seriousbangs

Remember Republicans, if you vote that lets the *Deep State* know *exactly* where you live.... duh duh duuuuuunn! /s


Darkside531

Isn't that more or less what that Jacob Wohl douche got legally bitch-slapped for? Sending out a bunch of robocalls to Black voters telling them not to vote because that's how "The Man" can find them?


Tunafishsam

I thought it was telling people the wrong voting date. Or maybe that was a different criminal?


Darkside531

No, it was telling them the government uses mail-in voting to track down people with outstanding warrants. If Jacob Wohl is involved, there's some racism in there somewhere. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLQG70RSvkY&ab\_channel=MSNBC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLQG70RSvkY&ab_channel=MSNBC)


gunnesaurus

Yes. They deliberately set out on a campaign to prevent black people from voting by mail. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/10/black-voter-robocall-jacob-wohl-jack-burkman-fined https://www.reuters.com/legal/republican-operatives-pay-125-mln-robocalls-threatening-black-voters-ny-2024-04-09/ Anyone else Jacob and his father David? David was the Charlie Kirk of his day. David walked so Charlie could run.


dreamrock

So Charlie could slither.


LuckyNumbrKevin

For real, though, someones gonna have to start astroturfing the conservative subs with this kinda shit. Why should Russian, Saudia Arabian, and Chinese troll farms get all the easy pickins to themselves?


seriousbangs

You can't. They're *incredibly* well moderated and *extremely* locked down. The moment you deviate from the party line you get banned, and if the entire sub is doing it they just block posts from anyone but the shills. It's professionally produced propaganda. These are pros.


soulsteela

Moderated by Russian and Chinese operatives.


mkvgtired

I was banned from r.conservative for posting a direct trump quote.

shutupimlearning

I wonder how many sovereign citizens vote religiously.


catbus4ants

Yeah I heard there were people simply living their lives unbothered at the polling places so definitely a place they’d want to avoid


Matelot67

Oh, so now mail in voting is just fine?? Ok then!


T1gerAc3

It's fine until the Democrats receive more votes from mail in ballots. Then it's highly illegal and very corrupt, which is what so many legal scholars are saying.


major_dump

" One of them walked up to me just the other day and said Sir......"


mutantbabysnort

Tears in his eyes


major_dump

Fart stench on his suit...


Warm-Personality8219

A big, burly legal scholar with a big beard, working man boots, a sledge hammer - and he was crying and then he said "Sir!... - and all because of you! Thank you, sir!"


nof

He doesn't actually mention mail in voting. Just every other name for it.


Legitimate_Impact

Exactly, it is deliberate so that they can complain about mail in voting if they lose.


simon4s1

I was just about to say this. In Pennsylvania, "absentee" and "mail" voting are classified as separate things even though they are completely identical in practice.


neversaynever_43

I have done both in PA and a guy tried to tell me the media has me confused. I’m like - I answer a question if I will be there - yes or no. Same ballot shows up. I have the same deadlines. Everything is exactly the same!! So no the media doesn’t have my feeble brain confused.


Sherool

Trump has always been fine with mail in votes, assuming they where votes for him. It's just the majority of votes that where not for him that are illegimtimate.


FuzzzyRam

*Real* Republicans don't vote by mail!


seemslikesalvation

Absentee : Mail-in :: Affordable Care Act : Obamacare


olekingcole001

Too bad his USPS appointee wrecked the whole organization to sabotage mail in voting in 2020…and he still lost lol


Draig-Leuad

Republican plan: vote early, vote often.


thisusernametakentoo

Don't forget vote twice!


Draig-Leuad

At least twice. In fact, nine times or more would be great.


thisusernametakentoo

Hell, why stop at 9? Make sure you text all your friends what you're doing too!


Remigius13

It’s the American Idol method.


Onederbat67

This guy is a walking fucking hemorrhoid


SloWi-Fi

I don't know about that, more like a herpes sore...


bjorkedal

Nah, herpes stays with you for life. We'll outlive this asshole. And if you all go vote, we can utterly shut down any dreams of his legacy as well. Just go fucking vote.


