Trump Will Try To Steal The Election

[Baron2024]

Trump and his enablers will try to steal this election even if he loses. Trump and his MAGA Republicans have operatives in the battleground states that are county election officials. They will not certify the results if Trump loses. Trump will declare himself the winner even if he loses. It will be election interference and fraud on a grand scale. Right out of the Fascist Playbook. We must develop a plan to oppose such an illegal and unconstitutional takeover of our country. I think that Kamala will win, but even if she does, the Trump MAGA Fascists will claim that they won and will try to block the certification of the election, just like they tried back in 2020/2021.

2. That's my greatest fear about this election.

5. That and the Xtreme Court oking the steal.

10. Mine too

3. He tried to steal it in 2020 and failed.

Everyone who can do anything about it is aware of the potential and is prepared. I think it's more important to prepare to beat him in November via turnout than to spend a lot of time worried about hypotheticals that we, personally, cannot control.

4. Of course he will; we've known that all along.

And I'm sure the campaign and other organizations and people like Marc Elias are well aware of what he and his goons are up to and have well-considered plans to fight back.

11. I am hoping someone has a plan to deal with the

six supremes if something has to go to them as there is a 99.9 % chance they will rule for Donny regardless of the facts.

[H2O Man]

15. Right.

Curious OP, I think.

The felon claimed that Ted Cruz cheated in the Iowa caucus in 2016. He shifted his lie this year, and claimed he had won it three years in a row. Safe to say that we know he is a sore loser and pathological liar.

After his 2020 defeat, he had the power of the presidency to abuse, but he still lost.

"Baron" writes, "We must develop a plan to oppose such an illegal and unconstitutional takeover of our country." We already have one, which involves campaigning and voting.

6. They tried that in 2020

It failed then and if they try again… it will fail again. Fear mongering bullshit.

[Silent Type]

13. Exactly. Even trump's handpicked Supreme Court rejected every trump election suit.

Just vote, and our votes will be counted.

[yourout]

7. Then most certainly will try. My bigger fear is the secret service failing to stop a..

Trump inspired gunman.

[Initech]

8. Of course they will.

If it's even remotely close, Trump and his GOP enablers in Fox News and the Supreme Court will argue every way they can to hand the election to Trump, even though he didn't rightfully earn it. The propaganda is the problem, it's always been the problem.

[Skittles]

9. that is like saying the sky is blue

yup

[Walleye]

12. Well, remember VP will be counting the votes on January 6. I hope they aren't expecting a peaceful transfer of power

[ZonkerHarris]

14. that was always the plan

[wiggs]

16. Watch out for planted evidence of voter fraud. nt

17. I've understood this since before Biden got inaugurated.

Last time there were a sufficient number of Republicans in critical positions who had enough integrity to refuse to go along with it.

Those have all been identified and replaced.

Dump and his fellow criminals spent the time between last election and the inauguration looking for every single weak spot in the system. They largely found them and have figured out how to effectively exploit them.

It really surprised me that this wasn't being talked about starting 3 1/2 years ago.

18. Elections are local affairs...

One of the ways to combat this is at the local level.

Local people that work at the elections departments can communicate with the press of any funny stuff., they might lose their jobs but notifying the press might work if the Officials in charge try to do something.

That’s step one - one thing you have to say about Trump, anything he touches does die., and that might include America.

[Clouds Passing]

19. That's all the GOP has had since Nixon, cheating and lying treasoners. Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, Bush Jr, Rump

All treasoners, cheaters and liars.Time to stop their sordid game permanently.
