Many have rightly worried that tRump and his minions will try to steal the election. Well, duh! We can see they have been taking steps to do so.
But the panic in tRump shows that he may not have this all in the bag. It seems like it could be slipping away from him.
Join me below the fold, where we discuss the evidence of panic and terror. Then if you want to know what you can do about it, keep scrolling down.
🐔 tRump’s panic can be heard in his voice.
I enjoy the Meidas Touch Network; here they show him calling into fox, a safe space. If you don’t want to watch the whole thing, then go to about 2:20.
🐔 tRump is totally freaked out about the crowds showing up to Harris and Walz.
Part may be due to his general narcisstic tendencies, because. But not just evidence that the election is going her way, all that evidence makes the election harder to steal.
Thanks to covid, the 2020 election had to be conducted in a different way. Rallies were not recommended, and the Ds were more likely to avoid crowds than the Rs (RIP, Herman Cain). So it was easier to pretend that Biden had no support.
Of course, tRump lies about it, but the pictures below show the truth:
🐔 tRump threatened Kemp in Georgia.
Most people know that Governor Kemp refused to overturn the 2020 election results in tRump’s favor. tRump is still PO’d about that and has brought it up multiple times, which is not really sensible. It must mean that he has not gotten Kemp on his side.
Of course, we can’t completely trust Kemp.
🐔 tRump keeps hoping President Biden will re-enter the race.
This is so pathetic. Now, I agree that President Biden was mistreated most unfairly by the press, who harped on his age and not his accomplistments. However, we cannot expect politics at the level of the presidency to be fair.
Now that tRump is facing Harris, he keeps coming up with scenarios where Biden goes to the convention and claims the nomination. Because (a) it’s what he would do (b) he desperately wants Biden to do this.
What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination, beginning with challenging me to another DEBATE. He feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over the U.S. Presidency, a COUP, to the people in the World he most hates, and he wants it back, NOW!!!
Although the possibility of this happening is almost zero, I don’t think it would have the same impact tRump hopes. Because after President Biden withdrew, the MSM finally started talking about how great he is.
This wishful thinking just shows how terrified tRump is.
🐔 tRump agreed to debate Kamala Harris.
I may be one of the few who does not want to watch this, mostly because I don’t want to watch anything with tRump in it. There’s also a small chance he will do better than expected, because the bar has been set so low. I just liked her calling him a chicken.
On the other hand, I have a lot of confidence in VP Harris, and the fact that tRump agreed to the debate — on her terms! — means his numbers must look terrible. Debating her — the prep, the actual experience — could be so unpleasant for him that he would do a lot to avoid it, but he’s so desperate now that he has agreed.
🐔 tRump actually went and stood in front of reporters
He did this pseudo presser so he could lie and lie some more about crowd sizes (gosh, that bothers him).
But he also did this because the other things are not working and because the polls show how he is slipping. Badly.
Alas, all those cognitive decline and low energy labels that they tried to stick onto President Biden were really obvious at that hour and a half in front of reporters.
🐔 tRump praised putin for the prisoner swap
Well, in some ways putin did well, because the prisoner swap meant putin got back some of his most violent criminals, while we managed to free wrongfully detained Americans and even some wrongfully detained Russians.
But the fact that putin decided to do this means that putin does not have that much faith in tRump winning.
And, the fact that tRump praised putin this way is code for “please help me and I’ll do whatever you want.” Which means that it may not be happening.
🐔 He’s scared because these days his chances of going to prison are greater than ever
Unless something happens, tRump’s initial sentencing will take place some time in September. Now, I personally am ambivalent about the date. I want him in prison, but I’m concerned that his receiving a prison sentence might motivate some maga faithful into voting for him. I’d love to see him get sentenced November 10th, and then get sent to prison the following day. Not only would that not motivate voters until it is too late, but it would weaken any attempt to overthrow the election.
The courts and judges will move when they move. But no matter what, tRump is terrified that he’s going to spend the rest of his life in prison.
Which means the attempts to steal it may not be guaranteed.
Given tRump’s terror, the fix is not in, but he could always get help from billionaires and dictators. So we need to keep working.
Now, I have a list of actions we all can take and a list of election deniers in positions of power. I have done this before, but repetition is good!
Actions we can take to safeguard the election.
Also if you have ideas not listed below, please add them in the comments and I will try to move them up.
1. Win, and win decisively.
Burglars go to houses with open windows and shrubbery in which they can hide. It’s harder to steal a landslide than a squeaker. This means that all the things you’re doing to get Harris into the Oval Office are as important as ever.
2. CHECK REGISTRATION
Check your voter registration and help others check theirs. Make a plan on how to vote by knowing where and how and checking on who. Help those shoe need it.
3. Work on winning the Senate and especially the House.
We want Hakeem Jeffries and not Mike Johnson to be the Speaker of the House on Jan 6 2025 (House members get sworn in on Jan 3).
4. Prevent election deniers from winning or from having power.
A list here! And down below.
5. Be SEEN and HEARD before the election.
This means demonstrating. This means putting up signs. This means wearing merch. One of the great things about the surge of support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is that it has meant that some people now feel safe expressing their support for her and for democracy. We saw a golf cart rally in the Villages in Florida! How cool is that???
When people see lots of support for our side, it is harder to buy into the idea that tRump has won.
6. Speak up against lies and election deniers.
If someone tries to bring up the integrity of the election, explain that we have one of the safest electoral systems in the world. Push back on this, whether in person, papers, social media.
7. Pressure / support those running the elections to do the right thing.
Whether or not you’re doing negative or positive support depends on the situation. Some of the Rs running elections in swingy areas may be under pressure to do things that tilts the playing field; let them know you’re watching. Funnily enough, if Harris is way ahead it may be easier for them to do the right thing, because they are more likely to be punished if they do the wrong thing.
Also, show support for people doing the right thing. The MI SoS Jocelyn Benson talked about how she was threatened during the 2020 post election period, and how much it meant to her when people came out to support her.
8. Work during the election.
If you can, sign up to be an election worker (neutral) or a poll watcher (partisan) for our side.
Most people here know of Marc Elias and how he works to safeguard our elections.
Below is an embed of an interview with Joanna Lydgate, this organization’s CEO. She talks about the many ways they are working to safeguard the elections, from providing resources to election workers, to helping coordinate with law enforcement, to holding election deniers accountable.
If you have more ideas, please list them below and I will try to bring them up higher.
Reminder of the danger: And, athough there’s a lot we can do, we can expect more criming: Let’s remember that as the polls start to show a Harris-Walz victory, it means not just another loss for Trump, but the real prospect of jail. Given those stakes, we shd expect truly criminal and violent behavior above and below the water line.
Do you want learn more about what is being done by others? This is excellent:

A key problem is that some election deniers are in position of power. In other words, it’s not who votes, but who counts the votes.
Now, who are those election deniers?