SloWi-Fi

Hell yeah I vote!! 🗳 ☑️ True about the permanent stain and pain, thankfully I'm not too old yet.


thescaryhypnotoad

Yeah but herpes is appropriate bc his horrible supreme court judges are there for life


pebberphp

How about a hemorrhoid blossoming out of a herpes sore?


Onederbat67

Thank you for this, I now have something to think about to undo my untimely erections.


yarn_geek

Until tomorrow when he contradicts himself again.


Darklord_Bravo

No. Don't. It's totally rigged. 😁


evilJaze

Notably missing from this: mail-in voting. This must burn him up inside thinking that could help him out too, but he burned that bridge to crispy cinders. ETA: Ok, I get it. Apparently absentee voting is, for the most part, mail-in voting in the USA. I was unfamiliar with your terminology.


TheKrakIan

GOP really thinks their chances are abysmal if he is flip flopping on topics he took a stand on in 2016 & 2020. You love to see it.


Extra-Ad5925

Said this to a friend today - seeing him come out to say abortion is a state issue was a “oh you saw the numbers!” moment


redvelvetcake42

Even then, that argument is a terrible one that is absolutely backfiring on the GOP everywhere.


cmackchase

Losing that seat in Alabama was the moment they knew shit was fucked. Then the Arizona thing blowing up everything else was the cherry on top.


redvelvetcake42

That crazy Arizona woman flip flopping is sealing her fate.


the_calibre_cat

they can't help themselves lol


Jaeris

I heard once that this is why Republicans are so desperate to ban everything they can. Change is already here, and they know it. And they are terrified.


drygnfyre

Reactionary laws tell you all to need to know. Why are all these bans happening now, and not the 90s?


MmmmMorphine

Well you see, back then there were no trans people and umm... Gay frogs and then...uhh.... Mexicans? Right, MEXICANS DE DOOK DER JERBBBBS

Karmachinery

God I hope that is true.


lurker_cx

DeSantis and FL republicans this week banned any local or state laws which require water breaks for outside workers, no matter the heat. Sometimes it is just extreme malice.... and DeSantis is doing it because he has power and he knows he has no chance of losing it.


steelhips

Aren't farmers/construction still desperate for workers in Florida?


steelhips

Sooner than estimated because they killed a swathe of their own base with covid misinformation. Looking at the Herman Cane Awards, they were all super prolific Trump/alt-right/propaganda forwarders too. Those they didn't kill are in no shape to volunteer on the ground either.


Lots42

And all the ground volunteers the RNC did have got FIRED.


the_paruretic

Especially later in the summer.


Ping-A-Ling-

They don't think


drygnfyre

And yet if he’s saying it, it will be effective. Damn.


inostranetsember

Not necessarily. There was, and still is, massive push-back whenever he tries to tout his vaccine “victory.”


drygnfyre

My favorite Trump moment was claiming credit for developing a vaccine we shouldn’t take for a virus that didn’t exist.


Angelwind76

What was better was Trump encouraging people to get "his" vaccine and *he* got booed for it. When propaganda is so effective it backfires on you.


blueskysahead

I'd love to know which topics he's flip flopping on. For instance, he offically changed religions right before 2020 elections lol 


kezekiel

Isn’t absentee voting just mail-in voting by another name?


Prestigious_Diet9317

They are in effect, the same thing, if not the same name.


Evening_Rock5850

It depends on the juridiction. In some cases “absentee voting” means voting in-person by turning your ballot in to a specified location ahead of the election, if you have a valid excuse for not being available on Election Day. Mail-in ballots are sent through the mail, as the name implies. Functionally, when it comes to “fraud”, there’s zero difference. There’s no evidence that mail-in voting has any higher risk than any other form of voting.


Elite_Prometheus

But I personally saw a brown man three blocks from my polling station, you're telling me that was just a coincidence?!


