Top Republicans, led by Trump, refuse to commit to accept 2024 election results

You know, let me say this loudly.

Fuck these fucking oxygen thieves, pedophiles, rapists and frauds.

They will calm the fuck down once Sally Yates replaces Barney Milquetoast Garland.

Again, fuck these motherfuckers.

Top Republicans, led by former president Donald Trump, are refusing to commit to accept November’s election results with six months until voters head to the polls, raising concerns that the country could see a repeat of the violent aftermath of Trump’s loss four years ago.

The question has become something of a litmus test, particularly among the long list of possible running mates for Trump, whose relationship with his first vice president, Mike Pence, ruptured because Pence resisted Trump’s pressure to overturn the 2020 election.

In a vivid recent example, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) was pressed at least six times in a TV interview Sunday on whether he would accept this November’s results. He repeatedly declined to do so, only saying he was looking forward to Trump being president again.

He continued to evade the question even as the interviewer, NBC News’s Kristen Welker, reminded him that a “hallmark of our democracy is that both candidates agree to a peaceful transfer of power.”

So the plan is to to deny truth, to lie, to cheat, and to steal as much as possible as fast as possible, and thereby install their kryptokristofascist degenerate corporate borg thereby VIOLATING the express majority will of the citizens of the USA.

It is as if the media is being complicit in the whole plan by the right to throw the next election into chaos. That will be their plan and impetus to take over and establish authoritarian rule. Saddest part is that all of those supporters on the right will be among the first to be thrown under the bus.
