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.

      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
