Donald Trump announced Sunday that Republicans plan to dispense a large “Election Integrity Army” to every single state for the 2026 midterms – invoking his debunked claims that the United States does not have fair elections. In a message on his Truth Social platform the president appeared to attribute his “Historic Election in 2024” to the fact that the Republican National Committee sent thousands of volunteers across the country to poll watch or assist with election litigation through a volunteer program. “During my Historic Election in 2024, when I won every single Swing State, and decisively won both the Electoral and Popular votes by wide margins, the Republicans had an Election Integrity Army in every single State to preserve the sanctity of each legal vote. We will be doing the same again in 2026, but it will be much bigger and stronger,” Trump wrote. Trump did not elaborate on who would be part of the “Election Integrity Army” or how large it would be.

What does that even mean? He’s already president with secret service protection, so it’s not as if he’d be particularly easy to kill now (and has had it since well before being elected) and it’s not as though there’s some special “become impossible to kill button” he’s waiting for the midterms to press.
Do you mean, it’ll be too late for killing him to stop the things that are in motion? Because that’s always been the case. Killing some senile octogenarian was never going to make a difference.
Real life isn’t a movie. You’re not cutting the red wire with 1 second left on the clock counting down to fascism.
You’re trivializing a serious situation. If you weren’t an ML, I’d have a discussion with you, but since you’re clearly only interested in watching the US catch on fire, I don’t think talking to you would be useful. So, I’m just gonna preemptively block you. Have a the day you voted for.
I’m not, actually. I just want the US to refocus on confronting the domestic roots of fascism rather than trying to control the world, while fascism is so deeply rooted.
I guess I should know better than to expect a liberal to answer any serious question under any circumstances.
Ah the brilliance of making open and empty death threats over the internet against a sitting president. What an amazing discussion it would be
Cool. What’s your plan?
fwiw, recognizing that something needs to be done, vs having the means to be the one to actually do it are two very different animals. No need to ridicule the former; and if you’re the latter then I sure as fuck hope you’re not posting about it online.
They’ve already replied and said they don’t really mean, “we.”
100% agree with you. There is no amount of organization we could do (for that specific goal) that wouldn’t get shut down violently.
Yeah true. The way I see it, the ‘we’ in this case is a lot bigger than just the US. Anyone who pulls that off will instantly become not just an American hero, but a global hero. “We” is all of humanity.
Like… in the 1930s, if some Ethiopian dude just popped up from beneath everyone’s radar and put a bullet between Hitler’s eyes, he’d be a hero everywhere, but especially in Germany.
And as long as it’s been with no results, I don’t think there’s anyone in the US willing/able to step up, so in light of our (US) spinelessness, we (the entire planet) may be relying on importing those skills from another nation.
Wishful thinking ofc. If justice, legal or vigilante, was going to happen, it would have by now.
I’m emigrating in July. Fuck you people.
Lol bot
Anything you don’t like is a bot, bot.
LOL.
Where to? I’m struggling with visas for places my wife and I want to live. We have backups where it’s not an issue, just less ideal weather.

If you want to avoid the same mentality as down there… avoid Alberta.
It’s not Alberta. But I’d take Alberta if that was the option. Anything is better than this shit hole.
Nice, my lineage documentation is too shoddy
I’d prefer farther away, but… at least I can drive and keep my stuff.
Just be out by October. Take the first one that says yes.
