The White House has launched another taxpayer-funded television ad before the midterms, this time featuring imagery of President Donald Trump walking down a hall as audio plays of him saying “this is the final battle.”

“We will cast out the communist, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all,” Trump says in the ad, echoing comments he made during a Veterans Day speech in 2023.

Using tax-payers money to forecast your own dunking in Boston harbor is a pretty baller move.

If there's no election at least there will be a civil war.

There will be an election. It will be fraudulent and ICE will interfere. Americans will grumble their way into full dictatorship without a shot fired

Midterms? Yes, but severely fucked with. Presidential election in 2028? Probably not

If only Putin could tell him how to do it. If only they'd had a series of private conversations off the record with only Putins translator present, and a series of trips, and phone calls.

You have to say more than that, of course. There’s a national emergency twice a week, and every time that Nazi declares one it’s meaningless

So what do you mean, really?

Being edgy doesn’t help us plan. What are the actual mechanisms?

You can just look that up, start with control over mail in ballots, what happened to the voting machines, that they're now owned by a rightwong libertarian (hence rebranding to "liberty voting machines") the findings on how the machines can be gamed during the calibration steps that happen everyday morning (if you're in a blue state you can calibrate them to count dem votes as Republican). I suspect that's what Trump meant when he said Musks tech rats helped him with the voting machines. Then there's losing ballots ect... There's a bunch of ways you can manipulate voting without exactly manipuating any single persons vote or voting experiences...

...and you can also just load election related agencies with loyalists to bias monitoring.

All of these things have news stories out there. Just google.

He said "stranger things have happened" when the idea of declaring a national emergency to postpone election certification

A few months ago, there was an article that a "good friend and advisor" of 47 said that he should declare a national emergency for the reason that "China will have their thumb on the scale" when it comes to our elections and said they will interfere. A national emergency would let them seize voting machines and "vet" them for accuracy and delay certification which I'm sure the GOP would goose-step in compliance to.

Pete Kegsbreath said on the 22nd that he advised the troops that they should defend our elections from "foreign threats."

They're setting the pieces in place to say that the midterms cannot be certified due to foreign interference that occurred and nobody can be sworn in until they are fully audited and therefore the GOP would continue to rule

The GOP already tested this idea with success for a special election they lost. They just refused to swear them in and certify. I believe it was one of the Carolina states.

Governors in shithole red states would kotow to the seizure and delay because according to polls, their party is likely to lose hard and blue states like CA and NY you could potentially have a civil disobedience on par to a citywide riot across multiple states.

Martial Law is declared from 47 due to the multiple states rioting and pushing back on the voting seizure and or certification delay and goodbye free elections and hello Police State

”What exactly is fascism?"

"It's when the leaders force way(s) of life and punish anyone who won't or can't conform."

"So it's basically authoritarian, like communism?"

"Well, not exactly. Communism is explicitly antifascist and anticapitalist. Fascists actually love unchecked capitalism."

"Does that make communists good guys or not?"

"They're basically authoritarian. But we fought fascists with them."

"So what are we?"

"We have Freedom. We're different."

Not a question of whether I'm wrong, these aren't stories or claims I'm making they're from news media over the years. I just paod attention.

So you're hoping the news media is wrong.

I was thinking The Final Countdown while typing this. I mean this is in his head right, so he wouldn't think of a song called "send in the clowns".

"never before has any nation celebrated so magnificent a triumph as this one"

I find that confusing. Was he talking about Mount Rushmore itself, or the genocide of indigenous people that it represents? Maybe he's referring to a more recent triumph like the triumph of Iran over the USA.

I think he just enjoys the sound of his own throat sucking himself off

Republicans also love to do the "This is the biggest and mostest election of our entire lives!" every two years, to whip their rube base into a mad dash for the polls.

Everyone does that and have done pretty much since democracy existed.
