Even as he cast ballots by mail himself and launched messaging campaigns encouraging his supporters to do the same, Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to eliminate mail-in voting altogether, baselessly casting doubt on the legitimacy of mail-in votes.
Now he appears to be calling for the end of all forms of early voting.
After publicly demanding the prosecution of his political enemies, Trump encouraged the Department of Justice to investigate the outcome of the 2020 presidential election with “gusto” — and signaled that the “biggest SCANDAL in American history” will “happen again” unless the government eliminates early voting.
Being against having many options to let your vote be heard is very anti-American.
So super on-brand for Trump
And many/most Republicans. Gerrymandering, limited voting areas, and intimidation at the poll are standard tactics to try and reduce people who might vote against them.
To be fair, Democrats have gerrymandered in history as well. District lines should be an independent determination, not by who is currently in control of a state government.
That’s called Canada.
We also let criminals vote, and even set up polls inside prison for them because they’re (mostly) still citizens.
GOP gerrymandering is so severe to the point it eclipses dem states, plus they have numbers on thier side, the amount of states going to gop outstrips blue ones(also for senator positions)
I’ve talked to enough republicans to understand their problem with the 2 party system is that there’s too many parties.
republicans actually only want 1 party, thier party.
GOP loses when Dem voters show up.
Traditionally, the wisdom has been that non-voters lean left, so increasing turnout overall tended to benefit Dems. At least one Pew Research poll found that people who were eligible to vote but didn’t were slightly more likely to have voted for Trump (44%) than Harris (40%).
That said, yes, what we need is for Dem voters to definitely vote! (not sarcasm)
This is the level of stupidity we need to be at to get the brainwashed masses to understand what he’s actually doing. Yes, Trump, your messiah, is anti-American and pro billionaires. He doesn’t care about babies or you.
“Yah, but do I get to own the libz?”
