Trump plans to illegally suppress the vote in the Midterm Elections

In a message posted to his Truth Social account, president Donald Trump has announced a plan which will surely repress the vote in the Midterm Elections:

“there will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!”

Given Trump’s dire polling, however, simply repressing the vote may not be enough.

Trump thanks you for your “attention”

The president’s post reads in full:

The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired.

I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future. There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not! Also, the People of our Country are insisting on Citizenship, and No Mail-In Ballots, with exceptions for Military, Disability, Illness, or Travel.

Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

He has, in his own words:

searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject.

We’ll be honest…we’re not sure what this means. At the same time, we’re confident he hasn’t done it.

Can you really imagine the tycoon-turned-politician searching the depths of anything? The man has all the depth of a contact lens.

Recently, Trump claimed the US is the only country which allows mail in ballots. This may shock you, but the truth is actually somewhat different to what president Trump suggests:

“We’re the only country with Mail In Ballots”

He has also threatened to deploy his masked ICE goons to disrupt voting:

There are 39 other countries with mail-in voting.
Trump’s plan is simple. If you block mail-in ballots, all ICE has to do is disrupt, intimidate and assault at polling places in blue areas to insure Trump remains King forever.

If we were worried about upcoming elections, we’d probably focus on appearing electable. Trump, meanwhile, is spending all day, every day, ranting about how unfair everything is.

Voters aren’t stupid, though, which is why his polling looks like this (as per the Economist):

Cataclysmic

In addition to the above, we also have Trump’s (potentially criminal) handling of the Epstein Files. All in all, his party could see a real reckoning in the Midterm Elections. In fact, we’ve already seen what that could look like:

Democrats didn’t just see a 30-point shift in Texas and flip a State Senate seat red to blue: they did it while being outspent 20-to-1. This will send shockwaves through the Republican Party. pic.twitter.com/2UQI4v8Bls

If the Democrats win big in the Midterms, Donald, and his cronies may begin to face accountability. The big question is whether the Democrats have the backbone to investigate Trump’s obvious wrongdoing, or whether they’ll let him wriggle out of it like president Joe Biden did.
