Today seems like a good time...

... to remind people of Trump's comment a year or so ago in West Palm Beach, Florida in which he stated unequivocally, "In four years we'll have it fixed so good you'll never have to vote again”.
Golly gee... what do you suppose he meant by that?

Or Musk’s comments on Joe Rogan that he had a special application that let him see
the vote much earlier than when the returns are released.

This shut down is part of the fascist coup we are deep into.

If you're going to present a quote as evidence of something, make sure you have the quote correct.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-tells-christians-they-wont-have-vote-after-this-election-2024-07-27/

Trump was speaking at an event organized by the conservative group Turning Point Action in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Trump said: "Christians, get out and vote, just this time. "You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians."

He added: "I love you Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again, we'll have it fixed so good you're not going to have to vote," Trump said.

Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung did not directly address
Trump's remarks when asked to clarify them.

Did you even read my post?

The real quote is this:

Trump said: "Christians, get out and vote, just this time. "You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians."

He added: "I love you Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again, we'll have it fixed so good you're not going to have to vote," Trump said.
