A RUSSIAN THAN A DEMOCRAT!" It'll take some serious pretzel logic to get around that!

DESPERATE is the word, alright. And a cornered animal is dangerous in the extreme. A rabid hyena would be more circumspect than Trump; he'll try anything, up to, and including, mass murder, and he'd blame it on Biden.

The question is: How much more of his psychotic bullshit will rank-and-file Republicans put up with, knowing that he's going to cost them the election? Even the stupidest of them have some sense of self-preservation, ain't that right, Tuberville?

[Initech]

40. No doubt the Heritage Foundation has a plan.

Fuck them to hell.

[SergeStorms]

45. Yeah....

they hardly ever leave anything to the voters. They have billions of dollars in reserve, and can just about buy anyone they want.
If they run across someone who can't be bought there's always Trump's "enforcers," who run the gamut from Proud Boys to ICE and FBI agents, and everything in-between.

I don't foresee a fair and free election, let's put it that way.

[Initech]

47. And anyone who doesn't comply or has independent thoughts gets replaced with an ass kissing bootlicker.

Ask Liz Cheney how well standing up to the Heritage cult went.

[SergeStorms]

49. They are a dangerous bunch.

Trump often talks of "treason." You need to look no further than that pack of jackals.

[Initech]

50. Trump 47 is the world's largest political scandal.

And it's unfolding in real time on network television with the entire GOP supporting it. All of these criminals must face justice for the absolute hell they have wrought on our country.

[Just Jerome]

41. Rethugs

have had an effective voter suppression infrastructure for years. I've heard rumors of interstate cross-check being revived, and the placement of icethugs at polling places is just a replay of operation eagle eyes. All illegal, of course, but what's that matter?

[LuvLoogie]

42. Musk ,Thiel, Altman, Zuckerberg, trump don't have any less access to the infrastructure.

Snowden sold out Anonymous in 2013. They may have had a hand in thwarting the man in the middle in 2012. Putin got a lot of data in exchange for asylum. The Dems do not have anyone in surveillance tech.

Local law enforcement is full of fascists who are all in with this administration and its corporate allies.

They will do everything from rig machines, counts, voter intimidation, refuse to seat the dems that do get through.

The Dems will not pressure the media to challenge this environment.

People are going to have to actively resist this regime. They are not going to leave it to politics.

[kentuck]

43. When all else fails, we know he is not beyond resorting to violence...

Just as he did on January 6th, 2021.

He will find some way to declare a national emergency and put his armed goons into designated polling places is a possibility.

But, he will incite violence to get the end result he wants.

[SergeStorms]

44. Without question.

His "social media" buddies, Zuck, Eloon etc. will assist, along with Putin and his army of hackers. Then there's local "officials" who'll put their thumbs on the scale, not to mention possible ICE intimidation.

And how can we omit the Extreme Court? They've already thrown in for Shit-stain 47.

If Democrats take Congress back it'll be the upset of all upsets.

Remember, elections are only fair if they win.

[11 Bravo]

46. Rhetorical question?

[Skittles]

48. they cannot run on their shitty policies

and whaddaya know, which bathroom a trans person uses becomes much less an effective red meat "issue" for the ignorant base when they're having a hard time paying the bills

YES the greedy old pig party will try to steal, right now it is THEIR ONLY OPTION

[Easterncedar]

51. They own Dominion now

That should help

[DFW]

52. If they CAN, they WILL

I’m hoping our turnout will be bigger than their ability to negate it.

If we ever have solid control of both houses and the White House again, I want a law requiring a 30 year mandatory jail sentence for election tampering, as well as falsely accusing someone else of doing it.

[waterwatcher123]

54. The theft is underway now (redistricting, voter purges, USPS plans, ...).
