The upside is that his disapproval numbers are worse than Jimmy Carter.
He definitely can find a few hundred people to sit behind him and clap, but come November, his candidates are fuuuuuucked.

What are americans plan for when the military/ICE is sent to the voting sites and the results are rejected?
We've already seen what happens when the results are rejected: Nothing.
As for the military being deployed to voting booths, you do realize that it's logistically impossible to pull that off nationwide, right? (Particularly so in the middle of a hot war.)
It's fine to speculate, but I don't think any of these doomer election fantasies make real world sense. If Donald's going to fuck with the election, it's going to be via the mail system, because he can do that 100% legally.
Americans are going to vote so overwhelmingly against his candidates that it won't be possible to feasibly rig the mid-terms. $6 gas, not being able to afford groceries, and soaring homelessness will mean consequences for the ruling party. It always does.
I hope your predictions are correct about what will happen. Thank you for deeming my question about preparations "doomer election fantasies" whatever that means.
Do you know if lemmy has a remindme bot?
If it makes you feel better, I did also accurately predict that Kamala Harris would lose in September 2024. Not being on algorithmically-weighted social media, I'm not really dialed in to the fearmongering around the next election.
I don't know if it has a RemindMe bot, but feel free to take a screenshot if you like.
Many people don't know this, but dumb has the letter "B" in it. Wise words from drumpf
