Because, "he isn't serious", "he's joking, he's got a sense of humor", he's just messing with the libs". The media kept making exceptions for trump. Not even right wing media. Most of em. But he doesn't have a sense of humor. Everything evil he's said, he's done or is working on. Every neutral or "good" he's said he'd do? Crickets.

He's not Hitler. He's Louis the 16th.

I recently started following a guy on YouTube who's answer to the doubt over whether we'll be able to vote again is, "I'm not asking. I'm voting". I've decided to adopt that mentality and I encourage others to do the same.

But he had all those "Trump 2028" hats. Surely that means he plans to run again. He wouldn't just troll people for the sadistic glee, right?

Elections happen every 2 years. Approval polls are taken every 2 weeks. Things change.

89 million Americans didn't vote in 2024, roughly 36% of all eligible voters, over 1/3rd.

People have the memory of a goldfish. In 2028, the democratic candidate is going to have some obscure flaw that'll be pushed to every media station and social network that caters to the party that punishes opponents, and most Americans will forget the past 4 years and focus on this one flaw.

That's what all the labeling of groups as terrorists is for, along with the troop deployment to cities. They are going to try to effectively declare war on terrorism in various cities and states and use that war to suspend elections.

stopping maga from doing it again by voting blue

We did that with Biden. Good thing he took his responsibility seriously and went after Trump for attempting to overthrow the government. Whoops, I guess he forgot that part of the plan.

From your lips to.... well I'm not religious so whatever, I guess your hips or something, but I hope this happens.

Well, what I heard is that Trump's supporter base is strengthening and growing. What if this news is biased, and the reality is even more grim? You know that people are beyond dumb.

Nepal has taught the world that you don't need your government to have an election.

Donald Trump has cheated at literally EVERYTHING in his life: he cheated on every wife, he cheats at golf and wins every tournament at all of his courses, he cheats on his taxes, he uses bankruptcy as a money laundering strategy, etc. He cheats in every aspect of his life, but the Democrats want us to believe that he won "fair & square," and millions of people in the swing states voted straight Democratic tickets, except with Trump at the top. They've never produced a single one of these Democratic Trump voters, which only exist in the swing states, apparently.

According to Democratic leadership, the one election that he absolutely HAD to win, in order to avoid spending the rest of his life in prison, is the ONLY time that he played it "fair & square," and didn't cheat. Does that sound the Trump we've all come to know?

Statistically im probable?

Hey man, swing states are at least trying. Go yell at Ohio or Florida. They used to be swing states and gave up.

I know the feeling, but I think the reliably Republican states are much worse.

You underestimate the power of stupid

Trump definitely cares. He thrives on that kind of shit.

I would say they do care, if their ratings are down then their party is likely to win elections in the midterm. If their party is out of power in the house or senate after the midterm then the president loses power since the other party is less likely to vote in favor of things the president wants, and more likely to launch investigations into the president and administration officials.

There's also the fact that you want your successor to be from your party because 1) it says you did a good enough job the people wanted more of the same, 2) your successor will most likely continue things you've started and help secure your legacy.

In the end remember that most politicians are vain power hungry people, having low poll numbers at any time could hurt their egos and their ability to wield power.

... or they just don't have elections.

He's already spoken about it. If there's a "war" they don't need elections.

Maybe seeing the winds change can help the chickenshit congress find their spine and make the 25th ammendment happen?

What did a state that elected a statewide Democrat and a Trump president vote for, exactly?

Depends, if it's a bunch of Sinemas and Fettermans that win then nothing would change and people will ask why they even bother voting. Leadership needs to be primaried and changed or else it's a wasted shot.

It's an attempt to keep up morale from people that think we'll get midterms

I feel bad for the citizens that voted against this. But every protest sitter outer, and person that did vote for this can't say shit.
