Elections are run by the states. There's nothing Trump can really do, and even in red states their ability to tinker with rules is limited by the reality all elections for every office have to follow the same rules bsky.app/profile/real...

Yeah. Unless I’m mistaken, the American system of localized elections is unique to… America.

(Meaning that all the election-tampering advice Donnie is getting from his autocratic buddies is useless.)

I think people misunderstand how election tampering works outside of full on authoritarian regimes, it's only useful for tinkering at the edges and in tactically important locations, and even then it's iffy if an extra 5% of the population votes it basically doesn't work at all

👴🏼: "I like waffles." 👤: "Please tell me you understand that uncooked waffles are not edible. Please tell me you understand this. Please." Post less. Read more.

Reading and comprehending are two different things, Greg.

not even uncooked waffles, this is acting like it's absurd you're expressing an opinion on waffles when you don't have waffles *right now* like you couldn't possibly have any thoughts on the subject unless the waffle exists in your field of view.

Honestly that would have been preferable, because it suggests the person at least read the post! But responding to a post about "when Dems take over" with "Dems can't do any of this without taking over" just reflects truly low effort 😔 bsky.app/profile/time...

Woah, woah, Greg. Without some form of heat, chefs can't cook a waffle to make it edible. You can't talk about maple syrup if there's not sufficient heat for the waffle. Please tell me you understand!

This reflexive “Don’t blame the DEMMMMMMSSSSS!!!!1!!” is painful even for me, a deeply committed Democratic Party insider.

@gregdoucette.bsky.social Still, I hope state law enforcement in the states that are in play are prepared and have gamed out all the possible mischief.

the trumpy red states cancelling the midterms while the blue and purple states go ahead doesnt exactly *help* trump

They won't cancel elections though because they'd have to cancel all the state and local elections as well

canceling the election makes it too obvious what’s going on — you want low info people to still be able to tell themselves there isn’t a boot on their necks Hitler held (fake) elections throughout Nazi rule

Right, and the GOP is nowhere near the level of control they need for that. It might not even be achievable between social media and the scale of the US

They’re going to try (they already are) and I’d expect it not to work as well as they need it to

It does bother me that not one person ever pointed out that if the 2020 Presidential election was "stolen" then all those Senators and Reps in office aren't legitimate either Nobody went "Senator, does that mean you didn't win your election? You were on those same ballots you claim were altered"
