Just in case you had any doubt about whether he intends to stage another coup attempt if he loses.

    This is disgusting, to state the obvious.

    But also a really dumb electoral strategy, so all good!

      Its not election strategy at all, this prep for a coup attempt. He knows he’s lost, and now he’s whistling off the back porch prepping his dogs to dowhat he is too dumb and fat to do on his own.

        Trump hasn’t lost yet - not by a long shot - but this definitely is him preparing Plan B. This is basically just him signalling to his most loyal fans that if things don’t go their way in November, they’ll be richly awarded for another Jan 6 - only doing it “right” this time.

        Love the optimism, but in no way has Trump “already lost”, nor do I think he believes that. Please make sure you and your social circle vote, volunteer, and donate to get people to the polls!

            Actually winning 270+ electoral college votes was always plan B. Disrupting the counting/certification and getting put into power by a one-vote-per-state poll in the House or coronated by SCOTUS like in Bush v. Gore (which three of the current justices worked for Bush on, BTW) is 100% plan A.

        I’m currently in the “blue no matter who” camp. Harris has momentum, but Trump still has an edge in the electoral college and that’s what actually matters.

        Controversially, I’ll say that: there are no undecided voters. The person that will win is the one who can actually get their supporters to the polls. Last time around Trump got 74 million people to vote for him and as much as Lemmy/Reddit whatever site you visit seems to think that Harris is winning, it’s all about voter turnout.
