I honestly quite afraid they are gonna rig the fuck outta the mid-terms somehow. I realize I have little to no evidence to support that, but doesn't mean it couldn't still happen under this regime.

You’re not the only one.

2024 seemed to be rigged at the top only. That's how we ended up with so many people voting a straight Democratic ticket, except for HitlerPig at the top, which Dems have been trying to convince us is perfectly normal, which it isn't.

Its one thing to rig the vote in one race in seven swing states, it's another to rig 435 Congressional races around the country. That would be nearly impossible. It would take multiple operatives in every district, and at some point, somebody would squeal.

The Senate races pose other challenges, although they only really have to identify a handful of close races, and make sure those fall to MAGA.

The MAGA Nazis can't afford to let either chamber flip, or the Democrats will have control of investigative committees with subpoena and arrest powers. If that starts, it will end with prison terms for many.

So I'm convinced that they will "suspend" elections using Martial Law, or the Insurrection Act, or some other legal atrocity.

What. The dems saying that’s normal? Where!

They’re stupid enough to do it, but I doubt they’ll get all the buy in they’d need.

Where? Elise Stefanik told that fable at the beginning of her Democratic response to HitlerPig's 2025 State of the Union Address, and then Amy Klobuchar was doing the talk show rounds over the last couple of weeks saying it as well. That's two specific examples, six months apart, and I've heard others talk about it in between as if it is a perfectly normal conclusion.

Okay well two Democrats out of 45.1 Million, so sure, "the Dems have been trying to convince us it's normal" okay.

I haven't seen it, I'd call those two idiots, and I haven't heard it, but if those are indeed verifiable examples you could use it for hyperbolic effect and not to be taken seriously.
