Trump: 'nationalize' Voting

Tuesday, February 03, 2026

"The Republicans should say, 'We want to take over,'" Trump said. "We should take over the voting ... in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that are so crooked and they're counting votes."

President Donald Trump said on Monday that Republicans should "nationalize" and "take over" voting in at least 15 unspecified places, reiterating his false claims that U.S. elections are marred by widespread fraud.

This is proof that Trump is sweating blood.

It's also proof that he's deadly serious about another coup.

"Trump says Republicans should 'nationalize' voting"

And what better way to nationalize voting than having a single person cast the vote for the entire country.

But how do we choose that person? Well, since we have a president, only makes sense that he should be the one to decide. Since we put him there.

Jill Stein 2028!

IOW Piggy is going to try to steal the election

Turnip knows he and his party are in serious trouble. The only way they can win and hold on to their seats is through election shenanigans. This is the start of that attempt to alter voting so it becomes in favor of them. There is no way this should pass and go unnoticed by the public.

Thread is dead.

Because trolls have you all distracted with transphobia.

Meanwhile Trump is floating killing state's rights.

Remember when Obama wore a tan suit?

Somehow that was more offensive than Trump suggesting republicans openly kill what remains of the illusion of democracy in America.

Trump, piece-by-piece, has been floating killing the entire Bill of Rights.

Donald Trump wants to be dictator before he dies, and he wants to hand off succession to the presidency to his chosen candidate, likely a member of his own family.

Look at Trump's Mother Russia and tell me if anyone there is safe, happy, or prosperous?

That's his model. Americans will be aristocracy, collaborators, or serfs.

The U.S Supreme Court may have something to say about this but probably not what we'd constitutionally expect. This could be the final blow to the Constitution and Democracy that the Supreme's have been waiting for since Roberts first sold out the highest court in the land to Trump.

We've all been waiting for it. There was no doubt it was coming. And now it's here.

You poor 2nd Amendment gun bunnies.

When those masked and heavily armed (I saw an ICE agent with an Uzi) goons come to your door to collect your guns, what will you do?

Shoot them?

Don't make me laugh.

AOC is salivating,

Democrats had their chance with the Eostein files.

Instead of President Harris, they had the Epstein files filled with Trumps name and did nothing.

Complicit.

Heck,releasing even a bit of the files would have tossed Trump from the debates.

Thanks to Biden and his admin, we have Trump.

Except it's so much bigger and worse than that.

This will kill all rights. Without an ability to elect true representation (for what it is...), we're completely and entirely at the mercy of Trump and his inner circle because even his base won't matter then.

Understand. Trump is pushing this country toward violence, insisting that 2020 was stolen and that it's "going to happen again." Nothing proves his utter contempt for you, MAGA or not, that he'll be happy to see this country come apart to avenge the fact he's just a ------ loser

huh!
Turns out that EVERYTHING both Clinton and Harris warned us about has come true!

Agreed.

Biden could have made voting a "holiday" like every other developed nation, instead he sat on the files to protect "better people" and continued to fund a genocide.

Biden had no chance, he knew this and refused to allow any progressivism.

"I'm not ready to pass on the torch." "Today we beat Medicare!"

I hate that old man and his entire party of "centrists". Had the reality of Trump been exposed neither party would be taken seriously.

Democrats are precisely the same complicit power hungry garbage they have always been "in opposition to".

They knew what was coming and did nothing.

Oh, and I will never forgive Jennifer Psaki for laughing and admonishing press for inquiring if the US will give out free Covid tests like the UK was doing.

He is not under any circumstances planning on leaving the WH.

Write that down somewhere.

Where's BOZO to complain about the federal government attempting to usurp state's rights?

After all, state's rights has been his schtick anytime the federal government sought to intercede in a state.

#20 | Posted by AMERICANUNITY at 2026-02-03 12:55 PM

It used to be openly advocating this kind of centralization of political/electoral power was enough to permanently wish the candidate into history's cornfield.

AND selecting an illiterate ---- in a back room with billionaires.........a woman who didn't

receive ONE GD vote from any state to be the nominee while lecturing about "threats to democracy".

and still denying that stupid f/g crap to this day....

BUT as the wise pundit said..........THERE ARE NO BLUE OR RED STATES......they are only

states with...or without voter ID.

It's rather obvious that Trump is in a panic over the midterms on November 3, 2026, just 9 months and 3 days away. Having failed at almost everything he's tried to lie, cheat and steal is way to hold onto power, I have a feeling that his next gig is going to be something more horrible than any of us can imagine.

He's a desperate man with maniacal tendencies and zero moral guardrails.

We all know what that means. Even those with their head in the sand.

Lock and load, America. Target MAGA

LEGALLY

That's not going to work. What we really need to do this November 3rd is cut off the head of the fish which is where the rot starts.

And then IMPEACH, IMPEACH, IMPEACH! (including J. D. Vance and maybe Chief Justice Roberts)

I am of Swiss descent. I speak German. My mother speaks German. My father learned to speak German. My ancestors fought Nazis. As a result, I know a Nazi when I hear a Nazi.

This is what is known as fuhrerprinzip. Translation: Please look it up so as not to take my word for it. It places the word of the leader over all established law, even when it contradicts the law. MAGA relies on fuhrerprinzip for its authoritative belief system. Eyes become wide open.

This will go nowhere. It's blatantly unconstitutional. I wish that idiot could learn to keep his mouth shut once in a while.

#28 | Posted by BellRinger at 2026-02-04 05:53 PM

How cute. You think constitutionality matters these days.

Sorry, Gutes Deutsch, you voted to break our Constitutional Republic.

#29 | Posted by jpw at 2026-02-04 10:43 PM

These days the fascist Trump isn't even trying to hide the fact that he is pure animalistic fascist, yes, to his core. Problem for the Republican Party is if they are really and truly patriotic and want to oppose him, that most likely would lose them their jobs in Congress. And as Trump has shown, any member of our law enforcement organizations who are diligent and go after Trump or his gang...they and their families are threatened.
Dark times indeed.

#29. The Democrat party put Kamala Harris on the ballot. I'll leave it right there.
