What he’s promising is a system like that in Russia, where there are still elections, but peoples’ votes no longer determine who will hold power. In short a managed democracy where the consent of the governed is no longer material.
I was at breakfast today overhearing the table behind me talking about how great Vance was, how his wife is a “pure blooded Indian”, and he has so many kids and is perfect to take over from Trump. I think they overheard my partner and I talking too, I had mentioned what Trump said about fixing it so we don’t have to vote after the election and then noticed them not talking for awhile after being very loud. Then they started talking about how people who play video games are drug addicts who should be sent to rehab camps with the homeless after Trump gets elected. They overheard my partner and I talking about gaming together. So ya, fucking stay frosty people because its getting scary out there. This might really be the last election we get.
Charitably, I think from the context that Trump was saying “you won’t have to vote after this election, since I won’t be running and I don’t give a shit about you or anyone else that comes after me.”
But less charitably, this motherfucker instigated Jan 6, and he’ll absolutely try to overthrow democracy again. Fuck this guy.
Mmmmm I’m not giving that man any charity at all. He means what he says and so does project 2025.
Listen to the whole thing, they won’t have to vote because “it will be fixed”.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen a single news story about Trump saying “I’m not Christian”. I’d think his supporters wouldn’t give a shit about him saying they wouldn’t need to vote again after this, but admitting that he’s not Christian should ruffle some feathers.
I vote for not being charitable to those with fascist ideations…
He said he’d be dictator on day 1. Safe to say he means voting won’t be allowed anymore.
Even more charitably, I think he was trying to say that after Trump’s 2nd term, all the parts of 2025 they like will already be implemented, they’ll be living in the handmaid’s tale utopia they’re looking for, Democrats will resign in disgrace en masse when they see how wrong they were, and their entire future is secured all because of Trump forever and ever and ever amen, so there won’t be any need to vote because nobody will ever challenge it. “Vote for me and I’ll solve all your problems!” It’s the bog standard political promise that every politician has made since the dawn of time.
But of course, since it’s Trump, he is bloodbound to choose the absolutely worst possible option to do anything, every single time forever and for always. So even when he’s trying to just sound mundane and normal, he has to do it in the most Trumpy way possible so of course it’s going to come out exponentially more racist just by default. He cannot find a sensible way to do anything. Doing so would literally cause him physical pain.
And of course (again), this is Trump. We could be trying to give him the benefit of the doubt because we like torturing ourselves, and then he’ll just spout out in some random interview somewhere “Oh, no, that’s exactly what I meant. I’m gonna officially nullify the 22nd amendment because the Supreme Court just said I could. I mean, I won in 2016, I already proved there was massive fraud and I won in 2020, and now I won in 2024. Why have elections when everybody already knows I’m gonna win anyway? Then I’m gonna make sure we go back to the 50s where the women were barefoot and pregnant and those damn <insert all the racial slurs here> remember where their place is in society. I told you I was gonna do that years ago, didn’t i?”
That’s what I think he meant too… You’ll not have to vote again because when I’m done with it… it’ll be fixed. And I’ll also not care in 4 years as I won’t be able to run anyway…
But what the blathering oaf said was vastly different.
Either way fuck this guy and his want to be dictatorship
This man does not deserve the benefit of the doubt.
You won’t have to vote.
It’s not necessary to vote.
It’s not like voting helps.
You can’t vote anymore.Trump got his clues from Ronco Showtime Rotisserie’s Set it an forget it!
