Lil Mike needs some knee pads and jaw ointment for the work he’s doing.

    Remember, its only election fraud if a republican loses.

    its only fraud if trump gets less votes than he wanted.

    even if its on the same ballot, if 12 republicans win on the ballot, and 1 democrat wins… Its only the democrat win thats fraudulent, not the entire ballot. not the republican votes.

    Republican votes are never fraudulent, especially when they are.

    You don’t magically get to remain an elected official after your term is up if you don’t win an election.

    Well, at least maybe after November, people will stop thinking this is going to end in 2029. I’ve been so frustrated people saying things like “it’s only for four years” “I’m looking forward to when he’s out of power” “maybe I’ll visit the states in 2029”

      Midterms are more than half a year away and they already start normalizing the narrative of the next ‘big steal’. Until November they will have convinced their base that a democrat win would solely be based of the Reps not being allowed to cheat the election (which is somewhat true but you know how they’ll mean it).

      Good luck hoping for the outcome to be an non-violent end of Trumps presidency.

        It’s really easy for Republicans to make this argument as well.

        How can libs win elections when you don’t know any?

        This makes a lot of sense to some guy from Kansas. Everyone he knows loves Trump, so how can Trump lose? I hear this from a lot of relatives.

        Hitler didn’t have nukes and the most powerful military in the world, so I can’t blame them for being reluctant. Plus, most other countries have their own surge of far-right parties to deal with.

    Why does it seem like everyone forgot that he already tried to rig the elections on Jan 6? Democracy officially died on January 20, 2025, and we were screaming from the rooftops that it was going to die if Trump were reelected. But Trump is just a symptom of a larger issue.

    The real rot in our system has been here since the founding of the country. The founding fathers chose capitalism as the form of economics, and what they didn’t realize (or maybe did) was that they were just replacing one king with another. They explicitly allowed people who seek power to continue to be allowed to have power over others. Regardless of how much it is or isn’t regulated, it will always lead back to the same road. Call it monarchy, oligarchy, fascism, dictatorship, authoritarianism, or whatever else you want, but this is the road that we travel down whenever we allow rulers in society.

    The only way to fix this forever is to not allow rulers in society. Anything short of that will lead us right back here.

      This is a perfect comment because it describes exactly what happened (from their perspective) in the most succinct way possible. 💯

      None of it is a joke. If Americans treated it seriously when it all first started, we wouldn’t be here right now. It’s a fascist coup wrapped in the American flag, always has been.

      But saying it doesn’t seem to motive people to do what’s necessary to oppose it. Those words have been overused and misused to the point of being completely ineffective to communicate the seriousness of what’s happening. It’s a five alarm fire and ppl are just going to work and doin their hobbies and acting like this is someone else’s problem to fix. Which is exactly what the political class has taught us for decades, don’t engage, don’t participate, don’t think to be actively involved in your own governance, don’t have any power of influence, just vote every couple years and then fuck off back to your wage slave lives.

        You know full well that it’s just a figure of speech. Don’t be deliberately obtuse. It is a joke of a government.

          It’s as serious a government as America has ever had. Incompetent, corrupt, abusive, cruel, ignorant, arrogant, elitist, racist, narcissistic, but also very, very serious. Humor has a way of disconnecting us from the seriousness of things and I’m guessing that’s why you characterize it as a joke. It may be a figure of speech but you using it says something about you that I’m going to take seriously.

    “It just looks on its face to be fraudulent, because we didn’t win. Of course we win, we always win because we say so. Any loss is fake. There is only the Republican party. If you don’t love the one party state you don’t love freedom.”

    “It just looks on its face to be fraudulent.”

    “Can I prove that? No, because it happened so far upstream,” Johnson added.
