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.

      He’s already been told he has “the votes” now and has won. So if that turns out not to be happening the closer we get to November’s results, to him it will be a purely fraudulent steal.

      Anyone who’s going to vote for the Mango Mussolini has already decided to and nothing can convince them not to.

      Likewise, everyone else who’s ever heard of him would never in a million years vote for him.

      Contrary to the perennial Dem election strategy Plan 1992, there’s hardly any undecided voters. The only ones who truly are undecided have deliberately not followed politics for the last 8 years and are unlikely to vote.

      So yeah, he already has all the votes he’s going to get and won’t lose any. Let’s just hope that he’s wrong about having enough to eke out an EC win.
