Donald Trump announced Sunday that Republicans plan to dispense a large “Election Integrity Army” to every single state for the 2026 midterms – invoking his debunked claims that the United States does not have fair elections. In a message on his Truth Social platform the president appeared to attribute his “Historic Election in 2024” to the fact that the Republican National Committee sent thousands of volunteers across the country to poll watch or assist with election litigation through a volunteer program. “During my Historic Election in 2024, when I won every single Swing State, and decisively won both the Electoral and Popular votes by wide margins, the Republicans had an Election Integrity Army in every single State to preserve the sanctity of each legal vote. We will be doing the same again in 2026, but it will be much bigger and stronger,” Trump wrote. Trump did not elaborate on who would be part of the “Election Integrity Army” or how large it would be.

    They are still insisting that they are in the right.

    I say that a movement that can’t be bothered to vote, or even spoil its ballot, is not credible in doing the higher order civil disobedience.

      They literally expect people to fight a civil war against the Republicans, then they expect to have a seat at the table in the restructuring of the government.

      They are literally the reason this shit is happening. Fuck the Idle Left. They do nothing but complain.

        You are very good at typing not-particularly-true-things that divide those who should be opposed to the current regime. Also using vague language where you’re talking about a tiny fraction of the population but you make it sound so much grander while retaining deniability. Does the GOP pay you, or do you do it for love of the game?

          Spare me that nonsense. You see people on her all the damned time talking about not voting (proud of this fact), and they refuse to participate in our democracy. This same exact group of people think that somehow, they will be part of the conversation in recreating the country after a conflict happens.

      Of course they are. They’re petulant children.
