First of all, he doesn’t KNOW anything. Literally. He is profoundly ignorant, easily the dumbest person to ever occupy the presidency. It’s isn’t even close. He is mind-bogglingly STUPID.
So he knows what he wants, and he thinks wishes are facts, and repeats them with the full confidence of the narcissistic simpleton. Don’t mistake that confidence for competence, or anything else. He’s a Sociopath, who has learned to hide it under bluster and noise. He’s just shouting like a crazy homeless person. It doesn’t make any sense, why would you listen to it?
You are under no obligation to believe it, or worry about it. He thinks he can rig the election by gerrymandering a few extra House seats, but that isn’t going to get him anywhere near the number of seats he needs, and he’s not taking into account the 5-10 MAGA seats that are almost certainly going to be surpirse flips that nobody will know about until election night.
He’s trying to convince you not to vote. Instead of listening, you have between now and November to convince at least one friend who wasn’t going to vote, to finally do it, especially if you are in a red state or district. That’s where the flips will happen, and we need all the votes we can get.
YES - voting is not a sign of weakness or complacency. And not voting because you oppose the system doesn’t register in broader society as opposition - it registers as apathy, which just emboldens these assholes.
If you’re an American who doesn’t vote “on principle”, please reconsider. You don’t have to vote for people you don’t like. You don’t even have to cast a vote in all the races. But do vote. I guarantee there is someone on your ballot you want to support, be it a Green or an Independent, or an especially maverick Democrat. Heck, there might even be a Socialist on your ballot.
And don’t forget there are state and local races too, and those are much easier to impact than federal races. Even if The Donald has a successful coup this time around, you’ll be better off living in a town run by people who aren’t beholden to the duopoly, and that only happens if people of conscience vote.
If everyone who refused to vote out of some principled notion instead voted their conscience, we’d have a very different government from the one we have now. It would still suffer from corruption and manipulation by the ownership class, but much less so than it does currently.
