This Is IT: Trump Is Openly Saying He Wants to Seize Control of American ElectionsWe either stop him NOW, or the American Constitutional Republic will be Over
Although this most un-American statement is available on news sources everywhere, I decided to source that quotation from Fox News to assure readers that it is not made up by some “left-wing lunatic.” Here is the language of Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution:
So, the President of the United States, the Leader of the “Republican Party,” which has long championed the Constitution, checks and balances, and states’ rights and vehemently opposed overreach by the national government is calling on his party to “take control” of elections. Why? Because he knows that he and his actions have become so unpopular that Republicans are almost certain to lose the midterms in November in an historic landslide. He has been saying maybe America needs a dictator and the United States “shouldn’t even have an election” in November. And he knows he lost the 2020 Election “bigly,” which he admitted in a private conversation in December 2020 and has repeated a few times since, including in a session with historians in April 2022: “I didn’t win the election.” Though he knew perfectly well that he had lost the 2020 election—and more than sixty court decisions in which he contested it—he plotted to overthrow the results and stay in office, effectively ending the Constitutional Republic. That included promoting an insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Somehow, he has persuaded his supporters that what they saw with their own eyes that day didn’t happen the way they witnessed it. Yesterday, he again boldly lied, “But, you know, the 2020 election, I won that election by so much. And everybody knows it!”
In the world of fact, a world from which those still following Trump long ago seceded, what everybody knows is that he lost the 2020 election by more than seven million votes, 4.45 percent. Trump lost the Electoral Vote 306-232. (which, BTW, is exactly the same electoral vote by which Trump won in 2024). And Joe Biden won a majority of the vote—51.31%—something Trump has never done:
The only time Trump won the popular vote (meaning THE Vote), was 2024, and that was by only 1.47 percent, which he calls one of the biggest landslides in history! If you believe that Trump won in 2020 or that he won a landslide (with less than 50 percent of the votes) in 2024, your mind is a wholly owned subsidiary of Donald J. Trump.Last week, he sent Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard (that sounds like a statement from an SNL skit) and FBI agents to Atlanta to seize 700 boxes of ballots from the 2020 election. Then on Saturday, a special election for a Texas State Senate seat from the Fort Worth area—a district Trump had carried by 17 points in 2024, was won by a Democrat by 14 points. A 31-point swing to the Democrats in fifteen months … in a very “red” area of Texas. Trump and the authoritarians around him are in full panic mode. We, the American people, should be, too. It is crystal clear that Trump plans to have large contingents of his ICE Gestapo in the streets of “blue” cities before and on Election Day to intimidate voters. The blatant racism of the administration could not be plainER. They are going after brown and black people. Their goons have shown they are willing to kill white folks, too. Trump just made it clear that he is prepared to have federal agents intervene in elections in places where Republicans lose. In an essay in the New York Times on Sunday appropriately titled “This Is Not a Drill,” David French laid out a chilling scenario of what could happen in November. If we Americans, by the tens of millions, fail to perceive the mortal threat to our nation, our freedoms, and our democracy and join together in every possible way to block the fascists, future generations may be seeing this:
