So he's planning to rig the mid term elections.

Same as all the elections since Republicans stole the 2000 election. Voters suppression and misinformation propaganda have kept them in the spotlight.

I am confident that this most recent election was rigged simply based on how nothing has been reported on invetigations of the areas where the election deniers were running the show and Republicans are constantly projecting their worst behavior. The fact that they claim prior elections were stolen is a solid sign they were planning on stealing one and this would be the one because it aligns with Project 2025.

They will absolutely be leaning into more voter suppression and will be emboldened to alter the actual vote counts themselves to make it look like their voting ratio is even higher.

Yes, this will be outright vote manipulation. Russia-style.

So he's planning to ~~rig~~ cancel the mid term elections.

[-] SnotFlickerman 20 points 1 day ago

Yeah way more likely he's going to use mass protests as a pretext for Martial Law and canceling elections indefinitely.

He accused Zelenskyy of this, which to me says he'll definitely do it himself

[-] Alenalda@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Tinfoil hat time, but im more concerned that some kind of false flag would happen on a boarder city. Kill a lot of people, blame it on migrants, close the border, declare martial law, cancel elections.

An American Reichstag fire

Maybe, but I think it's more likely they'll want some pretense of legitimacy and rig them instead of cancelling them altogether.

It has been for years, especially if all this info about the extremely insecure voting machines, starlink, ballot manipulating code, stingrays, etc is true, which it seems to be.

I cannot for the life of me understand why none of the dems in power are talking about this election being fixed. Other countries have spoken up about the same thing happening to them. At least one has demanded new elections. There seems to be plenty of evidence that this happened in the U.S., so why would they refuse to acknowledge it? Do they think people won't believe them? They keep trying to play by rules that conservatives have long since abandoned. I just don't understand anything anymore.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 hours ago

Because they spent the last four years with the conservatives falsely claiming it for 2020 and want to look like they're taking the high road by accepting the results and making a big show about doing a peaceful transfer of power