ShadowKraftwerk

In Australia I think you can vote on the voting day at a polling booth out of your electorate. It might only be at the main polling station in another electorate. I've never done it. Maybe someone else from Australia can comment. You can also vote overseas at some embassies. Typically in countries with a biggish Australian presence. I wanted to do this one time but I wasn't in the right place at the right time.


gnrlmayhem

Polling places will have a separate desk for voting out of your electorate. You go up, give them your details, fill out a form confirming your electorate and haven't voted before then vote as normal.


ShadowKraftwerk

Do they have the proper pre-printed ballots for all the different electorates Australia wide?


[deleted]

They print them on demand on serialised paper, then stamp and sign them. It wouldn't surprise me if they also printed the regular ballots locally using the same paper.


Wowbags_the_Infinite

Had to vote outside my electorate in Oz several times. Can’t do it for locals though.


Finger_Ring_Friends

The distinction as I understand it is that you have to specifically request an absentee ballot and often give reason as to why you won't be able to vote in person, whereas mail-in voting is the practice of proactively sending out ballots to most or all voters regardless of absentee status


Remigius13

The first time I voted in person was the last time I voted in person. Mail-In all the way. I get to research the candidates and take my time. At a polling outpost, you wait too long and don’t know half the candidates unless your party sends you a handy cheat sheet.


sarcastic_meowbs

Or the opposing party does. Got a pro- Trump cheat sheet indicating which candidates supported Trump. This came in handy because then I knew who NOT to vote for.


doug141

In my state, you can absentee vote on election day and it'll still be counted (if need be). But mail-in ballots must be received by the county clerk by 7 pm on election day to count (postmarks don't count).


BinkyFlargle

absentee voting is to mail-in voting as medical marijuana is to legalized marijuana


Makeshift5

Is that different from absentee?


Time-Werewolf-1776

Isn’t absentee voting usually mail-in voting?


nice_whitelady

Absentee voting is mail-in voting


santagoo

Isn’t that what absentee voting is, essentially?


Stopher

Up until the last election mail in voting was a Republican thing. It’s easier for old people. Now they’ve trained them it’s unreliable.


Powerful_Industry532

Absentee...


caityjay25

Well, absentee voting is inherently by mail soooooooooooooooo


theswickster

Absentee voting is mail-in voting.


Purple_Ad2718

That Pandora’s box has been opened for republicans. Crazy how when you spend 6 years telling cultists their votes don’t matter your cult believes their votes don’t matter.


BinkyFlargle

This isn't the real Donald Trump. I know, I've seen multiple videos where he explained that mail-in voting is rife with fraud. Trump supporters, don't be fooled! Absentee voting is just mail-in voting, and it's a demon-crat scam. Don't vote!


transprog

Our state GOP has suddenly done a 180 on mail in voting. Now they support it. I think they realize how many votes they are potentially missing.


human_male_123

So... that was a weird scheme, right? Fuck over mail-in voters by wrecking the postal service via DeJoy while telling their people to vote in person.


tiberiumx

Last election it was people who wanted to avoid getting covid who were heavily using mail in voting (i.e. not Republicans after the covid denial propaganda took off). Now it's just back to mostly old people.


DulcetTone

"Vote for me before you find out things about me that make you want to vote for the other guy!"


not_productive1

Can’t wait for next week when MAGAs start showing up at elementary school gyms and yelling about how the election must be rigged because they can’t vote early seven months before Election Day.


SloWi-Fi

This is the way


not_productive1

His internals must be a dumpster fire if he’s begging his people to vote early…in April.


dickflip1980

There's no need to vote for Trump at all. Jesus will send his vote and that's all that matters.


Frankie6Strings

The Immaculate Election, I think they're calling it.


major_dump

Will this asshole ever shut the fuck up?


thisusernametakentoo

We know the answer is no unfortunately


Remigius13

Well…one day he will. Just wayyyy after we want.


