“The Republicans should say, we want to take over, we should take over the voting, the voting in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting,” Trump told Dan Bongino, the former deputy director of the FBI, in a podcast appearance.

On several occasions, Trump has pledged to change how the country votes, zeroing in on methods he falsely claims lead to fraudulent voting. In August, he said he was going to “lead a movement” to end mail-in ballots, and vowed to sign an executive order banning them, in addition to voting machines. He did not end up signing the order.

The president also kicked off a rare mid-decade redistricting campaign intended to help Republicans win additional US House seats in November’s midterm elections.

    I mean, that’s what I’m saying exactly. We agree then, lol.

    You said it yourself. The peaceful protests in Minnesota have continued. They had elections and voted blue, despite the city crawling with ICE and other federal agents.

    Continue protesting, calling your reps, and voting. In Minnesota they said “we will crawl over broken glass to vote against the GOP” and they put their money where their mouths were.

      Then my apologies if I misinterpreted you. I’m just sick of doomers using “all is lost” as an excuse to sit on their asses and refuse to take any action, and as a politically active individual it really rustles my jimmies.

        Having foreign actors try and get us to bring guns and shoot ICE rustles my jimmies. They are trying to cause chaos.
