Trump Cryptically Declares, ‘You Won’t Have to Vote Anymore’ If He Wins Second Term

Former President Donald Trump urged members of a crowd in Florida to vote and said that if he wins, they “won’t have to vote anymore.”

Speaking at a Turning Point Action event in West Palm Beach on Friday, Trump, who tried to overturn the 2020 election he lost, delivered a cryptic message.

“And again, Christians, get out and vote!” he said to a cheering audience. “Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine! You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you, Christians! I’m a Christian. I love you. Get out. You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again.”

That wasn’t cryptic at all. I cannot wait until he is dead in the ground – after he loses the election. Or, at minimum, rots in prison as someone’s bitch the rest of his useless life.

I guess the damage is done and once there is an actual smart guy without conscience and morals it’ll get really ugly for democracy in the US.

This is my worry too. We’ve survived Trump for this long because he’s not half as smart as he thinks he is, nor is he as charismatic, either. But he’s not alone in this. Republicans are chomping at the bit for “Permanent Republican Rule”, and if they have to outlaw Democrats and Democracy to do it, they will. They’re happy in a Banana Republic…as long as they are the ones in control. Which means merely getting rid of Trump isn’t enough. We need a constant campaign to keep Republicans out of office, which the Left isn’t keen on doing because the Left isn’t one unified group, but instead a loose coalition of Scientists, Academicians, Artists, Environmentalists, Civil Rights advocates, and countless other small factions, that are easily played against each other.

As cryptic as the Rosetta Stone.

I think this is a bad example, because the Rosetta stone originally was cryptic.

radivojevic ,

Pretty sure that warrants a second attempt.

suodrazah ,

You mean a first success.

radivojevic ,

Yes, I think we are on the same page ;)

etuomaala ,

How do you know the fascists won’t just rally behind somebody else like Trump, but younger and more competent?

Cosmicomical ,

That’s the usual “if they killed hitler someone worse would have take power”. That’s not certain at all, what is certain is that hitler was very bad and removing him would have been a good thing.

etuomaala ,

Can you give an example of a time when assassination produced a better successor?

radivojevic ,

Not really a reason not to

etuomaala ,

Assassinations usually make things worse. Just look at what happened to the string of coups in South Vietnam during the Vietnam war.

Or, can you think of a time when assassination actually did improve matters?

exanime ,

Honestly, considering the master level narcissist Trim is, this is likely more a “after 4 more years I’m not going to run anymore so I couldn’t give a fuck about what you guys do” instead of “I’ll be dictator and democracy will be over”

Either way it’s bad

I’m not american, but I have a feeling this election is going to go into history.

Vote for Trump and he’ll turn it into dictatorship.

Vote for Harris and she’ll be the first woman president.

What will it be?

Zeke , (edited )

Not just the first woman president, but the first female mixed race president and the first to snap back when attacked in a long time. Trump is scared. He just went from saying "you don't need to vote because we have plenty of votes" to "please vote so we can put an to end voting"

Edited to say first female mixed race since Obama was first mixed race

jonne ,

Obama was the first mixed race President.

Zeke , (edited )

TIL. I was just leaving highschool when Obama was elected so I don't know as much about him.

BottleOfAlkahest ,

First Asian President

Cataphract ,

First South Asian President lol

Tryptaminev , (edited )

I hope if Harris gets into office she will be more than just a token granted by the DNC to appease minority voters. We already saw Obama being a mediocre at best internally, and internationally brutal war criminal, president. Him being black did not make him a good president. And for Hillary Clinton the “she’s a women” trope failed catastrophically and brought us Trump in the first place.

Harris needs to convince with policy and character, not with race or gender.

EDIT: I did not mean that Harris would only convince with ther background. It is important to move past the tokenism approach that the DNC used to take.

thefrankring ,
@thefrankring@lemmy.world avatar

So far, I don’t feel like she’s appeasing to minorities.

It’s more about replacing Biden and going against Trump.

She’s winning with policy and character so far.

Mushroomm ,

Cryptically? This motherfucker is the most transparent asshole on the planet. He couldn’t convince a bucket of fish they were out of the water.

He plain and clearly said “if I win it will be the end of democracy”. There isn’t subtext.

I don’t have anything to add, I agree wholeheartedly, I just love that saying and somehow hadn’t heard it before

Mushroomm ,

Oh thank you then it was off the cuff so that’s probably why haha

Clinicallydepressedpoochie , (edited )

To anyone thinking, “well there is some subtext here we’re not talking about.” Gtfo the man wants to be putin. Since day one. Putin does have kompromat on donald. All the videos trump sends him of himself furiously masterbating.

masterofn001 ,

The subtext is Armageddon.

