Far-right activists have a brilliant new strategy: Don't vote!

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Ali Alexander, a key organizer of the "Stop the Steal" protests that led up to the Jan. 6 insurrection, declared this week during a livestream appearance that he probably won't vote in this year's midterm elections. As Right Wing Watch first reported, Alexander said that Republicans had failed to adequately "court" his or his supporters' vote and that conservatives might be better served by "strategically losing" rather than "a win that cannot be sustained."

Strange as this may seem, he's not alone. With this declaration, Alexander joins a handful of far-right activists, including white nationalist leader Nick Fuentes and failed Florida congressional candidate Laura Loomer, who are discouraging their fans and followers from voting as a rebuke to the GOP.

young white nationalist leader Nick Fuentes, head of the far-right America First or "groyper" movement, vowed that if DeSantis wins the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 instead of Trump, Fuentes won't vote for him and would work to "spoil" the election for Republicans.

1. Many "far" anything do not vote. They just make noise

[PatSeg]

17. This is true

I remember many leftists in the sixties who were pretty much the same. Made lots of noise, marched, and demonstrated, but many of them didn't bother to vote. They wanted change, but often did not believe in the process.

2. Republicans lie. Roe your vote up and down the ballot!

Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!

THESE are the races that will determine control of the House of Representatives:

3. Or vote with your mind -- tRump said it would count

[Silent3]

4. Is there any way to help finance this movement?

At least without giving money to scumbags?

Damn, I hope this catches on with right-wing nutjobs. Perhaps they can be lead to believe that full Democratic control over the next two years, and the (from their viewpoint) terribly painful disaster that would bring, is the only way to get rid of themselves of "RINOs" and come sweeping back into power in 2024 with "real conservatives" in charge.

5. Let's make this message go far and wide in the RW circles.

[Initech]

6. Shhhh!!! Nobody tell them what happens when you don't vote!

[ZonkerHarris]

7. They don't have the guts to do that. That takes real principles.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. Reverse psychology to make non-FRNJs become lulled into complacency

and THEY don't vote.

GOTV. Take a friend. Drive an elderly neighbor. Dedicate Election Day to culling voters and get them to the polls.

9. Dang, we'll never get the upper hand with fiendish tactics like that.

[KarenS]

10. I know, right??

[DFW]

11. We have finally found common ground with the extremist right

They say they they won’t vote, and we want to encourage as many of them as we can to achieve their goal.

[lark]

12. I so approve of this message.

Far right needs to stay at home and not try to spread their fascism.

[dembotoz]

13. election far enough away perhaps looking for concessions...like a concentration camp named after him

You want to look independent but not too close so that if the gop poops itself you do not go down with the ship or sh#t

[Buckeyeblue]

14. I suspect that if Trump is still alive in 2024 that he'll be the nominee

Even if he is under indictment. I wonder if Trump needs to lose in a landslide for Republicans to drive out the magas?

If we have a blue wave this fall, I look to magas to say they sat this one out in a desperate attempt to stay relevant.

[PortTack]

15. Gee..what a great plan on their part. Will wait patiently to hear how it works out for them!

[Wounded Bear]

16. The left tried this and it got us trump...

I say, go for it!

[peggysue2]

18. I like it!

I fully support this right-wing strategy: their supporters and True Believers staying away from the polls in November to teach the Republican Party a LESSON. With this and the phenomenal increase in Dem registrations, mostly young and female voters, we can all participate in the same result:

Send the GOP to a dark, powerless region with passion and enthusiasm.

Oh, Happy Days!

19. Excellent. Vote your conscience. Threaten not to vote to teach them a lesson. Hold feet to the fire.

Don't "hold your nose," don't vote.

20. The Sarandon Protocol. Purity Uber Alles!

Let the other side win, because it will be so bad that disenchanted voters will come flooding back to our side.
