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.
Is this a self own, or is it trump egging his base on towards civil war?
I dont think calls against electoralism from the right is necessarily a good thing
its so fucking weird. like, there’s still time for him to backtrack on this and run himself, but this announcement is first and foremost a threat to the republican party — “get on board with the Trump Was Robbed narrative or lose your voter base”. but what happens if the party realigns completely with him and picks up the voter fraud line? does he try to have himself reinstated, or is it just fodder to impeach Biden? Trump posted on his website back in May i think, some analogy about how when a jewelry store gets robbed, you dont just imprison the burglrs, you put the jewels back. his goal is reinstatement as president, and this most recent message seems to say ‘and we’re not doing the electoral way’
there’s time for things to swing around change course but i don’t like where this is headed, especially with the recent flirting with secessionism that people like Majorie Taylor Greene are doing
or, maybe Trump isn’t playing 5D, 4D, or even 3D chess and he’s actually just saying something really dumb that he’ll backpedal on immediately because he’s a moron who constantly runs his mouth
Trump actually playing chess would be the funniest thing ever.
“Look folks, my rooks, my rooks are the best in the history of chess, okay? You look at them, and they are very powerful. And, you know what that means? It means that they are incredible at moving sideways, and forwards, AND backwards. They are very powerful, folks.”
"And the queen, ohhh the queen isn't she beautiful folks? What a nice piece that one is."
Trump bragging about his rooks would be great too.
It's definitely accelerationist territory, which the left isn't close to ready for.
I was saying accelerationism :I-was-saying:
