Trump really set the Spidey senses tingling by telling people they won’t need to vote after this election
With all the talk of Project 2025, and Trump having vowed to be a dictator when he gets into the White House – just for one day, while he strips the powers from various government bodies – this plea for Christian voters to turn out in November took a worrying turn.
Trump: You have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore.. In four years, you won’t have to vote again. pic.twitter.com/DBGcBr3Wht

You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote any more, my beautiful Christians.
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 gonna have to vote.
Erm …what?

I'd love for journalists and broadcasters to ask Donald Trump precisely what he means when he says he's going to fix it so noone will have to vote again in four years. Seems kind of important.

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who is ALARMED to hear the guy who said he’ll be a dictator on Day One tell his supporters “You won't have to vote anymore…In four years you don't have to vote again.”

We are living in the combination of an @TheOnion article and a South Park episode.

columnists: so far we’re not sure what a second Trump presidency would mean for democracy
Trump: I’m going to be a dictator, I’ll say again, I’m going to be a dictator. Dictator Trump, that’s what I’ll call myself https://t.co/UCMPDdtWrW

But Kamala Harris is guilty of speaking in word salad. That's far worse than this… https://t.co/Ph9SjGKxZ5

Trump says he grabs women by the pussy.
The media: You can’t take him literally.
Fast forward: he’s found liable of sexual abuse.Trump says he won’t accept the results of the election if he loses.
The media: You can’t take him literally.

The Kamala Harris campaign wasted no time putting out this response.

There are other readings of his comment. Less worrying ones.
The absolute most generous, steel man, twisting myself into knots to be generous reading of this quote is that he's not going to run again in 2028 if he wins and so doesn't give a shit if you never vote again because he'll have gotten what he wants. https://t.co/qy38zpeVJU

I think Trump was trying to say that he’ll do so well that Christians won’t have to worry about coming out in large numbers to vote in the future, but that right now all of them are needed. I don’t think he’s saying they’ll have destroyed democracy. https://t.co/0fI3KBFafI
