Trump also lies, cheats, and steals, and hates it when people do that to him too
Trump’s lies have very little truth in them.
Just like senators and the whole government apparatus have universal healthcare but it’s no good for the American people.
34 felony convictions and still votes.
The crazy thing is that there is ZERO consideration of the optics here. This abject hypocrisy is transparent to Trump. Of course he can vote by mail, it’s only cheating if people don’t vote for him.
Trumps extreme narcissism prevents him from even realizing that this is problematic. To him, there’s no issue.
To be fair the media gives him a pass on fucking everything too.
He figured out how to break the system: generate so much shit day in and day out that even professionals give up trying to report it.
There is no hypocrisy. The election lie stuff is what the fascist think tank has defined as a component of their takeover strategy. It is as separate in their mind from reality as what a character in a book is eating for dinner versus what they themselves are eating for dinner.
One of the largest states utilizing mail in ballots is Utah, firmly red. But its ok when they do it
People live in Utah?
Like… by choice?
He says that voting by mail is election fraud, so he is committing election fraud.
Left leaning people who would vote against him, presumably, vote by mail more than conservatives do. That’s what I imagine the real motivation is.
That’s literally 100% of it.
Are Republican communities not in more rural enclaves though? It’s like shooting off your nose to spite your face. The real reason is they probably own the election process in red states already so they fake it anyways.
There is a lot that goes into the answer to that question.
Some of it has to do with Republicans tending to emphasize election day turnout, while Democrats trend to try to increase turnout by emphasizing the convenience of mail in voting.
Urban areas were also the first to relax the rules for mail in voting, requiring less or no explanation for the absentee vote. Partially this is to combat long lines and congestion that urban areas face at pollng sites that rural communities just don’t have.
People who’ve successfully used the process before are more likely to do so again, and urban areas were there first ones it was easy to do it in. This means there’s a skew from multiple fronts regarding voting habits.
Partisan effects of education, geography, and policy - particularly Trump’s erosion of trust in absentee voting - contribute to a person not trying the absentee process in the first place. It less created than amplified behavior patterns that already existed.
