“I think all Americans — Democrat, Republican — should agree that we are the greatest country in the history of the world. We should have the safest and most secure elections in the history of the world,” Leavitt said.
“And what the president will be speaking about tonight will show you that perhaps that is not the case, and we need to make some adjustments moving forward, including the SAVE America Act,” she added, referring to the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act.
Leavitt pushed back against questions from reporters about why Trump won’t let go of the claims that the 2020 election was stolen and that he views this as more important than the economy and conflict with Iran.
“You’re jumping ahead to a conclusion in the speech before even hearing it yourself,” she said. “I think that everyone should tune in tonight, including the people in this room, and you should report on the president’s speech and the findings that he is going to reveal in the speech with a little bit of honesty and a little bit of integrity because … it will shock you if you have an honest eye listening to the president tonight.”
There are 4 boxes as related to a healthy democracy: the soapbox, ballot box, jury box, and ammo box.
The jury box didn’t work out with Judge Canon protecting him. The soapbox isn’t being healthy with how controlled it is. Now they’re going to fuck with the ballot box; a power reserved to the states. The only things that even allows the feds anywhere near that are the 15th, 19th, and 25th Amendments.
Now they’re trying to go beyibd that and take away the ballot box? That will ultimately leave only 1 box left.
I mean, he’s doing a lot more than just lying. He flubbed 2018 because he wasn’t prepared for the popular backlash to his first two years. But now he’s got a new crew of pencil necked shits who are much more serious about a Permanent Republican Majority than the last gang.
What worries me about 2026 isn’t that Trump’s going to try to steal the election. Time and again, the GOP has demonstrated that they are willing to do whatever it takes to manufacture the appearance of popular approval. What worries me is that the opposition party’s response to each new encroachment is to just roll the fuck over and blame voters for not voting hard enough.
Whether it’s Operation Eagle Eye or EagleAI, J6 or the Brooks Brothers’ Riot, the Democrats only seem to want to take power if its straight up shoved into their laps. And even then, they don’t want to do anything with it, unless the thing is giving more fascists more money to bomb more brown people overseas.
Trump will go into 2026 saying he’s winning. He’ll insist the exit polls are rigged and insist his party won in November. And then he’ll fight tooth and nail to make his bullshit lies a reality. And he’ll have Larry Ellison and Peter Thiel and Marc Andressen and Miriam Adelson and Tilman Fertitta all throwing their considerable wealth and clout right behind him when he does.
I haven’t seen anything to suggest Schumer or Jefferies or Gavin Newsom or Tim Walz or any other national Democrat with a hint of clout will do a damned thing to stop him. We’ll get a 5-4 decision from the SCOTUS saying Trump is Dictator For Life, and they’ll all just shrug and blame Transgender Palestinian Communists for the loss.
