Weird, I was sold almost the exact same line in 2020.
It’s almost like the same totalitarian is running on the GOP ticket.
You don't remember January 6th?
You mean you are on Lemmy and haven't heard of Project 2025? Brother. You have some reading to do.
It's almost like he already won in 2016 and lo and behold, we can still vote again 4 years later.
It wasn't for lack of him trying though
Exactly. Ballots were literally thrown out and mail in ballots were attempted to be done away with entirely.
This is so dumb. He didn't try to not let people vote. Every loser every year claims recounts are needed, they just usually don't use the system to try and prove it. He's using the system to try and prove it. The system is there for a reason
Stop trying to claim he's stopping people from voting.
He claimed 3 million illegal votes during an election he won. 3 million... then what did he do once becoming president after an accusation of the largest voter fraud claim for a democracy in history? Nothing. Barely mentioned it. No enormous investigation to arrest the thousands of people that would have needed to be involved to coordinate 3 million illegal votes. Nothing. Why? Because it was just something for him to say off the cuff. He took a page from his hero Roy Cohn to just declare victory even when defeated. Lose a case? Just claim victory. Lose a popular vote count? Just claim victory. He has done it all his life and doesn't care how easily it is for some people to believe his off-the-cuff lies even when they can threaten democracy itself. He will never concede a loss and doesn't care who it hurts. He will also never have the evidence for his claims because he doesn't need any.
You mustn't have paid any attention to his barrage of executive orders and insanely corrupt appointments. The Supreme Court nominations alone are more than eyebrow raising.
2016 was their learning period.
