Trump Tells Republicans Not to Vote in 2022 or 2024

In a new statement that he would have posted on Twitter himself if his account was not permanently suspended for inciting violence, former President Donald Trump urged his supporters not to vote in the two upcoming elections if the Republican Party does not “solve” the supposed voter fraud that he has falsely claimed precipitated his loss to President Joe Biden.

“If we don’t solve the Presidential Election Fraud of 2020 (which we have thoroughly and conclusively documented), Republicans will not be voting in ’22 or ’24,” Trump declared. “It is the single most important thing for Republicans to do.”

After prominent Trump supporters similarly told Georgia Republicans to sit out the two runoffs in that state late last year, calling it “another rigged election,” voters ended up giving Democrats control of the Senate.

    This is why I think "Democrats lose in a landslide" isn't quite as baked in as Leftists want to believe.

      "hurr durr democrats will lose" is guaranteed upvote bait on this site regardless of whether it's true (and sometimes it is!). Heck, the loudest people on this site root for the GOP half the time because they're "I'm too cool to vote" edgelords or think accelerationism isn't just another word for fascist collaboration.

      I don't think Democrats are like, in a good position for 2022/24 but it's far from a foregone conclusion that they'll lose.

        There's a segment of people on here who think part of leftism is reflexively opposing whatever Democrats do. It's just contrarianism.

        Nobody's rooting for the GOP in a serious way. We know electoralism is a failure so it's pure spectator sport. Democrats losing in 2022 will be funny, that's it (ofc Republicans throwing it by not voting on Trump's command would be even more funny). And voting for Democrats is just fucking pointless, not because we're "too cool to vote" or we want the GOP to win, just because there's no point. And before you say "harm reduction", please take a long look at the Biden administration and tell me how that's been going.

        How is this even still a point to be argued on this site?
