trump has to keep bannon close because they are both on the epstein files, bannon was likely a liasons, trump does not want bannon to suddenly rat him out if he gets charged.
I just found out that this cunt is the reason why Australia doesn’t have a sovereign wealth fund and robbed us of a decent PM.
What I would give to have him and his ilk stuff head into anus like a human centipede and slowly die while being live streamed.
You’re gonna try to steal the elections. Got it. Thanks for confirming in advance.
Every accusation is a confession from these fuckers. Everyone should know that by now and everyone should take this very seriously.
Edit: maybe stash a maga hat hidden somewhere, if you see ICE approaching to possibly arrest you and prevent you from voting, put the hat on.
I think their logic is that it would prevent illegal aliens from voting and I guess that’s how they thought the earlier election was stolen. Some probably genuinely think that
It genuinely was the talking point for years on Fox “News”. And what we heard was some Dem saying “there’s no election fraud whatsoever!” Which is obviously bullshit on its face because of course there’d have to be some. I’ve genuinely seen it happen, red and blue alike, personally, and I’m legally blind! So the claim there was none was an “admission” that they were doing it, yup!
If you don’t ever come out of that tank, you buy that bullshit. An excuse for everything, the favorite being “they always lie, and they always repeat this particular lie, against everyone.” Y’know, and then we have e.g. the Epstein files coverup which still manages to prove that at least some of those “lies about everyone” absolutely were not lies. Congress has access to tons of classified info you and I don’t get so … they knew.
As for the rest of us? Maybe one didn’t see him for what he was in 2016. Propaganda is a terrible thing. Maybe somehow one voted for him in 2020. IDK how they ignored Jan 6th when he lost (I sure couldn’t!) I really don’t know how one might vote for him in 2024 either.
It’s now 2026. If someone still can’t see the problem with the concentration camps, the “100% above the law” enforcers who can gun down people just because threatening all our allies planning several invasions at once, tearing down the White House, stealing the Resolute Desk and Eisenhower’s sword and whatever else, slapping his name on everything and breaking laws to do it, erasing pre-Trump history (including pesky parts of the Constitution), literally running Nazi slogans on social media and government websites, and talking about people “poisoning the blood of America” … If you don’t see the problem yet, the only rational conclusion is that you don’t want to see it. We’re past the point of propaganda now.

You don’t want to wear overt political clothing to the polls, there are some laws against that. I would recommend instead to wear conservative leaning clothing, I mean buy a fucking bass pro fishing hat and some overalls with some red wing boots and wear some flannels or Carhartt.
The rules don’t matter if you’re on the Right. If you show up and they ask you to take it off, you’re probably at a safe polling place. If they don’t ask you to remove it, vote unmolested.
They don’t even need to do a single thing other than stand there, and that would still be stealing the election by instilling fear into people and causing some to decide not to vote.
It won’t matter.
We can see by the elections that have taken place so far in 2025 and 2026 that they’ve angered enough Republican voters to kill their chances, whether those people flipped to Democrat or opted to stay home. Dems have flipped something like two dozen districts in the last year, several of which Donald won by double digits in 2024.
Doesn’t mean they won’t try. It is likely they can’t ascertain the scope of how badly they’ve pissed off their own voters though. This is likely to do with the fact that Donald and his inner circle can’t be bothered to take a sobering look at their own internal polling data.
If Republicans can’t rely on the states that voted red in 2024, and they evidently cannot, they can’t adequately strategize in the way Bannon is describing.
And if Republicans opt to escalate their aggression even more, it just pisses off more voters.
I think it far more likely Donald tries to do something on affordability that he can brand with his name before the election. He’ll gladly add another trillion to the national debt and send checks to voters if he thinks it’ll let him grift a few more billion while he’s still able to put two words together.
Everyone also said that there was no way Trump would get elected a second time after LITERALLY EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED since he announced he was going to run and here we are.
I don’t think that’s accurate.
There was a significant portion of the Democratic base that was dissatisfied with Biden/Harris and made it abundantly clear. Remember when Obama was dispatched to campaign events to lecture young black men? Or when Clinton was dispatched to campaign events to lecture angry Palestinian Americans?
Also, it was a sore point with many voters that Biden was nominated even though the entire Democratic Party seemingly knew he had dementia.
For my part, I think the idea that ‘everyone’ thought Donald couldn’t be re-elected was just because so many consume information only from their algorithm on these shitty corporate platforms like FB/TikTok/Twitter. That algorithm will figure out what you want to see and then construct a reality for you around it, so maybe you saw that Harris was unbeatable.
For my part, I predicted she’d lose. She ran a campaign that was basically opposite that of Mamdani, so it wasn’t hard to tell. You can’t tell people who are living in storage units and working three jobs just to afford groceries that you won’t change anything and expect to win. To become president you have to be the candidate of change. In 2024 (even though he was lying about everything) that candidate was Donald.
maybe stash a maga hat hidden somewhere, if you see ICE approaching to possibly arrest you and prevent you from voting, put the hat on.
