Trump said Republicans will never be elected again if Democrats pass their voting rights bill

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-said-republicans-will-never-be-elected-again-if-democrats-pass-their-voting-rights-bill/ar-AASP0mi

During a rally on Saturday in Florence, Arizona, former President Donald Trump said no Republican will ever get elected if Senate Democrats pass their voting rights bill, which seeks to standardize voting election laws across the country and expand voting access.

"Their scheme has always been to erase American votes with illegal votes and now they are doing so openly," Trump said. "Their legislation is not a voting rights bill. It's a voting fraud bill."

The former president was referring to the "Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act," a combination of two separate voting rights bills that were rolled into one during their passage in the House of Representatives on Thursday.

Are being unjustly victimized by the Democrats election corruption (falsely), while he corruptly tries to undermine the elections. He always accuses others of his crimes, and uses it to incite them with his lies. He tells everyone by using this tactic what he's doing. This is a tactic used by fascist, and part of how fascism works. Look how many different times he's been exposed doing things corruptly to rig the election process, and fails in court to prove Democrats are doing what he claims they're doing. Look at who his friends are, all criminals like Putin, Stone Bannon , and many extremist groups he calls good people. He claimed Democrats were radicalizing their followers , while he's very actively been doing that to his.

they MIGHT get elected.

If you're a selfish rich asshole, yea, vote Republican. Who cares if your employees and "the little people" get shafted all the time ? (sarcasm off)

If they actually were in favor of policies to eliminate climate change, ensure social justice for minorities, etc, they might get elected.

If you're a corporate-loving idiot who plans to move to northern Canada (to escape a warming Earth) and/or a white supremacist, sure, vote Republican.

For the rest of us ? VOTE DEMOCRATIC. It is that simple.
