When a wannabe dictator says and does wannabe dictator things, you should probably believe him. He's telling you what he wants to do, every single day.
Everything is fine CCorn. Hey, just stay home on 11/4 and enjoy your family and comfortable and safe existence.
Alito in his opinion stated the danger and uncertainty of changing the electors. Kavanaugh in his opinion also said doing so would lead to chaos and that court shouldn't facilitate it.
Of course but not everythign he says is likely to happen. If he did we would actually have a wall along the Southern Border. I mean if Trump said we're just not going to have an election and he is President for life would you take that seriously and think that was a likely to happen?
He has already said this and encouraged his followers to take up arms against the political opposition, and they have.
I am not concerned about Trump swapping electors, there are far easier and more effective ways for him to remain in power. I will just say this....... you bring up Alito and Kavanaugh...... and we all keep saying "well they will stop this, they won't cross this line", and the lines keep getting crossed, and I start to wonder, is there ever really a point where enough IS enough or do people like Romney or Kavanaugh or Rubio just keep taking a step back every time the line moves, and before you know it they are in a corner. This is the first time since Lincoln where there is genuine concern that the election will be fraudulent...... that was in the middle of a Civil War.... Let's say on November 4th....... the results show that Donald Trump has won...... Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Florida..... and that the Republicans remain the majority in the Senate. Will you believe they are valid? Will you trust that Americans really want and voted for Trump? What if the election comes down to Pennsylvania, and they claim Trump won the state by 5,000 votes....... will you believe it?
I would be extremely concerned. If the President of the USA, who already has a history of dishonest dealings came out and said that there will be no election and that he is President for life......... I would be looking for flights to Ireland immediately. Trump has the Senate, he has the Supreme Court, he has the Justice Department.
I myself have stated that Trump will do everything he can to stay in power including what thread is about. I myself have also stated I do think fraud and other shenanigans arent't just likely but are already happening. I am speaking specifically about the idea that Trump and his supporters will successfully change electors.
I'm going to note Trump has already said similar things. Obviously not a Trump fan but not everything he says is a certainty of happening. In fact little he says is a certainty of happening.
I've already started looking at my options if Trump comes out of this still in power. I've pretty much narrowed it down to four choices: Canada (closeness), UK (family), Germany (wife's family), or New Zealand (#1 on the Freedom scale). I've got enough IT experience/skills to help me land in any of the countries on a work visa, but I'm definitely out. Democracy and freedom can't survive another 4 years of Trump. We'll basically become what Russia has become...not my cup of tea.
Well, I guess it's a good thing I can speak Spanish fairly well. I'd mention Portuguese but I'd have to learn the continental accent and grammar to live in Europe because moving from Trump to Brazil's Buttholenaro would be muito ruim, rapaz.
If he encourages his followers to respond violently - and he has 100 million followers - how does the math work out when there's only 1% of those people actually listening and following through?
More often than not, when Democrats are breathlessly accusing Republicans of future hypothetical misdeeds, they themselves are committing the very crimes that they are accusing the Republicans of hypothetically committing in the future. But the best defense against the Democrats' crimes being exposed is to have all of the fingers pointed (erroneously) at the Republicans... and to have the TV media + Print media + Social Media amplify the story. Aaaaand true to form, that's exactly the point of Sam's thread... Democrats are planning on implementing mass voter fraud through vote-by-mail and ballot harvesting. The best defense is a good offense, so let's blame Republicans for electoral violations! Don't believe me? Look at Russia Russia Russia. The Obama Administration colluded with foreign intelligence agencies to frame the Trump administration.... in an attempt to swing the election, neuter Trump's effectiveness in office, and ultimately remove Trump. But instead of punishing the Obama Administration's bad actors, the finger was pointed at Trump (falsely) for colluding with Russia (never happened and he was exonerated after 2+ years). Look at "Impeachment". The House and bad actors in the government agencies accused Trump of a quid pro quo with Ukraine (never happened) when Joe Biden's own son was taking in millions from Russia and Ukraine and apparently spending it on prostitutes and human trafficking. Now you know. Liberals like Sam have no moral core and will lie and misdirect to deceive you as a way to hide their own malfeasance. Don't be gullible and eat it up like fools.
