Real big “some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make” energy here. I wonder if he’s just going all in on rigging the election so he’s not even trying to keep voters happy.
He did make exactly that claim during his campaign. “We’re gonna fix it so good you never have to vote again.”
Midterms are so difficult to rig that it would be impossible on a nationwide basis. All you can do is influence it with gerrymandering, and the kind of intimidation and suppression tactics they’ve been trying, which are hit & miss.
Presidential elections are much easier. You only have to rig one race in only seven states, and they proved they could do that in 2024.
That’s why there were millions of straight Democratic ballots, with Trump at the top, all concentrated in the swing states. Nobody votes that way, NOBODY. Yet the Dems declared the race “fair & square” on Election Night, as if the one election Trump needed to win to stay out of prison, was the one time in his entire life that he didn’t cheat.
They’ll get crushed in the next Midterm, but the 2028 Presidential Election is going to be a major problem. I expect he’ll try to do some sort of write-in campaign, then claim that so many people wrote his name in that it disqualifies the Constitution, and he will remain president, by popular demand.
I don’t think you comprehend the recon information gathering campaign they have undergone since 2016. DOGE and acquisition of voting machine companies by billionaires got them all they need to have some skids with AI slop rig at scale.
Then there’s the elephants in the room. Mail in voting, intimidation and marshall law.
I understand entirely. I’ve been studying this stuff closely ever since they stole the 2000 election.
The problem with rigging Congressional districts is that there are so many of them, all run by different people, in different regions of every state, that it becomes impossible to keep close enough track of them to 1) Pull off the crime, and them 2) Keep it quiet. With multiple people involved with each district, sooner or later you’ll have someone feel guilty, get arrested and want to cut a deal, change their political affiliation, get angry and want revenge, etc. With that many people, in that many districts, it would be impossible to keep it under wraps.
Presidential elections are much easier. You only have to flip one race in only seven swing states, a much easier assignment.
How many companies do you think make voting machines?
States use a variety of methods for voting, and not all use machines. Besides, all they need are two companies, and if one gets a bad rep, states will buy from the other one, so they both have to balance any temptation to cheat against their profits.
They bought both companies 🙄
See, how is that legal? JFC…
That’s why there were millions of straight Democratic ballots, with Trump at the top, all concentrated in the swing states. Nobody votes that way, NOBODY.
What do you mean by this?
I mean just what I said. There were MILLIONS of ballots that were straight Democratic tickets, except Trump as president, and they were concentrated in the Swing States. Obviously they hacked the machines, and flipped votes from Harris to Trump.
That’s how he won EVERY swing state, a statistical impossibility, AND the “popular vote,” the first time a Republican won it since Reagan in
19941984. They couldn’t even let Harris win a couple, just to make it look plausible. No, he had to go full dictator, and claim the ENTIRE country voted for him in a LANDSLIDE.Have you ever spoken to someone who voted all Democrat, except for Trump for president? Have you every seen one on TV? Since those people decided the entire race, why didn’t any media outlet collect a bunch together in a panel, and ask them to explain? Where are those people? Who are those people?
Show me ONE.
And yet Schmuck, Jeffries, and the DNC immediately declared the election “fair & square,” because they were far more interested in demonstrating to MAGA and the world what a “peaceful transition of power” looks like, as if we hadn’t seen that 45 times before. So we never had even the slightest interest in investigating the MANY reports of election improprieties in the 2024 election.
When this is over, and we are intensely investigating MAGA’s many crimes, we should also look into what the Dem leadership was up to, because it sure looks like they were cooperating with MAGA on many occasions, including the obvious rigging of the 2024 election.
Reagan was 1984, btw.
Thanks, corrected.
This is really interesting. Damn.
I feel he should have been instantly disqualified and imprisoned just for that phone call to Georgia where he’s like (paraphrased) “C’maaahn, guy, just get me some votes. Gimme some votes (or else), guyyy.”
But I know “Things this douche should have been thrown in the hole and forgotten for” is kinda a long dead horse at this point.

Absolutely! And if that wasn’t enough, we actually have the 14th AMENDMENT, that prohibits anyone who has participated in an Insurrection, from holding office, and yet not a single Democrat tried to invoke that amendment.
That would have kept Trump from ever holding office again, as well as numerous other MAGA traitors. It wouldn’t have been a controversy - he clearly planned and launched a violent Insurrection, and the 14th Amendment covered it perfectly. MAGA would scream, but that’s what they get for losing their Insurrection. If you shoot at the King, you best not miss.
