Sounds more like a JAQ shitpost


That actually makes some sense, because it looks like he's just JAQ'ing it.

It'd never happen anyway, and I'm glad it won't. If you can hold the 1864 election in the middle of a shooting civil war, you can hold one now.

Agreed, although the 1864 Election was able to be held partly due to the fact that the Confederate states weren't even voting in it.

IIRC, that's partly why Lincoln justified having the election to Congress and why he picked a Southern Democrat as his VP in 1864.

I don't think Dems are in any mood to negotiate these days.

True, but this is the kind of thing that could scare the fuck out of the more established Dems and if Trump is smart, he'll find a way to make sure the bigwigs know to negotiate with him and the GOP over these lockdown issues.

Sheeeeit, now he's done it. This is the ragebait libs have been looking for.

Honest opinions, was this a smart or dumb move?

I expect CNN and every liberal rag in the land to have a field day with this though and the TDS to go through the roof.

 

[King Daddy Telomerase]

Dumb move from where I see it now. I've never understood Trump fighting the mail-in vote stuff so harshly. I'm not even sure mail-in voting would benefit Ds over the corruption of current voting locations. But, Trump has shown he's a master of manipulation games against his enemies far more than I ever will.

dumb, pointless, and nothing he can control as it's constitutionally bound and unless he starts to change the constitution aint shit he can do.

Even if he's playing 4D Chess with this for some purpose (which I think is the likely option, either that or sarcasm) I still wouldn't have done it if I were him.

 

[George Floyd Sneed]

The 6D underwater backgammon interpretation is that he wants to begin laying down the narrative that widespread voter fraud is likely to happen. Which I agree with.

Mail-in voting is going to be one of those things that “ballot harvesters” can and will take advantage of. If there’s no checks by the government to eliminate fraudulent mail-in votes, there’s not even a point in holding the elections. Lots of mail trucks full of 100% Democrat votes roll in as necessary to get the election results they want. Certainly more votes than the usual car trunks and lockers.

I guess it could be distraction from economic numbers? I don't know, seems dumb. But maybe it's better for Trump if people think he's constitutionally dumb rather than economically dumb.

At this point, you either don't mind Trump (even if you think he's piggish) or absolutely hate him. So really it doesn't matter. Either it's stupid bullshit he said, or a threat to start a dictatorship.

 

[Salubrious]

The thing that sucks is that if Trump wins in 2020, then 2024 is going to be even worse.

Hell, it could be worse even if Biden wins. People have clearly shown that appeasement doesn't work; they'll just keep on fighting because now "it's working."

I can't wait for Kanye 2024 or based bearded Cruz 2024 against whatever communist the Democrats put up in 2024.

We won't know until earliest 2-4 weeks from now. The media reaction is not important, but considering every other time he tweets something considered to be ridiculous like this it's done purposely to distract, nobody can know if it was smart or not until we know what he is distracting from.

Ex. If this tweet leads to the FCC ruling in his adminstrations favor of limiting rule 230c(or w/e its proper number is) in regards to website editor vs publisher game tech giants like to play I would consider it a smart move though other people disagreeing with that is understandable.

 

[XYZpdq]

I can see a 8d Snakes And Ladders of this creating a chorus of "no! we can't push it back!" to respond with "well, okay, we'd better make sure we don't push anything back!" to cancel some shutdowns or something
or Trump just tweeted some random shit to poke the ant hill like usual

 

[tehpope]

Someone mentioned in the A&H thread about the tweet that it takes New York state months to count up all the ballots for their General Election. If Vote By Mail were to happen at a national level, then it could a long time before we even know who the winner is.

e: And the media would have no business running their shows election night like they do since it would be all bullshit.

Give me rainbows, but I guarantee the current insane times we are living in are going to change soon. Zoomers hate the way world is now with censorship and constant fear tactics, and they're well aware which side is causing most of it. I see it every day where I work, teenagers in the last 5 years or so are remarkably different, especially when talking about their futures. By 2028, I expect enormous change as Zoomers reach young adulthood.

Let's also note that Zoomers are among the most affected with the ridiculous COVID shutdowns.

Because of politics, a lot of Zoomers missed huge milestones in their lives, such as graduation, prom, and Senior high school/college sports. Hell, a lot of Zoomers are in limbo about what they're even going to do for college in the Fall altogether. We've basically had all of our political leaders tell young people that their lives and happiness don't matter; that the lives of people in their 80's and 90's matter more (and those people were actually able to live their full lives).

Personally, I believe that Zoomers are very much going to be more conservative/less leftist than Millennials are. We've had Milennials and Boomers essentially tell Zoomers to fuck off this year, and I think that's definitely going to "redpill" a significant amount of them. Plus, the idea of counter culture is absolutely a thing; leftist ideology is now a corporate-backed thing if the BLM movement has proven anything. Nobody thinks there's going to be a backlash of that in some form? We're already seeing it.

I think Zoomers are going to be genuinely less authoritarian too, not just authoritarian for thee but not for me. With sanitized social media culture and the lockdowns I think all this is going to leave them with a bad taste in their mouth in terms of not being allowed to do much because it theoretically will hurt someone else.

So....
I see the Zoomer debate has returned without me

Let's see how/if they vote this year before we make any conclusions. There was definitely a strange internet culture occurring in 2016 that was quite edgy in a conservative way. I mean, Ben Shapiro showed up on a Pewdiepie meme review video. Leftists think they have solid cultural dominance but counter culture is always just that—counter. At the very least, we might see some good music come out of it. Maybe if all the cities turn into shitholes, we could even see a revival of things like punk. Or whatever form the spirit of punk takes these days.
