Voting isn’t about winning. They’re going to fuck with it. It’s about forcing their hand. There are still a lot of people who will turn on them if they prominently destroy free elections. We need to create a situation that can’t be denied, particularly by the military brass, that they’re breaking their oath of office. It’s already obvious, but it isn’t coup levels of obvious.
If they were canceling elections why haven’t they started yet?
Republicans now have a one vote margin in the House thanks to Democrats winning regular and special elections over the last year.
Democrats have flipped 20% of Republican seats, Republicans have flipped none.
We’ve been seeing an unprecedented slide to the left in elections over and over in 2025, including one in Texas over the weekend that went D+14 and just two years ago was a solid Trump district at R+17. That’s a 31 point shift to the left. In Texas.
There have been dozens of shifts of that magnitude.
Not to mention the several Democratic governors and AGs that have been elected - and those are the ones who challenge the administration in court (and have been winning most of those challenges by the way).
Elections have consequences, and they know that too. If they were going to mess with them they would and should have done so already.
We’re talking about elections, which decide who is on power to decide whether those other things you brought up are allowed to happen.
If you want to give up your agency, roll over and show your belly, and comply in advance, then fine. Don’t vote. I will be both voting and working the polls in November.
It’s incredible that americans still believe that they can win peacefully.

They’re likely right.
Midterms are going to hit the Republicans hard, they barely have a majority as it stands.
Have you been watching any of the elections we’ve had in the past year?
Have you been watching the title of this post?
Oh no, a post title.

If they want to build concentration camps, why haven’t they started yet?if they want to deport law-abiding citizens, why haven’t they started yet?if they want to create their own masked thug army, why haven’t they started yet?Anyone who’s been paying attention should KNOW that “hasn’t happened yet” does NOT necessarily mean that they won’t do something.

Which is why it’s important not to rest on “they haven’t started yet”
That’s the OPPOSITE of what I’m advocating.
Fuck that. I’ve never missed a vote since I first became old enough 25 years ago and I’m not planning on starting now.
he wants you to
18m old account spouting shit misinformation, okay!
Spouting, got ya. 7mo old account, 15,000 posts and comments - named in reference to “evil robots” and “bait” 🤔
isn’t quokk.au the all anti-US instance?
Oh look fake news from the pathological lying pedophile.
That’s the thing: the only time he doesn’t lie is when bragging about illegal things he’s done or about to do.
You don’t believe he will fuck with the elections, even after saying it, and all the other shit he’s done?
Of course they will. It’s called voter suppression, and it’s been happening in this country since we’ve been a country. Welcome to America.
Grow up and take charge of your future. No one’s coming to save you but yourself.
If I were american, I’d probably be dead by now…
