    Probably, but the media clearly still wants to make sure EVERYONE shows up to vote. I don't think it was ever true that Trump's going to try anything. He's a coward and he just talks a lot. I don't take him at his word because he's rarely followed through on anything he's said.

      i mean.. hes actually pretty consistently given away the game about actions the administration plans to take by just blabbing them like its no big deal.

      im more inclined to think the coup is something hes been ked to believe is totally normal by the people around him that want to maintain power and thats why hes saying it than that he has any kind of conniving motives around voter enthusiasm manipulation.

      theyve literally got like a dozen different vote suppression, fraud, and otherwise schemes in the works, so... meh.

        It's interesting to me because when you look at what he actually says, you can see it's a dumbass rambling reply like everything he says. There seems to be no thought put in it. It sounded like he was trying to say, well, I'm not worried about transition of power because I'm not going to lose, but his pudding brain can't articulate that clearly.

          my worry is more that the military industrial complex views him as a useful idiot that allows them to do the imperialism at home, while continuing the forever wars that they love so dearly

            He's shit on them a lot and a lot of them fucking hate him, plus he hasn't kicked off a war in four whole years. The military definitely doesn't like him.