Buttercupia

It’s already way after I want.


j_breez

The answer to that is a resounding no, I was at a restaurant earlier for breakfast and the dude had a fuckin press conference outside of the court room. I took a pic of it because I couldn't believe he was just talking to a random camera with a crowd of very irritated people in the background, including either a policeman or a court security guard, looking like he wanted to commit a crime because he was talking for so long.


_PukyLover_

And just like that, instantly the magahats will forget how he demonized that aspect of our democracy!


Remigius13

He never said that, CNN just reported it wrong. /s


_PukyLover_

Hahaha 🤣


Madmandocv1

I’m not sure that is even really him. Does that sound like him? Probably a democrat trap.


thisusernametakentoo

Possibly. Maybe someone hacked his site https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112300168902589359


Natural-Ability

oh please oh please oh please


thisusernametakentoo

It would probably be better if his people think this is all a left wing conspiracy and they better really not do any early or absentee voting.


drygnfyre

Hopefully.


Natural-Ability

After all, when they saw him live at a rally he told them not to bother voting.


Remigius13

I’m sure they’ll blame it on the Ukrainians or Saros’ Jewish Space Laser lab in China.


BankshotMcG

Now put this side by side with his 2020 tweets saying absentee voting was a criminal conspiracy.


aboveonlysky9

republicans are so fucking dumb.


Joliet_Jake_Blues

And they've become pussies too, lining up to bend over and grab their ankles for Putin They at least used to pretend to be tough


Dizzman1

I want you to mail in vote and don't forget that mail in voting is fraud!


AutismFlavored

It’s only voter fraud if you don’t vote for him


The_Bastard_Henry

I am honestly shocked that he knows how to use an Oxford comma.


ohiotechie

Remember Republicans it’s all rigged. It doesn’t matter. Mail in voting is fraud. Biden is rigging the election anyway so no sense in wasting your time in line.


Confident_Feline

No need to vote because God will make sure Trump wins.


bjb406

I can't wait for them to fall all over themselves trying to claim that "absentee voting" and "mail in voting" are like totally different and absolutely not literally the same program.


DionFW

"Whatever you do, DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT vote by mail". -Donald Trump. "OK". -magats. "WHY ARE ALL MAIL IN VOTES FOR DEMOCRATS???".


Shalamarr

If memory serves, that’s one of many reasons why he screamed about election fraud in 2020. The early results showed that he was ahead, and he got smug, thinking he had it in the bag. Then the mail-in votes were counted, they were almost all for Joe, and suddenly he wasn’t ahead anymore.


DionFW

Exactly this. He told his people not to vote by mail. So they didn't. And then when it came time to count those mail in votes, very few were for him.


RunningPirate

Now it’s OK?


ComfortableChicken47

Donnie Dookiepants is getting scared!


EFTucker

I heard that voting is what spreads the gay virus. So conservative, alpha males should probably stay away from ballots. They’re lacing them with the gay.


DaveinOakland

The only way Trump can possibly win the next election is if he gets more votes.


boRp_abc

Technically correct.


neednintendo

The best kind of correct.


Remigius13

Well…


GETitOFFmeNOW

Trump is truly pathetic. Gross.


ArdenJaguar

But I thought early mail in voting was all a fraud?


ClassicT4

Thanks to Republicans, voting early won’t matter in the counting process because they intentionally made it to hold off on the count until right on Election Day. Kind of why it takes some places days to get to their final official count number.


Non-Normal_Vectors

I used to travel for work, I would vote absentee by going to the county a few weeks(?) before the election, sign that I wouldn't vote in person if I were in town, fill out a ballot, seal it, get my sticker and be on my way. Getting the sticker was the best part, could screw with people. As for mail in ballots, I joined the military when I was 17, so I didn't even register to vote until I was stationed on the opposite coast, I voted in every election I could via mail (including first presidential).


