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.
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.
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.
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.
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’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.

It won’t matter.

I don’t think that’s accurate.

That’s legitimately genius and hilarious at the same time.
Or perhaps common sense and depressing.