Except they did miss, and instead crushing them for it, the Dems gave them a Mulligan - go ahead, take another shot at destroying America. If the Dems had shown any leadership at all, they could have easily, and legally, kept all MAGA traitors out of office, but they were too cowardly, as usual. MAGAs will use any law, policy, amendment etc., and manipulate it far beyond any reasonable expection, to get what they want, but Dems won’t even use the tools that our ancestors gave us to avoid exactly the situation we are in. If those composers of the 14 Amendment could see this, they would be so angry at 21st century Dems: “WHY DO YOU IDIOTS THINK WE PASSED THOSE FUCKING AMENDMENTS?”
Thanks for the additional explanations, I’m not from the US so I’m not too familiar with how voting works there.
I’m still not sure I understand what “straight Democratic tickets” mean. Is it people who only voted Democratic before and this was their first time voting Republican?
If that’s the case, I’d be interested to read more about this if there are some sources you know of. It sounds like pretty solid evidence for election rigging.
I’m still not sure I understand what “straight Democratic tickets” mean. Is it people who only voted Democratic before and this was their first time voting Republican?
No, it means they only vote for the candidates from their party.
Generally American voters are either Republican or Democrat (or Independent, like me), and they generally vote for all the candidates from their party. Not always, sometimes there’s a candidate from you party that you particularly hate for some reason, or a candidate from the other party that you like, but generally people vote for their own party. That’s a “straight party ticket.”
The ballot always includes much more than just the presidential race. Every two years, every member of the House of Representatives runs for reelection. Every six years, Senators run. Governors are running, along with a lot of other state seats like state legislatures. Then there are municipal races for your county and city - mayors, councilmen, school board, tax collector, clerk of courts, judges, dog catcher, etc.
So if someone is a strong party voter, they’ll just vote a “Straight Ticket,” with every vote for their own party. In the old days, with the old voting machines, there was even a switch you could flip as soon as you started, that would automatically cast your party vote for every race, so you didn’t have to flip 20 switches.
So it would be really weird for someone to be such a strong Democratic voter that they check off every Democratic box, and then cast their presidential vote for Trump. I could see them voting for their Republican neighbor for dog catcher, because he’s kind to animals, but generally, the higher the election goes, the more likely you are to vote for YOUR party.
The idea that someone would vote a straight Democratic ticket, then vote for Trump as president, makes no plausible sense at all. Worse, literally nobody from either party has questioned it at all.
Re: straight democrat tickets with trump for president. Do you have a source on this? I’d like to read more about it.
Like I said, NOBODY is investigating it, so there is very little except lots of things from lots of sources.
Here’s something that points to what I’m talking about:
in the seven swing states – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – there was an inverse trend: the Democratic vote dropped very slightly but held up quite well compared to 2020, but Trump made enough gains to give him the White House. A large part of Democratic campaign spending was focused on the swing states, suggesting that this helped buoy up Democratic support – but not enough to overcome a wave of additional Trump voters.
…
In the swing states – Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and North Carolina – the story was one of increasing Republican votes. About 303 counties had seen larger increases in the Trump vote than any major change in the numbers voting Democrat. Meanwhile, 66 counties saw outsized shrinkage of Democratic votes.
Swing states: how Democratic vote stayed flat while Republican gains won it for Trump
So the story in the Swing States was that the Democratic vote stayed strong, while the Trump vote increased…why? What was the reason for the sudden rise in Trump voters in those states? Why weren’t they there in 2016, or 2020? After not voting for him twice, they saw him throw an Insurrection and steal hundreds of documents as thought they’d vote for him for president, even though they were going to continue to vote Democrat for everyone else?
Florida, which was an evenly split state for decades, is no longer considered a swing state because so many MAGAs moved there, that they now have a 600K lead. But that doesn’t seem to be the case with these states. Their Democratic voter base stayed relatively consistent, but suddenly there were a lot of Trump voters.
All they had to do was flip less than 1% of the vote, and both Musk and Putin openly contributed their experienced professional hacking teams. Lean on the the Doge Douchebags, and they’ll spew the whole sordid scheme.
Midterms are so difficult to rig that it would be impossible on a nationwide basis.
But I want to reinforce a message here that we’re in crazy-stupid-runaway-clown-state world now, where anything is possible so long as it’s ‘unprecedentedly’ bad for us.
…so we need to make absolutely sure this remains bafflingly impossible so that even a crazy “I can’t believe that’s stupid enough to work” doesn’t somehow pull it off and screw us all over…again.
