Newsmax host Carl Higbie went on a tirade on Friday after former President Donald Trump was convicted by a Manhattan jury the day before.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to cover up extramarital affairs. Trump was concerned the affairs would come to light and harm his presidential aspirations. The Republican freakout has been swift if not predictable. Despite their outrage and indignation, some conservatives insist that being a convicted felon will help Trump’s chances of returning to the White House in November’s election.
During Friday’s edition of Frontline on Newsmax, Higbie demanded congressional Republicans drop everything and go after those involved in Trump’s prosecution.
Or you could just drive two people under 30 to the polls.
Where I live, the odds are about 90% that anyone under 30 I was driving to the polls would be voting for Trump.
Ok…burn your town down.
So, mass murder…? Isn’t that what Newsmax is tacitly calling for, just in the other direction?
Never be deceived that the rich will allow you to vote away their wealth.

Prove it. Just because it is a catchy doesn’t mean it’s true.
Look, voting is made difficult for certain segments of our society for a reason. It takes actual effort to make it run badly. My district is affluent White+Asian and voting is super easy. The district next to mine is almost 100% POC and each and every election there are stories of multiple hour long waits there.
This is not an accident. This is systemic and it has been systemic since about 1865. So when I hear people argue that voting doesn’t matter I ask why it really seems to matter to multiple generations of the powers-that-be. Why do people in the age of Twitter and the age of telegraphs consistently have the same view? Well when I see that I usually conclude because the facts havent changed.
You’ve cited the proof yourself. The wealthy have made sure that voting is just as hard as they can possibly make it in areas that aren’t poor, or won’t vote for the interests of the monied class.
Right but you were talking about the future impossibility before
