“I don’t care how, but you have to get out and vote,” Trump told the crowd at Turning Point Action’s Believer’s Summit. “Christians get out and vote. Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore.”

“In four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed. It’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians,” Trump added during his 70-minute long speech. “We’ll have it fixed so good. You’re not going to have to vote.”

    He doesn’t have the authority to send out nukes. Nor does he have the authority to end voting. This is “Mexico will pay for the wall” all over again.

    He knows his dumbass base eats this shit up. So he says it.

      This is where Project 2025 enters the chat. They plan to use Schedule F to change the classification of civil servants and make them political appointments. Then instead of just top people that swap out to help the new administration meet goals, they swap out thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of civil servants with fascist friendly bodies looking to rubber stamp anything Trump wants to do.

      So they could replace prosecutors all over the country with no “appetite” for prosecuting anyone aligned with Trump. Good luck bringing anything about voting rights before a court, unless it’s how Republicans should have won despite a complete lack of evidence. They plan to dismantle the EPA, NOAA, education and on and on. He will have the power to do anything his dementia riddled brain can think up. And taking power back after handing it over to a fascist regime using Project 2025 as the play book is going to involve another civil war.

        DING DING DING! This is the intended trajectory. It’s also why they’re so desperately trying to distance themselves from P2025, they wrote out all down in explicit language.

      He already tried a coup once. He’s incompetent, but give him four years…

      (Of course, very possible he just keels over dead by then, but Vance is more competent. Or at least, he’ll listen to Daddy Peter Thiel who’ll tell him what to do.)
