Speaking at a campaign event in Iowa, Trump said it was important to scrutinize the vote in the battleground states likely to determine the general election. He singled out the biggest cities in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.
“So the most important part of what’s coming up is to guard the vote. And you should go into Detroit and you should go into Philadelphia and you should go into some of these places, Atlanta,” Trump said in Ankeny, a suburb of Des Moines.
Trump’s comments foreshadow what is likely to be a contentious election in November 2024. Despite the failure of dozens of lawsuits filed by Trump and his allies challenging the outcome in 2020, Trump continues to claim, without evidence, that he lost to U.S. President Joe Biden due to fraud.
I’ve been a poll watcher in PA a bunch of times. I welcome any Trumpies to join me. It’s really not that exciting lol
Depends on your state’s laws. But peaceful dudes in red caps are not what people are worried about. They are groups of aggressive people, potentially visibly armed, near to polling places or mail-in boxes that will scare voters away. If you have to walk past a line of lifted pick-up trucks, all with huge Trump flags in the backed, filled with angry redcaps with assault rifles, you might rethink voting. Which is the goal of the facists.
Sure, but I’m talking about the legal way we “guard the vote”. It’s incredibly effective and not super exciting.
You think they care about legality? They’re a gang.
They are not a gang. They are a cult. It is an important distinction.
Is it? What is a violent cult? What is a gang that worships a single person?
I get what you mean,and agree if I’m being honest. I’m just curious of the distinction at this point!
Or it might make me want to vote against their asshole lord and savior even more resolutely than I already do.
It’s a fight or flight response. Not everyone would be willing to fight. Glad you would be though. But if enough intimidation happens, They might just scare away enough people to change the vote.
I’ll be there. And I will be armed as well. If it’s a bloodbath that ends in my extinction? So be it. I will not stand for such a scenario as you describe.
Struggling to live with myself after 01/06 as is. Give me a chance to fight back? I’m all in.
You’re missing the point. Trump’s calling on th to show up with guns and intimate minority voters
look, I know, you find annoying them with pictures of fake grand kids amusing… but really… could you at least maybe make the stories more interesting, since, you know. it’s gonna be slow…
asking for everyone else.
I think I missed the joke?
you ever get stuck sitting next to a very friendly old lady whose got about thirty pictures of her grand kids, and insists on telling you everything about what happened the day they were taken?
I’m proposing torturing the trumpian poll watchers with such… as a for of entertainment, because poll watching is really boring. Like. watching paint dry boring.
I missed it too, but I think I want to start showing people pics of my “grandkids”. Maybe get some hyper realistic ai pics and backstory…
I just want to watch people get confused and try to do the math while also trying to figure out how old I am
