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.

    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.

    This is such a key point. Foreign actors are likely to benefit from having the country run by idiot Republicans. And if you consider billionaires to be part of that group - foreign actors (and they do, since they will surely pull up stakes, take all their money and go somewhere else if they must) they have a lot of the same motivation to have an inept government.

      Exactly. That’s why people are downvoting this uncomfortable truth. The ‘left’ doesn’t believe they also are targets for the bullshit Russia and Israel do to this country.

          The left is equally targeted as the right by propaganda. They just won’t admit to it.

          The propaganda that the left is targeted by is purity testing, ‘voting doesn’t matter’ stuff, and people starting infighting.

          And it works shockingly well, as you can literally see all this in almost any progressive political post.
