“It’s happening.” It’s like that scene in Austin Powers where he’s going to run over the dude in a steam roller, but the guy’s like a hundred feet away. Doesn’t get out of the way; just screams until he’s dead.
I used to consider that scene a great metaphor for climate catastrophe but this is even more apt
For that metaphor to work he should accelerate and then lay down in front of it himself.
It made more sense when the movie was released!
Really good analogy.
“From Alaska to California”
So like… Alaska & California.
Maybe Oregon and Washington if we are being generous.
I was thinking the same. “So, just the west coast?”
OMG it’s British Columbia
British Columbia also recently had an election. Maybe Trump rigged there too
Maybe they meant it alphabetically?
So also hitting Arizona and Arkansas?
This is pointless hyperbole. If anyone has been reading the news, yes he’s trying. But also failing.
Anyone have any sources showing anything this admin has done to successfully subvert any states election process?
Agree.
We should be concerned, but not fall into despair.
Sir, this is Lemmy.
Beans?
Think it’s powdered milk now, the world moves fast
Powdered milk? In the poop factory??
Powdered Toast?
He’s a criminal in a corner about to face consequences. He can either accept the fate of his decisions like a responsible adult, or he can do the most unhinged illegal shit you can imagine to try to avoid them.
Which one do you think he’ll do?
(Bonus option, escape to Argentina.)
His brain never reached the level of a 7 year old
He has even said himself that he’s the same as when he was six
I don’t believe in the existence of consequences when it comes to Trump
I think anyone who could cause him trouble would want to avoid any potential uproar from Trump fanatics and gamble on the problem solving itself due to his age. They just need to veeeery slowly investigate and hint at some prosecution to keep face.
I never considered that he would be one of those people who ultimately flees the country. That would be pretty wild. I just assumed he would die before he can be held accountable.
He’ll never have to flee the country. The system will protect him.

If he’s in Russia, he’s no longer useful to Russia. He would fall out a window within a week.
But in Russia, he could join Steven Seagal and Gerard Depardieu and try building a boy band.

My money’s on Saudi Arabia. They gave fucking Idi Amin asylum there for over two decades.
Russia? Gross, nobody wants to live in Russia.
I voted for the first time ever because of this btw.
For what it is worth, this internet stranger is legitimately proud of you. Better late than never.
The rigging will start 11/4. Right now they’re just trying to prime the narrative. We haven’t seen anything yet. If you can, vote early and vote in person. Things are going to get rough after election day. Expect law suits, bullying, propaganda, and J6 level violence backed by ICE. Stand strong and don’t back down.
If they had it rigged as badly as they want us to believe they do, they wouldn’t be scrambling so hard at the 11th hour to rig it even harder.
STILL VOTE. Do not let them intimidate you. Do not let them discourage you. Vote!
Polling shows something like a +15 seat majority for Dems. They are rigging it because they know with that big a majority, they have no chance of ever getting their issues passed.
A +2 majority can be toyed with, just convince a couple members. Can’t say the same about 15
I know why they’re rigging it and yes, they’re in for a punishing wave, as they rightly deserve. What I’m saying is that despite all the fuckery they’re attempting, they haven’t fucked it so badly that it’s a lost cause. If they had, they wouldn’t be scrambling at the last minute.
So we all need to vote and not go with the lazy “well it’s rigged anyway so why bother?” That’s what they’re counting on. Vote!
Just wait until they lose.
They won’t wait…
I’ve been telling people to buy guns for years now. Everyone thinks we got till January 2029, if trump starts seeing early results of a tsunami, there’s a very good chance he actually tries to shut polls down
Physically sending ICE in and preventing anyone from voting, then declaring that since people couldn’t vote, it’s only “fair” to redo the election “next year” and then just try to kick that can down the road until he’s dead.
Especially if Netenyahu loses this election after preventing them for four years to maintain power.
trumps learning all the wrong lessons.
Vought has already published his plan. On 1/3/27 when it’s time to take the oath, many candidate elects will be deemed unfit to take the oath. Their seat will sit vacant. This will happen quietly behind closed doors, if people allow it. UNFTR has a video that lays it all out very well.
That Presiden’t Ratfucker is working to ratfuck the midterms is a hopeful sign that he has not already ratfucked them.
I’ve heard several reports that the Dems have been on top of this, and have outlined over 100 different schemes that MAGA might try, with solutions for all of them. So far, it’s working.
We have to remember that MAGA always talks a good game, and Dems being basically decent people at heart, believe them. They still don’t understand that MAGA is always lying, and they are ALWAYS bluffing.
In addition, the one thing that MAGA is remarkably consistent at is being VIRTUOSICALLY INCOMPETENT. Whatever they try, they will fuck it up, every single time. Take their gerrymander scam that was going to win the House for them. All they did was dilute previously solid red districts with blue voters. In a regular election, it might not be enough to worry about, but in a highly contested election like this one, it means some of those previously solid districts might flip. I’m looking forward to the autopsy on that one.
So remember that as they claim they will win, one way or another. The one thing we can count on, is that they’ll always fuck it up.
The headline should be Alabama to Wyoming.
Trump breaks laws to stay in power, more at eleven!
Omg I’m so surprised I can’t believe this is happening.
And like everything else Trump does, it will fail. He’s not subverting midterms. He’s choosing more dramatic consequences.
Bbbbbaby you just ain’t seen nnnnnothing yet…
