Trump has said that the United States shouldn’t have midterm elections this year because midterm voters often vote against the president’s party. Democratic congressional leaders have said they expect Trump to disrupt and dispute the midterms.

“It’s some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don’t win the midterms,” Trump told Reuters in a recent interview. He then boasted that his presidency had accomplished so much that “when you think about it, we shouldn’t even have an election.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told the Associated Press that Democrats are concerned that Trump will try to prevent open and fair midterm elections.

Anyone ever hear of The Wilmington Insurrection? In which they had armed gunman guarding the polls who killed any black men who showed up to Vote, leading to a Democratic (Mind you this was before the Parties flipped) majority in what was normally a diehard Republican town.

Imagine that but it's ICE

Its why it was a mistake not kill every single confederate especially those at the top. Thank you for sharing.

America has always gone "Aww shucks" to homegrown fascists and thrown the book at everyone who truly cares about freedom beyond using the word as a Right Wing dog whistle.

I truly despise this country and wish I were Canadian

They believe in Bronze Age myths and think Trump is chosen by God.

If you look that's from July, he's down to about 40% approval now (maybe a bit lower). Still messed up, but at least people are slowly waking up about all this.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago

I thought he was 38%

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Please they will bitch and still vote Republican fuck polls. None of them are waking up.

Why not? Seems like what he says, goes now. Who's going to stop him?

America will stop him, judging by the record turnouts at the No Kings protests.