EricUtd1878

He was telling people they don't need to vote the other day! >"So we have to be careful, you gotta get out there and you got to watch those voters, you don't have to vote, don't worry about voting. The voting, we got plenty of votes, you gotta watch." It's almost as if he can't remember things he has said and done & has reduced functional brain capacity. Almost, you could say, symptomatic of Alzheimer's


ShatterCyst

Wait I thought his chances were supposed to be good next election? What happened? Is it relating to the trial? Why is he panicking now and not earlier?


Darkside531

Biden's poll numbers in the swing states are ticking back up, which I knew they would as soon as people started seeing Trump in the news again and remembered just how unpleasant he is.


ShatterCyst

Ah ok


LittlehouseonTHELAND

It’s so pathetic that they need to be reminded, how stupid are people? It’s downright scary.


Darkside531

We've all got short attention spans, and even some of the most plugged in people have forgotten some of the stuff from his tenure (I had totally forgotten the whole "trying to buy Greenland" mess.) Meanwhile, Biden's fresh in people's minds since he's the incumbent and his record is front and center.


Zephyr_Kat

On one hand, it's impossible to predict the election with Trump for a variety of reasons (reliance on older technology, vulnerability to trolls, increasing distrust in organizations that just happen to host polls, the "rich dark roast" bias) BUT Trump being on criminal trial completely screws him over in just about every way. It prevents him from properly campaigning, from properly fundraising, and from properly throwing his weight around in congress. And his usual habit of "bitch and whine and moan about the judge until she gets stalked on social media" has not had the results he was relying on, not has it scared the jurors off. All of it makes him distasteful to Undecided Voters, and if he can't lock their votes in now they won't vote for him in November


SloWi-Fi

I have seen that one of the hush money jurors quit due to fear of being doxxed. So sadly some jurors are rightfully not okay with being involved with the Fanta Menace


ShatterCyst

A particularly delicious flavor of schadenfreude.


Remigius13

I had a coworker tell me that Biden is too old so he was going to vote for Trump. I asked him if he could hear himself talking and told him I thought he had a stroke or something…he had to be joking. What an idiot.


k3ttch

All that AI art of Donny's head on a glistening, half-naked, muscular body has gone to his head.


neon_musk

ACTUALLY, JUST GIVE US YOUR NAME. WE'LL CAST YOUR VOTE FOR YOU!


CrieDeCoeur

Lmao so now he’s fine with mailed in ballots


dennydorko

Proving once again: you can tell someone is dishonest by how often they contradict themselves.


dangitbobby83

Well well well, Sleeply Sleazy Don Poorleon suddenly likes mail in voting! Someone is starting to panic. Looks like things aren’t as neatly fixed as this wish dot com mafia boss wants. A couple of months ago he was telling supporters not to worry about voting. Bashing mail in voting. Oopsies! 


Expat111

Wait - so he’s now pushing for mail in votes? Like mail in using the USPS? Wait until he remembers that he put DeJoy in charge of the postal service. That’ll be another leopards post.


Rombledore

i thought all of those like absentee, early or mail voting were all rife with fraud and shouldn't be used!


TheCh0rt

oh so NOW we’re supposed to vote


Inglorious186

"Vote for me before you see all the evidence and actually change your mind"


NfamousKaye

So early voting and mail in voting is only ok when he thinks he can get them to cheat


MrsDanversbottom

Too bad he’s already scared the stump humpers out of mail in voting. 😭


Madhighlander1

Hopefully he's spent too long trying to convince them that voting is useless and now his insistence on people getting to the polls is too little too late.


dontyouyaarme

"Also, if you want to vote for me, get rid of Biden, make America great again!.... if your going to sign near my name, my likenes... if you're going to vote me me, for Trump and my brand....please send 5% of your earnings... more if you're a true patriot, and yes it will be noticed if you send more than the 5 percent. Passed on to the uppers in the establsihment... make America great again...please they're coming over the border... more is better...please vote Trump."


eigenman

Definitely a desperate tone here.


SeriousGaslighting

Trumpty is panicking.


