You can ignore Trump slyly hinting to the Lord's chosen that he just might call off the next election.
"Four more years, you know what? It'll be fixed, it'll be fine, you won't have to vote any more, my beautiful Christians."
But don't ignore this: Trump won't be calling off the election because he doesn't have to. The Fix for 26 is already in.
The Republican plan is to win next year's election this year. Yes, the voting will be bent, jacked and hammered this year, 2025, one year before the official voting. Because this is the year of The Great Purge.
And if The Great Purge doesn't do the trick, Republicans are ramping up other vote suppression tactics they rolled out to win 2024, including a private army of MAGA-nauts who challenged over a million voters' ballots in 2024 and plan on way more by the 2026 midterm.
