It’s another example of how Trump and MAGA are attempting to undermine faith in the coming election. Trump lost the popular vote in both 2016 and 2020, so he might be making a preemptive strike at the legitimacy of the results should he lose the popular vote a third time. Still, it’s not clear why he’s telling his supporters not to vote at all. Perhaps it’s another example of the former president and convicted felon’s cognitive decline.

    I guess it simplifies the game plan. If there is only one outcome to prepare for, it’s easier to organise what you’re going to do.
    Plus, it gives him a face save.
    “NO, we did not lose that FRAUDULENT ELECTION. I told the GOOD people not to vote, and they did not. I will be holding my OWN, FREE ELECTION in florida on friday.”

      Honestly, I kinda hope that’s what demented don does. Hold a fake election that means less than nothing and have all his idiots not vote in the one that matters.

      He’d lose, and wouldn’t be able to try his Couping 2: Electric Boogaloo

        Oh he’d still try the Couping 2: Electric Boogaloo. Just makes it more obvious to people who don’t have brain rot.
