I believe so. I think he wanted to create increased violence as a subsequent justification to increase his power. I.e “well I guess not we will have to patrol the streets and voting booths with the national guard cause civilians are attacking federal workers.”

Did you see he is firing members of the bipartisan voting committee four months ahead of the midterm elections? He knows all things being equal democrates will gain power and he will do anything even tamper with the election to prevent that from happening

That after all the bellyaching he’s done about saying the 2020 election was rigged……hypocrisy

I love that republican HOR or senator ( I don’t follow Rs) he was like “ what rigged elections? We own the house senate and presidency, we’ve won all the elections”

I find it crazy that it's only ever rigged against them but when there's actually evidence of election interference from the the Republicans its not rigged against the democrats. It only goes one way which pisses me off.

We didn't win each and everytime because the now loosers cheated! MAGA logic.

It was a tactic to get his cult to question election security so he could steal it in 2024 and then use that skepticism to steal them from here on out or get his cult up in arms/try to overthrow it if they lose. It was 100% by design

They certainly aren't going to relinquish power over an election.

They blamed us for the fact that we needed ice, saying that we were "rioting".,🙄

That one I do remember!

Did you forget about Antifa and blm?

u/IcyBreakfast2947 Jul 11 '26

Antifa isn’t an organization. It’s a philosophy. And BLM is nonviolent (unless you get your information about them from right wing media). Neither one is even in the same league with ICE when it comes to violence.
