“It wasn’t because Biden voters shifted to Trump—but because so many of them stayed home.”
We must not repeat this same mistake again. Remember to always vote in every election and consider volunteering to knock on doors. It can make a difference. There are elections that are decided with just a small number of votes.
The President has zero control over local voting regulations.
Look at the POTUS today having “zero control” over local things and still actual effects on those local things, from education to AI regulations. Man, sure would love a POTUS that understood the kind of power they have even if it’s not official and use it to slow down the march to fascism.
But I guess voters should get out and vote for Democrats who openly state that they are totally powerless to stop fascism because of the rules.
Trump has TRIED to restrict voting, but like I say, the President doesn’t have that power.

He says he’s trying again, LOL.

Yes, exactly. Trump is trying. The Democrats instead say “oh no!! The Republicans are doing stuff! Voters, only you can save us!”
Meanwhile the Ds collaborate with the Rs to temporarily suspend the filibuster so they can pass a spending bill. Or they concede all leverage on empty promises that the Rs have been breaking for 30 years. Or they send their hopes and prayers and raise a fist on the steps of Congress but do abso-fucking-lutely nothing that materially changes the trajectory of the fascist wave.
But yes, blame the voters who can’t even afford health insurance in 2026 or who have been food insecure for years or who can’t buy homes or who have to pay 50% of their income in rent.
It’s the VOTERS who are to blame, of course.