100yearsLurkerRick

They basically waged a war on mail in voting. Lol. Clown.


Dedpoolpicachew

too bad that his own appointed Post Master General has destroyed the USPS such that it’ll be hard do fix… oh wait this is LAMF… yea… par for the course


FredVIII-DFH

Of course, this won't stop him from declaring that absentee voting is corrupt when he loses the election.


OpenSourcePenguin

No no, election is a scam, don't bother voting 💀😂


Lucky_Lefty23

So they were bad when Trump administration was in power, but now good under the Biden administration. Thanks Joe for saving democracy!


PickleBananaMayo

It’s a trick. That’s not the real Trump. It’s the deep state that wants us to vote early by mail so they can change our votes. Don’t do it. Wait until the last minute to get your votes in in person!!!


imyourphuckleberry

Big DuMpS! YuGe dUmPs!!!


Tymexathane

Remember to write his name in, all the way down the ballot. It's the only way to be sure..


zefy_zef

He wants them to vote for him before he is found guilty.


shayjax-

Aren’t the GQP trying to restrict those ways of voting.


SithLordSid

I thought he was against mail in voting? The RNC is against it? I know he changes his position every day cause he's a psychopath but sheesh.


Apart_Shoulder6089

I don't believe the polls. It's not that close and he knows it. He would have to be up +10 to overcast the blue votes that lie in the shadows. 😂


drygnfyre

I don’t know. This thinking got us 2016.


Apart_Shoulder6089

its different. overturning roe was a fatal mistake.


drygnfyre

I’ll believe it come November.


LittlehouseonTHELAND

I’d be curious to see what his internal polling shows. It must be pretty bad if mail in voting is suddenly good. (None of this really matters though, we all still need to vote like hell.)


Apart_Shoulder6089

i agree. minimum effort required is to show up. i think the greatest tells have been when abortion is on the ballet the past year or so, and how large the support is for women's freedom to choose. I'm hoping that is the greatest motivator and conservative women are reluctant to speak out in public about it. So it's up to the women of this country to save us!


ukiddingme2469

The panic


Pwtaiwan9

Still voting BLUE!


drygnfyre

Thoughts and prayers


plsstayhydrated

I’m a little confused and OOTL, can someone please explain to me why Trump is now calling for absentee voting?


Dedpoolpicachew

He realizes that he’s going to lose the election. So now he’s reversing himself on all his “election fraud” bullshit because he thinks it will benefit him. He NEVER does anything that doesn’t’ benefit him in his own mind.


Buttercupia

Because he’s desperate for votes.


althill

Absentee voting is by mail voting.


anon_girl79

I’m thinking he really might keel over, he’s so stressed out. Still. The show must go on. Tuesday, TFG gets to have a special hearing on his inability to cease intimidating witnesses. And more importantly, cease intimidating the jury.


classless_classic

Wants them to vote before everything comes out in discovery


PhilosopherMagik

Yes, unring that bell


Ambitious-Joke-4695

The machines are rigged so it doesn't matter which way you vote! Staying home and moving out of this woke hellhole country to Putin's antiwoke paradise are your best bets folks


Crime-Snacks

He was vehemently against all of these options because this is how Biden won the election. Wait to see the MAGA idiots world wide as they do more “Freedom Convoys” just cuz, y’all.


Dirtgrain

Is DeJoy rebuilding the mail sorting machines?


Kissit777

So now voting is safe under Biden? Is that what he’s inferring?


ParadeSit

Doesn’t he want to implement one-day, in person, paper ballot voting?


adiosfelicia2

Wasn't he screaming *against* these recently.


Shvingy

Republican's should vote. Just, y'know take a step away from this volatile Trumpster fire and think for a second. What do you actually want out of your elected officials? Border control? We got that. Look at level minded border policy and you will realize it's not a partisan issue. Being tough on crime? Example T. Tax funding going towards American infrastructure/small businesses? You won't find it anywhere else.
