With Trump’s help, Republicans across the country are sowing doubt about next year’s congressional elections—and gearing up for 2028.
Special elections in Florida and Wisconsin have suggested that voters are already fed up with the Trump administration and point to the possibility that the 2026 midterms could be a blue wave. As Trump’s failures continue to mount, Republicans have good reason to fear a backlash.
Perhaps this explains why Trump is intent on bolstering the election denial movement, which has lately notched a number of key victories. On March 25, the president signed Executive Order #14248, “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” which neither preserves nor protects our elections but rather undermines them.
It is a clarion call to Republicans throughout the nation, who are being encouraged to question the legitimacy of any election loss and ultimately establish a permanent electoral advantage by challenging and removing eligible voters from the rolls. Now, with Trump’s executive order, they have insurance: a way of tipping elections in their favor by choosing the voters rather than having the voters choose them.
So let me get this straight, Trump supposedly won the last election, and their response is that our elections can’t be trusted because they are rigged. So they’re basically saying the result of our last election wasn’t legitimate
Do not make the mistake of taking fascists at their word. They’re lying to you; like when they talk about being very concerned about the budget, but then turn around and blow money out of their ass to all of their pals and donors and on special vanity projects that benefit nobody. They’re bullshitters, almost all of them; you can tell the true believers, like Lindell, because they’re the ones that get thrown under the bus. They know the election wasn’t stolen, they just hope that you’ll take their bullshit in good faith.
The Card Says Moops is a great video that illustrates this principle.
Agreed. I’ve resolved to just call them liars to their face now. No sense in wasting the energy to reason with someone who doesn’t value reason. If there’s an audience, yes, I’ll reason for the face to reveal the lying but I owe a liar themselves nothing for the ground they stand on.
States should use new machines and not allow starlink connections if they want to have legit future elections
Trump said the 2016 election was rigged, and he won that one. He claimed that the 2024 election was rigged before it had even occurred. This is just the playbook. It doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t have to in order to work.
He has openly admitted the election was rigged several times, they’re saying they can’t be trusted because they can’t be trusted there’s just nothing we will be allowed to do about past rigged elections
They’ve been claiming it since 2016, repeating it over enough time and it just becomes normal to the public, even if it’s a lie. So when it actually happens, it just sounds like business as usual.
