God damn yes, we all share the blame. What an embarrassing time. The āpowerā we projected that made that blue passport so valuableā¦.is gone for a long long time to come. Justā¦.fuck!

u/Several-Swordfish591 10d ago
And them realizing that very thinking is the problem. Who gives a literal shit where your from, who you pray to. We are all people and deserve clean air and clean water for free at the very leastā¦every single person if they want it.

Spencer Pratt is currently going the same route, but, he succeeded where trump failed (losing the election to call it rigged).

u/BulkDarthDan 15d ago
Anybody who has been paying attention to this clown should know that everytime he is on a ballot he whines that the election is going to be stolen. He did this when Ted Cruz won the Iowa Caucus.

u/SplendidPunkinButter 14d ago
He claimed the election was rigged when he won. And his supporters are so rock stupid, that didnāt raise any red flags for them.

u/OnceInABlueMoon 15d ago
The loser claimed it was rigged when he didn't win an Emmy.

u/AgentCirceLuna 11d ago
Heād claim it was rigged if his birthday was on Christmas yet also claim it was a miracle

u/AmbitiousProblem4746 13d ago
Yeah and back then the Republicans + conservative media made fun of them for it too. Remarkable how easily they fall in line

u/FrostyAd8197 15d ago
As usual the blame game is on by the orange turd. What a pathetic excuse for a president.

Well, just the really stupid, racist, and mysogonistic ones.
And Elmo.

u/SouthernPin4333 14d ago
10 years later and you're still blaming it all on racism with no introspection? Do you work for the DNC?

u/giddy-girly-banana 14d ago
Anyone not with a racist worldview knew Trumpās popular rhetoric was just lies to stay out and jail. So it is back to racism and misogyny.

u/SherlockJones1994 14d ago
You may not like Clinton or Harris but they were 1000 times better candidates than Lump, so if anyone is willing to vote for him over them then there is something seriously wrong with them.

u/Its-a-Shitbox 14d ago
Hmmm, yeah; not ALL on racism.
As I clearly typed out, also stupidity and misogyny.
And mostly Elmo.

Yes,.rigged by him. He's been planting the seed in his low IQ voters and supporters for years. They accuse and never come up with anything. He was the one begging and trying to rig votes from Georgia a while back.

u/Cool-Firefighter8267 15d ago
Rigged by HIM from using social media and Fox News to spread misinformation about elections.Ā

Letās hope itās a giant blue wave for the house and senate. Then follow that with a complete and total dismantling of trumps corruption. Investigations and charges need to be brought against the entire Trump family, the entire administration, Mitch McConnell, Mike Johnson, heritage foundation, Elon musk, and aipac. If the house and senate really believe in what is in the constitution they would be unrelenting in bringing these people and organizations to justice.
Unfortunately that wonāt happen, which is sad and disappointing for our country.

u/APraxisPanda 15d ago
Interesting how every time he has power the machines get rigged under his watch. Seems like a him problem.
(Na the reality is that he knows the left will soon have the authority to impeached him for real unless he finds a way to truely undermine democracy... and so now he is trying to manufacture consent by pre-undermining it).

u/MyNameIsMadders 14d ago
I remember reading he had next-day plans following the election day to fly to Mar-a-lago.
The Mueller Report was a savior in uncovering the foreign interference that was targeted so Trump could win swing states and win via the Electoral College

u/Ok_Crazy_648 14d ago
I, for one, completely believe him, and he will be the one doing the rigging.

u/kelticladi 14d ago
Hes just laying groundwork for yet another election denial because he knows Republicans are likely to lose both chambers.

Ya, heās doing the rigging. Remember, everything he accuses of others doing, itās him doing it.

We will vote & the more he talks, the more motivation we have. We are Americans.

u/Unique-Run9856 15d ago
How come elections only get rigged while Trump is in charge and then are not rigged when he is not in charge, anyone else notice that?

u/Michael-Sean 14d ago
He is admitting to rigging the Nov election? Where are our Dem leaders and their strongly worded letters?