Valid. Cheating is their normal default state, so they’re good at it. You can’t take your eyes off these people for a second, they’re waiting for that exact moment to strike, and they’re always doing something to distract us from their active corruption.
he will place ICE vote minders inside every voting booth… wanna see a pic of what it’s gonna look like??
They don’t have enough ICE employees to do that. Not everywhere. Not in enough places to turn the coming wave. They can make the process painful for their biggest enemies, but that’s about it.
“Glory to Arstotzka.”
I’m curious about the full context of this image. That’s insane.
Democrats should be playing an ad with that comment non-stop.
They also need to play, “take the guns now and figure out due process later.”
Remember all those Biden “I did that” stickers?

I do not live in the US, though I appreciate the suggestion :p
Part of me wonders if those who’d stick on the Bifen version would even realise the irony of the situation. Some of them are so far gone they’ll happily flipflop along with Trump’s mood dujour, all that matters is that it’s their “team” and that they’re “winning”.
“I mean it’s one gallon of gas, J.D. How much can it cost?”
James Donald, it was not a Grey Poupon rhetorical question, you’re my VICE President, I depend on your Buckeye wisdom
“If they can’t afford oil, let them eat cake.”
We have literally reached this moment in American history, and Trump is too virtuosically ignorant to understand what it means.
Exactly what came to mind. How many months of life do you think these idiots have left if they keep letting costs rise and people start to starve?
“If they can’t buy gas, let them burn vodka.”
“Let them eat cake!”
Let them burn ethanol!
Biodiesel might actually be meaningful, given that diesel prices in particular are way up and soy exports are down.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiesel_in_the_United_States
Biodiesel is commercially available in most oilseed-producing states in the United States. As of 2023, it is less expensive than petroleum-diesel,[1] though it is still commonly produced in relatively small quantities (in comparison to petroleum products and ethanol fuel).
I don’t know how practical it is to scale up production, though. And fertilizer’s probably a global market, so fertilizer prices in the US are going to be up, even aside from Trump’s trade restrictions.

It sounds like some places are looking into it.
Brazil weighs fast-tracking biodiesel tests as diesel prices spike
BRASILIA, April 8 (Reuters) - Brazil’s government is looking at ways to accelerate testing of higher biodiesel blends in diesel, aiming to reach a conclusion this year, the head of a soy crushers association said on Wednesday, amid a spike in fuel prices due to the Iran war.
The measure could boost soybean demand in the world’s largest producer of the oilseed, most of which is shipped to China for animal feed. Brazil’s biofuels industry has seized on the disruptions to oil and gas supplies in the Middle East as a chance to push for higher mandated blends of soy-based diesel and ethanol in gasoline.Latin America’s largest economy imports about a quarter of the diesel it consumes. As Brazilian biodiesel is now cheaper than diesel, higher blends enhance energy security, Nassar said.
“We have an asset that guarantees energy security and will never be in short supply, as Brazil has abundant feedstock,” he said. “This war could drag on … We need a much shorter timeline to complete the tests.”Indonesia’s B50 Pivot Shows War Is Stoking Global Biofuel Demand
Indonesia’s abrupt pivot to expand its biodiesel mandate is the latest sign of how the war in Iran is reshaping energy policy, tightening global vegetable oil supplies as more gets funneled into fuel.
The world’s top palm oil producer will implement its B50 program — an ambitious target to boost the level of biodiesel blended in its fuel to 50% — starting from July 1, Airlangga Hartarto, coordinating minister for economic affairs announced late Tuesday. The move is part of efforts to mitigate energy supply disruptions wrought by the conflict, with Airlangga saying it could reduce fossil fuel consumption by 4 million kiloliters annually.
Can’t wait until food gets more expensive because land that was used for growing food I’d going to be used for bio-fuel.
Turns out owning the libs is really fucking expensive.
by this point it’s not even the libs anymore, this is owning everybody. redneck magas from hatecrime, alabama also can’t afford shit anymore
Are you tired of ‘winning’ yet?
Hopefully, being stupid enough to support characters like this orange turd will be as socially unacceptable as taking a dump in the middle of the street… if we survive this one

I can’t speak for California, but in Ohio we haven’t really come close to Obama or Biden gas prices yet. And we’ve had a ton of inflation since Obama.
Whataboutism
I don’t even respect whataboutisms as responses, they are bad faith arguments by definition. I would encourage people to respond with “Whatabout deep nutz” or “Whatabout you sucking my ballz.” They are not valid arguments and need to be labeled so.