That’s legitimately genius and hilarious at the same time.
Or perhaps common sense and depressing.
We’re gonna steal the election through force and manipulation because democrats keep stealing the election through getting more votes 😩
To paraphrase another comment I saw the other day, “the Democrats must be cheating, because we’re cheating and they still beat us!”
I’m starting to think that a one-party BUT multi-tendency socialist system may be the solution.
Does Marxism have a solution
Paper ballots or it didn’t happen. Fuck any machine that is on a network otherwise you get what you paid for.
No no
That way, Republicans won’t be able to cheat anymore. Rule #1: Republicans must be able to cheat or they won’t win a single election anymore, ever
Ya, guaranteed victory.
“We‘re gonna have ICE surround the polls…We’ll never again allow an election to be stolen.”
The word is ‘fair’. You’ll never again allow an election to be fair. Get it right, Steve.
There are 22,000 ICE agents, and there were 94,000 polling stations in the 2022 midterms. (Down from 200,000 in 2018 but that’s another whole mess) so at this rate they will have exactly ONE agent in every 4th polling station or so.
We can take 'em.
They only need to put them in minority areas of marginal states.
The rest of it is rigged already.
The rest of it is rigged already.
There are few more harmful things we can say to each other right now than the implication that everything is rigged and people’s votes don’t matter.
The states are huge, they are hard to rig, or we wouldn’t have seen the successes we have already.
While I agree about the “everything is rigged already” problem, the cold hard fact is that 80% of the election is considered to be decided before the first vote is ever cast, and I think Blackmist knows that, and discussing the electoral college suggests that … yeah, kinda. Which makes your otherwise helpful admonishment harmful too, because it doesn’t dissuade them of that view. In fact, a cynical reading of what you said is, “we know that, but you’re not supposed to say it out loud.”
What I’d recommend instead is pointing out that the people who assume 80% of the vote is irrelevant are failing to account for political sea change events on a large scale. They’re rare. Very rare, actually. But they happen and we’re kinda in one. So while 80% of the vote is already a given in most elections, it’s not a given in this one.
I upvoted Blackmist for his comment about ICE only needing to hit a minority of polling places to create fear, because that’s true. And you as well because you’re right that a message of hopelessness is harmful. I hope you both come away ready to defend the idea that this is an election that can actually erase and rewrite the status quo in America. The focus in the primary season needs to be getting strong candidates and flushing some weak-ass Dems, and then fighting like hell to get as many Dems elected as possible to avoid squandering people’s sheer outrage at the violence, lawlessness, and nothing short of Nazi saluting fascism in this country.
The electoral college is the rigging. The voting isn’t rigged. The outcome is.
They don’t care about Minoritytown, Alabama. That state goes red no matter what.
Similarly, they’re not going to intimidate all of Maryland. That is already going blue. It would be a waste of time to try.
Your votes in these areas are counted, but they don’t change the outcome. The popular vote is meaningless.
The big reason why the electoral college has “rigged things” (aside from Jefferson fucking things up, but that’s an argument for another time) is that the vote of so many has been so predictable. They only really worry about the places the outcome is likely to be volatile. Except in this election people are so pissed off that the outcome of the whole country is at least fuzzy, or can be if we work to make it that way. If they think they’re gonna goround Texas, they need to send people down there to intimidate. But they don’t. They might. In fact they’re likely to.
Everything’s in play if we make it all be in play. That’s on us, so let’s make it so sending goons to a few places won’t suppress the nation’s will. This isn’t even a presidential election, so the electoral college isn’t a factor. We can fix some of this shit right now.
Please help us do that! I’m treating this election like our lives depend on it, because they do.
The states are huge, they are hard to rig, or we wouldn’t have seen the successes we have already.
I don’t subscribe to doomerism and I resent those who do.
They probably won’t send them to the safe republican seats.
how many predominantly Latino and black areas?
We can take 'em.
Perhaps it will backfire and the ICE outside polling places will make people mad and vote against Republicans.
ICE will make sure that doesn’t happen
They will definitely need to check your genitals too if you are female presenting.
So the Italian film, “Saló or the 120 Days of Sodom”, turns out to be correct about the fascists, even if the director, Pier Paolo Pasolini, said it was a metaphor. He was believed to have been killed by fascists because of the director’s anti-fascism.
And the democrats will vote to fund ice in 10 days or whatever.
They’ll strategically negotiate the vote for after midterms. Really it’s your fault if we lose.
All the companies and governments that support Israel genocide are supporting ICE …
How did the racist right get coopted by a gay mexican and an isreali fund jew. Like I feel like this world is crazy.
Are they going to follow us into the booth? Don’t be intimidated
They might detain brown citizens for 24 hours on election day.
They are gonna make sure the votes are counted correctly though.
They don’t have the capacity. That’s like saying you’re going to make pancakes with a bunch of hammers.
This hump has all the charm of an unwiped asshole.
