“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.
The federal government and the president control the military. You can’t beat Fascism by pointing to “process”.
Like, how the fuck many times does the “process” need to be violated for people to stop pointing to it as their protection?
Fascist take power by exploiting this exact type of thinking you are showing here. They don’t go “all at once”. They take steps forward and steps back. Pushing forward but keeping the idea of “process” for you to cling to.
“They can’t just do X because Y”
Then they do X, and Y is vaguely or partially pandered to by the “opposition”. Y fails to stop X completely, but “don’t worry” we still have Z and Z is really where they’ll be stopped.
Rinse and repeat. That’s how we got to this point.
