Trump scheint immer verzweifelter daran zu sein, das Stimmrecht einzuschränken

State conduct elections, what does he not get about that. Trump wants to control the vote so he can control the outcome. He can blow it out his orange ass, stand clear.

He could avoid the shame of getting stomped in the ballot box, impeached and removed if he’d just… Experience an event that took him out of office.

Everyone would love that.

You don’t threaten to hold the entire government hostage to pass emergency voter restrictions if you actually believe the majority of the country wants to vote for you

A lot of people are worried about that. Anything touching voting rights is going to set off a huge debate.

His days are numbered in more ways than one. All indications are that he’s screwed up the presidency so badly (again) that we are headed for a blue tsunami in 2026 and 2028. All of these incompetent losers are getting stomped out.

Every day I hear the same thing, his behavior raises doubts.

Of course he is, even though he lies like water coming out of a faucet he knows he messed up big time and that people are starting to realize they have a president who is a pedo.

I feel like they’re really really testing if there is some point where the amount of excrement hitting the turboprop is enough that even republicans are unable to cheat their way to a victory anymore.

Posted about it yesterday on advice animals that got me a 60 day ban 👍

Doesn’t seem like he is desperate at all. He definitely wants to restrict voting rights–heck, he wants to cancel elections altogether. Republicans will definitely lose the House if there are no voting restrictions.

But how desperate can you be if you have 15 different ways of accomplishing something?

There are 400+ new Republican-authored vote suppression laws passed throughout the country since 2021. The regular stuff like casting an overly wide net during voter roll purges.

Republicans have the votes to pass the SAVE Act–any semblance of a somewhat fair election ever occurring again is hanging on John Thune’s whim.

ICE surrounds enough polling places in enough precincts, and magically Republicans start winning all over the country. They slow down lines by asking everyone for multiple forms of ID, they pull people out of line and detain them for the day, they stand there and intimidate voters to leave the line themselves.

The Post Office doesn’t deliver ballots on time.

The FBI just goes in and seizes the ballots in places Trump doesn’t like the outcome of.

Georgia has a new law (I think) that goes something like „if there are allegations of fraud, Republicans can just take over the voting process.“ If they do this in Atlanta, bye bye Ossoff.

Trump declares that since we’re at war, we’re just suspending elections, and while the states actually hold each individual election, there is total chaos leading to artificially low turnout.

Johnson just indefinitely refuses to seat the new members of Congress even if they win their elections.

The ballot machines are now even more increasingly owned by MAGA supporters.

So how desperate are they really? They’re probably just shrugging and seeing which combination of methods they should use, and if those aren’t working, they’ll just go to Plan B and C and D.

It’s so cute that Americans still think there will be fair elections.

Won’t happen. At worst, it will all get caught up in courts after passed/EO’d.

For years, Americans have been told that the system isn’t broken, it’s just “in need of reform.” Yet every election cycle feels like a rerun: the same entrenched political figures, the same donor networks, the same corporate interests shaping outcomes long before voters ever reach the ballot box. Public trust in government has collapsed to historic lows, and the sense of powerlessness among ordinary citizens is no longer a fringe sentiment. It is mainstream. At some point, a nation must ask itself whether patchwork repairs are enough, or whether the structure itself needs to be rebuilt.

So here is a provocative question worth serious consideration: What if the United States hit the reset button? What if every member of every branch, executive, legislative, and judicial, were dismissed, and the country held fresh elections under strict, transparent safeguards designed to eliminate corporate and moneyed influence? Not a revolution, not a rupture, but a peaceful, democratic reboot aimed at restoring legitimacy to a system that no longer commands the confidence of its people.

The idea may sound radical, but the status quo is radical in its own way. A political class fortified by incumbency, gerrymandering, and unlimited fundraising has created a self reinforcing ecosystem where meaningful change is nearly impossible. Corporate PACs, dark money groups, and billionaire donors exert influence so pervasive that the average voter’s preferences barely register in policy outcomes. When a system becomes structurally incapable of correcting itself, citizens are justified in imagining alternatives.

A reboot would require more than simply clearing the roster. It would demand a new architecture of trust. Elections would need to be administered by an independent, nonpartisan authority insulated from political pressure. Campaign spending would be capped at levels that prevent arms races of advertising and influence. Corporate contributions and dark money channels would be banned outright. Every dollar of political funding would be disclosed in real time, visible to the public rather than buried in filings few people ever see.

A key part of this thought experiment is what happens to the people currently in power. The answer need not be punitive. They keep their wealth, their pensions, their homes, their reputations, everything they have legally earned. They simply walk away from public office and are permanently barred from returning. This is not about retribution; it is about clearing the slate without creating martyrs or fueling cycles of political revenge. By allowing former officials to exit with dignity and financial security, the reboot avoids the destabilizing spectacle of purges while ensuring that the next generation of leadership is genuinely new.

Critics will argue that such a reset is unrealistic, destabilizing, or even dangerous. But history offers examples of societies that have reconstituted their governments to regain legitimacy, peacefully, deliberately, and with broad public support. Nations emerging from corruption scandals, constitutional crises, or captured institutions have sometimes found that the only path forward is a clean slate. The United States, with its deep democratic traditions and robust civil society, is better positioned than most to undertake such a process thoughtfully.

Of course, risks exist. Any transition must avoid power vacuums, ensure continuity of essential services, and prevent opportunistic actors from exploiting uncertainty. But these challenges are not arguments against reform; they are arguments for designing it carefully. A temporary caretaker structure could maintain basic governance while new elections are prepared. Eligibility rules could prevent immediate re entry by those who helped create the current dysfunction. Oversight mechanisms could ensure that the reboot strengthens democracy rather than weakening it.

The deeper question is whether incremental reforms, tweaks to campaign finance rules, modest ethics changes, or new disclosure requirements, are enough to counteract decades of institutional drift. Americans have watched these reforms stall, get watered down, or be reversed entirely. The system has developed antibodies against change. A reboot is not about tearing down democracy; it is about reclaiming it from forces that have hollowed it out.

Imagining a clean slate is not an act of cynicism. It is not an act of revolution. It is an act of faith, faith that the American people, given a fair and uncorrupted process, can choose leaders who represent them rather than the donors who bankroll campaigns. Faith that democracy can renew itself when its institutions no longer serve the public good. Faith that legitimacy can be rebuilt not through slogans, but through structural honesty.

The United States does not need a revolution. It needs a reset. And perhaps the most patriotic thing Americans can do is to ask, openly and without fear, whether the government they have still reflects the nation they are.

JD Vance fully endorses Trump’s war plans. Remember that at the polls.

Restriction gonna be like.. Having to show ID? 😂
