In critical battlegrounds, Maga allies mounting lawsuits to ‘lay the groundwork’ to challenge election if he loses
Key rightwing legal groups with ties to Donald Trump and his allies have banked millions of dollars from conservative foundations and filed multiple lawsuits challenging voting rules in swing states that are already sowing distrust of election processes and pushing dangerous conspiracy theories, election watchdogs warn.
They also warn that the groups appear to be laying the groundwork for a concerted challenge to the result of November’s presidential election if Trump is defeated by Kamala Harris.
America First Legal and the Public Interest Legal Foundation together reaped more than $30m dollars from the Wisconsin based Bradley Impact Fund and its parent, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, from 2017 through 2022, according to a financial analysis from the Center for Media and Democracy.
Lawsuits filed by the groups, which overlap with some Republican party litigation, focus in part on conspiratorial charges of non-citizen voting, which is exceedingly rare, and bloated voter rolls, and pre-sage more lawsuits by Trump if his presidential run fails, in an echo of his 2020 election-denialist claims, say watchdogs.
Unless the election is somehow a complete blowout, like 320+ in the EC, Trump is going to rally every inbred redneck this side of Moscow to DC in full LARP costume and threaten mass violence if we don't give him everything he wants.
It's just who he is, and the GOP will be chill with it, because hey, they might win, and it didn't work out so bad last time?
In my dreams, they try that shit and the US military gets to take them all out in one fell swoop. I know that's not how it'll play out, but I can dream.
Listen, it would be WHOLLY inappropriate for me to say anything sympathizing with that sentiment.
Especially that I would like to participate in said well-earned lesson.
If some MAGA idiots want to try and stir shit up. Let them. All they'll be doing is providing cover for the MAGA movement and leadership to be dealt with militarily. The answer to "OMG, what if MAGA tries to revolt after losing again??!" is simple. What do we do if any group takes up arms against the nation? We shoot them. We shoot them and we kill them. That is how you handle rebels and traitors. You shoot them, and you put them in the ground.
Some idiots want to try an actual armed rebellion against the federal government? Go ahead. See how well that works out for you.
Because the consequences were so swift and brutal the last time they did this...
Does Biden have the stones to go through with that? My worry is he won't.
Yeah so you realize the same discourse will be used by the other side that sees you as the traitor, right?
