  1. He shouldn’t even be allowed to run for president for all kinds of reasons. He should be in jail. This is so incredibly scary and unnerving and Republicans just let him run his mouth!

  2. trump is like some kind of mythological demon that embodies all the worst qualities of humanity. Vote Blue or never vote again seems pretty clear.

  3. All other issues are now subordinate. Trump and his evil acolytes are LITERALLY out to destroy democracy. Vote D for democracy, or R to reject it. You pick.

  4. Remember, remember the 5th of November and abort Trump at the polls!

  5. They published a 900 page manifesto about this. Idk why people don’t understand that they mean what they say.

  6. Is that part of Project 2025, being a dictator, or king, or all of the above?

  7. In November, you can vote for America’s next president or its first dictator.

  8. I like him because hE’s a sTrAiGhT ShOoTeR

    Proceeds to write 500 words explaining what he means by a single sentence

  9. Yesterday, former President Donald Trump told a group of supporters that they won’t have to vote again if they elect him to the presidency. “You won’t have to do it anymore,” Trump said at the Turning Point Believers’ Summit in Florida. “It’ll be fixed; it’ll be fine; you won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians.”

    Trump’s remarks represent an extraordinary departure from democratic norms in the United States—rarely if ever has a major party’s presidential candidate directly stated his aim to make elections meaningless, a notorious hallmark of autocracy.

  10. Your country is so fucked.

    Like.. everyone blames trump… but almost half your country seems to be obsessed and in love with him.

    The very fact this person was and has a chance to be the president again is beyond fucked.

  11. >Harris’ campaign responded on Saturday.

    >”When Vice President Harris says this election is about freedom she means it,” the campaign said. “Our democracy is under assault by criminal Donald Trump: After the last election Trump lost, he sent a mob to overturn the results.”

    >The statement continued:

    >”This campaign, he has promised violence if he loses, the end of our elections if he wins, and the termination of the Constitution to empower him to be a dictator to enact his dangerous Project 2025 agenda on America. Donald Trump wants to take America backward, to a politics of hate, chaos, and fear – this November America will unite around Vice President Kamala Harris to stop him.”

  12. The obvious read of this is that he’s gonna become a dictator or suspend elections once he’s in power, but the funnier, and perhaps even more likely read of this is that he simply doesn’t care who his voters vote for if it can’t be him.

  13. Yeah because he plans on doing what Putin does so elections are not legit.

  14. How is that a carrot? Why would Americans want to never vote again? Fucking dumb.

  15. If you support a dictatorship, please move to a country that already has one

  16. Voting matters, I will vote, most people on this sub will vote. I’m not worried about that. I’m worried about things like the Georgia board of elections that I heard this morning. The GOP plans on just taking it. Why you ask? Because fuck you, that’s why…

  17. “He’s Joking”

    “He doesn’t mean it”

    “He says it just to upset the libs”

    “You guys don’t understand, he means he’ll fix it so good they Dems can’t break it”.

    How many pretzels his base has to twist into to make excuses for this man is fucking amazing.

  18. I do wonder if this might finally be the one comment that ends it. Coupled with “Dictator on day one”. There’s just no way. Even some of MAGA has to be rethinking. He can’t back peddle on it and it’s going to air relentlessly.

    God I hope Kamala picks Mark Kelly. That is the fucking death knell for MAGA. The guy is the personification of a bald eagle.

  19. He tells it like it is, but also, let me tie myself in knots trying to explain what he means…

  20. Dude, the thing is – the people that are voting for this guy are so fucking dumb, they are literally like in front of this dude – and seeing these things, and STILL want to sign away freedom and safety for themselves and everyone else too.

    It is seriously at the point, where you can ask these maga fucks whether there is ANYTHING anything at all that could convince them to not vote for this douche.

    There isn’t anything. This dudes cult is devoid of all thought and reasoning, they would literally vote to drive the earth into the sun, because they can hardly fucking read.

  21. Every major news outlet needs to run this multiple times a day, every day, until the election.

  22. I think you’re seeing in real time the cognitive decline of a megalomaniac. It almost boarder’s on psychotic delusions. He could literally take a dump on an American flag on live tv and nothing would happen.

  23. The unfortunate part is, way too many Americans find the idea of never having to waited again attractive.

  24. The media really has collectively let us down this election cycle.

  25. And people wonder why when non MAGA people say “democracy is in danger” if this guy is elected by the blind Americans!!

  26. Americans, you were warned. Actually, you’ve had about 1,000 explicit warnings over the past 10 years.

  27. I love that the argument against Trump saying that he isn’t a Christian is “no no, the candidate was just unintelligibly slurring his words”

  28. Where are the voters who said “he says what he means”?

  29. Right wingers saying that we are taking it out of context… I’m like, what he is saying is the context. lol 😂

  30. Am I the only one who thinks making a media circus taking Trump out of context makes it easier for the media to have the real policy issues Trump is going to cause get lost the the crowd so to speak….

  31. I always vote 3rd party because I refuse to be complicit in the 2 party system. This quote finally convinced me that I need to vote blue this year.

  32. “Trump tells it like it is.”

    “I’m not Christian.”

    “He didn’t mean that.”

  33. Magas, choose one or all:

    A) He never said that.

    B) He was joking.

    C) He meant something else.

    D) I don’t listen to that.

    E) Well, _________ (Biden, Hunter, Clinton, etc) said _________(something unrelated)!
