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.
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.
