    Calling it now:

    Trump will deploy ICE to voting facilities in November to mass arrest voters, and confiscate ballot boxes.

    US democracy is objectively gone.

      They don’t even need to go to such measures. Just harassing everyone in line who is a woman or looks like they might vote Democrat will disenfranchise enough voters to keep their edge.

      I also think Elon rigged the electronic voting machines and is going to do it again. Call me a conspiracy theorist but with weird anomalies in close districts that used those machines, a bizarre increase in bullet ballots, Trump accusing everyone else of rigging the election (if everything else he says is projection, why not this?) and Trump literally Freudian slipoing and saying he stole the election multiple times.

        Additionally: Another reason he wants mail in ballots gone - to easy to trace back what people actually voted for, besides the gerrymandering aspect.

        With the machine it’s far harder to proof fraud.

        You know whats crazy is how much shit that trump has done during his time as president - how outrageous and what-the-fuckness of it all and some how we have to believe that he didn’t even attempt to try to rig the election? That the statement you made is just too crazy and out there for it to be real. That you had to call out that you may be living in crazy land conspiracy theory land just in case.

        I don’t think it’s in any way crazy to believe that with all the other shit that he has done, including leading an insurrection against this country. I’m with you I think he did indeed rig the election with the help of musk and others and I’m not going to apologize about that belief.

      Extra easy because the whole FPTP system has been carefully designed over the decades so that only a small handful of areas decide the election. Just declare another national emergency saying that illegals are planning to infiltrate the election, mass deployment of ICE thugs snatching citizens from voting queues, job done.
