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.
They’re as bad or worse than MAGAts.
But “something something genocide blah blah blah”.
Anyone that thinks genocide in another part of the world is worth sacrificing democracy in their own country is a fool not worth speaking to.
They are worse in my mind.
They know trump is bad. They know the actions of the republican party are bad.
They, in their ‘wisdom’ are too stubborn, entitled, or lazy, to actually do something against these forces. Instead, they’d rather spend their time online evangelizing their own pet causes and attacking anyone who actually does anything against these people.
Yep. Fuck these types and their moralizing and their purity tests and their little gotcha games they think they are winning. Infuriating.
They act like some perfect candidate/party will just emerge if they stamp their feet hard enough.
Sure, the redcaps are dangerous and annoying in their own way - I would imagine a lot of them are functionally illiterate - ~20% of American adults are functionally illiterate.
^ From Patheos. I’ve seen others claiming about 21%. I’ll say 20% just to be conservative. In any case, it is bad and I bet a sizeable amount of people are terrible at critical thinking and/or spotting logical fallacies, as well. Not to mention those with overactive amygdalas creating far too much emotionalism and a thirst of simple “solutions” driving them into the arms of Republicans. It’s hard to get them to accept basic reality, never mind actually having some understanding.
But a whole lot of these often overly-online people don’t seem to fall into this nexus per se. They seem to have galaxy-brained their way into thinking they are this rare breed of the truly morally superior creatures and no one else has ever noticed the flaws of the Democratic party/certain candidates. 🙄
You’re spot on man. One side has the illiterate, and the other side has people who agree with stuff ‘in principle’ but refuse to actually vote.
It’s literally no wonder Democrats move to the center, because rational republicans have joined the party. And what’s more is those rational republicans generally adapt to the party, and they don’t pull them to the right.
The other fucking issue that infuriates me is that not every district is in NY where you can elect AOC. I love AOC, but she’s flat out not electable in a lot of the country. Guys like Talrico are just as valuable as her, because they’ll probably agree on 70% of the platform.
The terminally online Left refuses to vote for anyone unless they agree with every single point they make. And this is only exacerbated by countries like Israel and Russia who want Republicans in office and not Democrats.