In four years, you don’t have to vote again.

Man, I thought it was just a misquote, but he kept going and getting more specific.

@Cheems@lemmy.world avatar

In my eyes this is the actual scariest thing he’s ever said.

kingvolcano ,

I mean it quite a good soundbite for any democratic ad for sure.

4lan ,

I seriously want to just scatter pictures of this quote all over town… don’t see how any Republican could be on board with this unless they actually want a dictatorship

TokenBoomer ,

Genuine national security threat.

masterofn001 ,

What? Speaking to “Christians” and saying he’ll be god king emperor and/or he’ll help usher in the second coming…you know, Armageddon - the end of the world?

Nothing scary at all.

There’s nothing subtle about Trump. So when he say something blatantly stupid and evil, it doesn’t need translation or interpretation. If he says, “we’re going to ‘fix’ voting so that you’ll never have to worry about voting ever again” there only ONE way to interpret that. Believe people when they show you what they really are.

It also doesn’t help that our mainstream, “liberal news media” (you know, the one that’s owned by only six corporations) is constantly running interference for Trump.

FinalRemix ,

Chaos gets views… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

chronicledmonocle ,

Doesn’t seem particularly “cryptic” to me. Essentially he’s saying “If we win, you don’t need to vote, because I’ll make sure we win from now on by rigging it”.

Seems pretty cut and dry to me what he’s saying.

glassware ,

I dunno, I hate Trump as much as the next guy but it seems to me he meant “I’m going to fix all the country’s problems in one term so you won’t need to vote for me again”, not “I’m going to abolish voting”.

Marleyinoc ,

I think it’s more that he doesn’t give a shit what happens because he can only be elected for one more term. Trump doesn’t give a shit about anyone except himself, on other words. And even he’s smart enough to know he’s lucky if he’s got four more years of health left in him. Cholesterol is the only thing holding him together.

merc ,

I think it’s more that he doesn’t give a shit what happens because he can only be elected for one more term

That’s what I was initially thinking. Maybe he doesn’t give a shit what happens in 4 years because he won’t be running and he doesn’t give a shit what happens after that. He doesn’t care about people voting Republican in 4 years because he’ll be gone.

But, then I tried to imagine him peacefully handing power over just because the constitution limits how many terms he could serve… and I just couldn’t picture that.

I mean sure, if he’s elected he’ll definitely do everything possible to destroy any legal cases against him. He’ll also try to have anybody who pissed him off sent to Guantanamo or something. But, will he really want to just retire after that? Even if he feels safe because any potential enemy has been put away, can you really picture him giving up the spotlight and power that comes with the presidency? I can’t.

thesporkeffect ,

Are you fucking dumb? Or are you actively trying and failing to do propaganda?

Zeke ,

You won't ever need to vote again was the meaning. If you can't see that as a red flag, then you deserve the r word in my opinion. The dude doesn't want a democracy. He wants to be a dictator to avoid his legal issues. This guy will absolutely take down democracy without a second thought. He'll drag America down with him.

lolcatnip ,

the r word

The worst r word I know is Republican.

uis ,

my beautiful Christians. I love you, Christians! I’m a Christian. I love you.

I’m not an expert in American politics, but is he high on something?

peg ,

I think they’re all high on something. It results in a bad trip for the rest of us.

brucethemoose ,

That’s how he talks, even way before he ran for president. Trump was kind of a hyperbolic snake oil salesman in the stock markets before he got into politics, and he was surprisingly good at it.

Also.

Welcome to Costco, I love you

KeenFlame ,

He doesn’t seem good at it.

brucethemoose ,

He was. Say what you will about Trump, but he’s great at jawboning. And not technically lying to sell something for way more than its worth.

Look up the Motley Fool podcasts on him. They went to meet him in person.

KeenFlame ,

He just sounds completely demented to me, every time I heard him talk. I wouldn’t buy anything from him from fear of it being a scam, even if it seemed like a great deal

I need to try this on Christians!

Please give me 60% off this TV my beautiful Christian, I love you, I’m a Christian.

style99 ,

You can tell whether someone really loves anyone by how often they have to remind you that they know how to use the word “Christian” like it’s some kind of magic spell.

That convicted rapist scumbag who does nothing but lie for a living doesn’t have the slightest clue what the word love means.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

My beautiful Christians. Jesus told me it was ok for me to rape that whore. I love you, Christians! And doing some insurrection was fine. I’m a Christian. Im a bit like the messiah. I love you. Get out.

BobGnarley ,

Lol what the fuck.
