This is not the USSR. The president doesn’t have general “emergency” powers that allow him to act on whatever topic he wants.

This is like his pardon power. States control voting not federal government.

Attacks on Voting include:

-Directive from the White House to USPS to NOT post mark mail in ballots
-Calls to Nationalize elections
-Calls to eliminate electronic voting
-The SAVE Act which will eliminate millions of voters
-Demands by DHS for Voter Rolls
-Demands by Trump to redistrict

and on and on an on...

He’s going to take this for a test run at the midterms, then get an idea of what he needs to succeed in 2028.


If he doesn't succeed in midterms, it will be too late for anything in 2028. He can't lose the midterms.

Of course that is what he is doing. We have had 250 years of relatively free and fair elections and until 2020, none of them were at issue. All of the sudden, Donald claims 2020 was rigged, but somehow, 2024 wasn't rigged, but now elections going forward have to be 'fixed"

It isn't rocket science to figure out the game here.


I hope we the people rise up when he declares that the election was rigged and tries to block the elected officials from being sworn in.

Because he’s been testing the waters and getting more brazen until people like you finally decide it’s too far. All those warnings were accurate and now here we are.

Wondering if this just triggers a Streisand effect motivating more people, specifically dems/independents, to vote in the midterms

Those missing Epstein files must be more horrific than we can even imagine, and the GOP traitors are willing to start a civil war to protect the pedophiles.
