Rachel Maddow points out frightening truth about Trump's lack of concern about votes - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Rachel Maddow rounds up instances in which Donald Trump not only assures his supporters that if he is elected they won't have to vote in the future, but also that even for this 2024 election he does not need votes.

Maddow posits that the reason Trump doesn't care about votes is that he intends to win by manipulating the administration of the voting tabulation. - Aired on 07/29/2024.

1. CHAOS brewing!

2. And more cheating, how is this a surprise??

3. Why is this not a headline?

5. How do repulicans

Find so many dishonest people to throw an election? It would only work in states where Trump would win anyway so what does he gain with his tools mot certifying the vote. I know in wI they couldn't get rid of the honest people in our voting commission and I doubt they were able to set it up in blue states.so I hope they take him at his word that he doesn't need their vote and don't bother to vote.

6. They're TFG's chosen cronies who also only want power or those civilians who inexplicably believe his election lies

According to Liz Cheney's book, no matter how many cases he lost (61 out of 62) challenging the election results or how many of his closest associates also told him he lost (none of whom are still with him now), he just kept repeating publicly that he "won by a landslide." And he managed to convince those violent insurrectionists who he called to the Capitol on January 6th. And so many are now convicted and jailed, but why TFG still walks free - let alone gets the chance to try it again - is what baffles me the most.

7. I know

It's all baffling to me. I swear it's the lead in the water.

10. And of all the people in this country with experience in government and expertise in the law

This is the best that the Republicans can do??

8. You Better Be CHILLED To the Bone. Lather Rinse Repeat. Jan 6 Once Again without a Mike Pence.

9. I'm watching the repeat right now, but isn't Kamala Harris the sitting VP and counts the votes in November?

[Uncle Joe]

11. Kicked and recommended

Thanks for the thread Rhiannon

12. What I recall is that in a small red county in a swing state they can contest the results...

...then the state does not certify because the results are incomplete.

Methinks since the SCROTUS already played its hand, they will NEVER rule against anything major on Trump. It is up to Dark Brandon to use his immunity powers or perhaps hire Molasar, the destroyer of fascists.

13. The Big Lie

Right out of the Fascist Playbook. Trump and his MAGA cohorts need to be stopped at all costs. They are planning to say that they won the election even if they lose it. They have county election officials in place in swing states who will block the counting of votes in those states. This is going to be like January 6th but probably even worse since they are more prepared for it. Fascists tell big lies and suckers believe them. Hopefully we can stop Trump at the ballot box, but I expect some sort of trouble even if Kamala is a clear winner. These MAGA Nazis are a threat to democracy.

My hope is that one day in the near future Trump will be gone from our national politics like a bad dream. MAGA might outlive him with sycophants like JD Vance trying to take it over, but if Trump was gone (maybe a heart attack at some point or a stroke) the head of the snake would be cut off. Anyway, they are going to continue the Big Lie that Trump won in 2020 and they will say that they won 2024 even if he loses. The MAGA people that they have in place as county election positions in swing states will try to block the vote in those states should Trump lose. Very dangerous.

15. What needs to be done is this:

We need to win the House. If those states are blocked long enough, then the POTUS and VP positions are over with by 1/21/25. Then who is the next in line? Speaker of the House. That's why we have to win the House back.

14. But Biden and Harris are in office until January 20 and can call out the military if things get too ugly.
