So the quote that was out of context looks like gibberish but when you listen to a lot of that speech and you finally get to that quote, he's just goofing around with Christians who never show up to elections.
"And again, Christians, get out and vote! Just this time! You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years it'll be fixed, it'll be fine, you won't have to vote anymore. In four years we'll have it fixed so good you won't have to vote again".

Re: Trump Assassination Attempt Discussion
If they're conservative religious types, they should look into either the Constitution Party's nominee (Randall Terry) or the American Solidarity Party's nominee (Peter Sonski).
Now, Sonski wouldn't likely appeal to the more extreme religious folk - the ASP are primarily a Catholic pro-life party - but even so, if they've no interest in Trump or Harris, there are plenty of other options that might appeal to them.

Re: Trump Assassination Attempt Discussion
The most generous interpretation of Trump’s statement is that he doesn’t give a shit what happens to the GOP if he isn’t on the ballot.
Not removing until John Elway is fired.
Re: Trump Assassination Attempt Discussion
Trump and Harris are both at the top of my "You sound like a fucking idiot whenever you speak" list. Maybe both are highly intelligent but you would have a hard time convincing me

Re: Trump Assassination Attempt Discussion
it's literally out of context because it's part of a larger ramble speech by trump, and even more out of context because his speech was part of a larger event for turning point usa ....like comic con for zealot maga republicans.
regardless of all of that, what he said is negative if you believe in the democratic process.

America is a constitutional republic. But even ignoring that, the democrats don't believe in democracy, since this is their 3rd election in a row where they've either went against or ignored the will of their voters.

I'll agree with Jason that Democrats definitely don't believe in democracy. I don't agree with his reasons, but he's right on the basic point.

so the democrats want a democratic process that they can cheat. and the republicans (those circling trump anyway) want something more akin to a monarchy. neither cares about the democraric process, but one of them pretends to care about it enough to not just do away with it out right.
Re: Trump Assassination Attempt Discussion
If you watch the speech, you'll see that he was clowning around with them throughout half of it. This is what Trump generally does at rallies.