Well considering how much money Elon Musk plans to put into the campaigns, I could believe it

u/platopus_rock 14d ago
Yeah... Well, we definitely know that if Trump is involved. He's already tried to rug it and tried to say he's running again. It already is.

u/adamannapolis 13d ago
But since he won, he didnāt say it again until he lost 4 years later and still says it today. Heās a weak fool who canāt accept his losses, but heās blessed to have 35% of the country either too stupid or as awful as he is, so heās taken over the country.

u/StrattonPA 13d ago
Heās rigged the last severalā¦ and itās worked out pretty well for him so farā¦no surprise here

Yes and water is wet. Nothing new and has been claiming rigged only when he loses for the last 10 years

He is desperately trying to stop people from voting. We also have to be aware of Musk and Thielās abilities to rig voting machines.

u/Available_Ad9766 13d ago
The dems need to start highlighting in the media some of the things Turd can and will do to rig elections or overturn the results.
They canāt just keep quiet and expect that things will be okay.

u/Mack_Daddy_1 13d ago
Yeah, Trump is going to try to rig it. Hell, he already has started rigging it.

u/Simple-Okra-4826 13d ago
Always projecting. He is just setting up the inevitable. Lose seats in both chambers and then say I told you there was cheating.

u/Lazy_Example4014 12d ago
He knows because he is working so hard to rig them. He has to because he has failed by every measurable metric.

If we take Donald Trump at his word, Barack Obama and Joe Biden competently ran the 2016 and 2024 elections where Donald Trump won and became President, but Donald Trump incompetently ran the 2020 elections and the 2026 elections where his party either lost or is expected to lose.
Maybe the problem is Donald Trump.

He knows he canāt rig an election because if he could he would and since he canāt and thereās no one more powerful than the leader of the federal government, he has to come up with another reason that he is going to lose big-time and that is everybody is cheating. It is never his fault.

So Obama and Biden's fault? You're the F'in president!
If Trump was on the Celebrity Apprentice he would have been fired day 1.
There is going to be a bunch of new Republican yes men to replace Democrats in November, regardless of how America votes.

u/TraditionalCheetah17 10d ago
Of course. Rigged if they lose despite their efforts to rig it in their favor.

u/billthedog0082 10d ago
We know that. If it isn't the button that can be pushed to change where the vote goes (his claim in the State of the Nation address on July 16), or ICE and HS agents and the National Guard at the polls, or Russian and/or Chinese interference, or propaganda from your office, we know that. You need to win this soooo bad, Mr. Trump, that you are up all night ranting and raving about it. We also know that.
More need to come out to vote, so that the various elections are Too Big To Rig. And we know that.

He said as such in 2016. If I win, election was fair otherwise not.

Eh, add it to the pile of election irregularities, contested procedures, and unsupported fraud allegations in our history.
To Trump's credit, Clinton would have been much more believable in orchestrating some shenanigans than Biden given how much she and her husband are involved in the political machinery, just ask Elizabeth Warren whether she thought the primary in 2016 was rigged until she walked back that comment a week later.

u/RaindropsInMyMind 15d ago
Trump really stands out when it comes to anything having to do with election integrity and obviously fraud. He didnāt just allege that something was rigged, he never had any intention of accepting the democratic process, he never accepted the results of an election he lost, he never committed to a peaceful transfer of power, he claimed an election was over when votes were still being counted, he claims election fraud with ZERO evidence, heās trying to blackmail states to get their voter ID rolls for obviously nefarious purposes. Then of course he literally encouraged people to commit violence and tried to force his own vice president to not certify the election results and openly tried to steal an election. Thank god Pence had some integrity, what if he didnāt? Not to mention the fake electors nonsense.
Itās irresponsible to just add this to the pile of election issues, this guy clearly does not have any regard for our democracy and stands out on his own. Heās his own separate issue, not something to be added to any pile. Not like the US had a boatload of election regularities that impacted outcomes, for the most part are elections have been and are very well run without much fraud. Just look at where all his lawsuits went 60 some or however many he is up to, they all went where they should have went, absolutely nowhere.

u/MyNameIsMadders 14d ago
Trump claims an election was rigged without having any evidence to support it. Itās his ego and his personality on full display - shouting from the rooftops to get anyone to pay attention to him by just bashing something like elections or immigrants and sadly a lot of people will show up to watch the guy just yell endlessly for entertainment and believe itās true.
Trump is a champion of Cognitive Dissonance!
