Donald Trump announced Sunday that Republicans plan to dispense a large “Election Integrity Army” to every single state for the 2026 midterms – invoking his debunked claims that the United States does not have fair elections.
In a message on his Truth Social platform the president appeared to attribute his “Historic Election in 2024” to the fact that the Republican National Committee sent thousands of volunteers across the country to poll watch or assist with election litigation through a volunteer program.
More like “election preventing army”. Trump and the GOP can no longer afford free and democratic votes.
Really… The world is watching you yankers. At this point. If the un is not controlling your election. We know it’s rigged. And you are completely useless. Won’t stand up for yourselves. And the sooner we convince our governments of this the best. The USA is over.
What exactly should random people living paycheck to paycheck do about our entire government being controlled by fascists?
We are already protesting and striking.
Our leaders have failed us. The good ones failed to stand up to the bad ones, and the bad ones are in charge now and control the media, the military, and the Supreme Court.
You want Dave from Burger King and Emmett from Starbucks to resort to guerilla warfare?
Should we be committing harkiri in the streets?
You think you’re angry?
Imagine being here, watching it happen face to face, arguing with a never ending army of brainwashed people who get off on cruelty because they’d rather burn it all down than let immigrants and trans people live in peace.
To be honest, that’s what the American people have always done throughout history. When the elite got out of hand, the people revolted and successfully brought them down. So yes, Dave from Burger King should be there in the streets too. At the biggest anti-Trump protest the US had so far, only 2% of the American people were present. And those who were present waved signs for exactly one day and then went home. That is simply insufficient.
Apparently lie down and watch facism bloom. Y’all’ve already let it take root and flourish.
It turns out that this second amendment I keep hearing about was not worth the paper it’s written on either.
What did German citizens wish they’d done a hundred years ago?
Disobedience is the key, it would have worked back in Germany and it would work today. Teach your children political disobedience, because not enough adults know how anymore.
Right, lay down. That’s what some of the largest protests in united states’ history are. Protests that are getting larger by the month. “Laying down”.
You aren’t in any position to criticise, keyboard warrior.
Maybe it’s time for you Muricans to stop protesting the Murican way and learn a little bit from 1, your own history circa 250 years ago 2, french history from roughly the same period
Very, very interesting that you’re advocating for civil war. I wonder whose interests that could possibly serve.
When tyrants don’t leave on their own accord, what are you to do? Protest even harder while they laugh from their helicopters and private jets, surrounded by private security, isolating themselves from the people they try to rule? What good will protesting harder do?
Not just some of the largest, the largest. No Kings makes up the top three
I think a lot of people don’t realize just how gigantic the US is and how much of a logistical nightmare it is to organize nation wide things, and how relatively little small groups of people can do to the federal government
The criticism of not starting soon enough is valid; this kind of mass action should have happened earlier. But it is happening now and people like the mentioned keyboard warrior dismissing that are hindering not helping
Earth Day, 1970, 20 million. Latest No Kings was 8 million. But still, No Kings accounts for 3 of the top 4.
As to starting earlier, you said yourself it’s a logistical nightmare. I would argue people got organised PDQ, all things considered.
The problem with all your American bullshit is that it leaks out into the rest of the world and fucks it up too.
Yes, collateral damage is to be expected when a superpower gets destabilised. Why are you ignoring the fact that there was documented election interference on a massive scale? Why are you ignoring the total takeover of our government by hostile actors? Are you trying to paper over all of that for some particular purpose?
Moreover, you’re mostly addressing the victims of the fascists here. We’re not actually in charge of the country right now.
Hey buddy, are you in the west? Because the last I checked, not a single western nation has actually economically and politically pariahed the United States. You work on your government, many here are doing about all we can short of throwing our lives away and we could use more support.
FYI it’s illegal to post soldiers at polling stations in the US
Yes, and they know it, but they don’t care. They believe in the might is right. People need to wake up. The rule of law is over.
Show me one example of trump giving a fuck about the legality of something he wants
As an alternative we’ll accept someone holding him accountable for an illegal action.
It won’t be soldiers. It’ll be Proud Boys and your local bigot embracing the opportunity to harass women, minorities, LGBTQ (or people they assume are)… basically anyone that doesn’t look MAGA material. It’s an open call for mob intimidation under the auspices of “protecting election integrity”.
Legality doesn’t seem to be an issue for the current administration.
But ICE officers are fine - we’ll just let the roberts/thomas totally legitimate supreme court decide.
FYI that doesn’t matter anymore and isn’t going to magically course correct when they have nothing to fear from a dociled populace.
Lol following the law is rules for thee, not for me
Well, we had the chance to save our democracy, and we blew it because of eggs. Say, how’s that affordability crisis looking nowadays?
Paid $4.50/gal for gas at a fucking Costco and my haircut costs 2 times what it did a year ago so I’d say Trump’s nailing it ~ elon
I just spent around $40 on two burgers, fries, and a shake at Five Guys… So bad. It’s looking bad.
But this would have happened no matter who won though since they’re both bought by AIPAC /s
Nah. Netanyahu has been trying to convince every US president for the last couple of decades, to do this…and this is the only time one of them has been stupid enough to fall for it.
If this “army” is anything like ICE we all know what that means: voter intimidation and violence.
MAGA is attacking election integrity from several ends. We always knew this was going to happen if he gets re-elected. And with “we” I mean not enough people to matter, apparently.
Time to use those 2A rights y’all yanks always scream about.
A bunch of failsons with a fourth grade reading level patrolling polling stations with AR-15s. What could be more American than that?
People stopping the gravy seals from fucking with voters. I will be doing my (probably) non-violent part.
History rarely repeats, but it often rhymes.
Aren’t midterm primaries like next week?
