Trump Cryptically Declares, ‘You Won’t Have to Vote Anymore’ If He Wins Second Term

What the fuck is supposed to be cryptic about this? He's making it perfectly clear that he wants to overthrow democracy in the US. And everybody who votes for him is OK with that.

Your country is insane.

In any other democratic nation in the world, a politician saying this would be finished.

I hope for the sake of humanity that all the sane people in the US go out and tells everyone they know that cares about democracy and the rule of law what Trump is planning to do, especially in the swing states.

"I love you, christians. I am a christian!"

Who the fuck talks like that? And who the fuck votes for a guy that talks like that?

Trump using the language of a tyrant is not an accident. When people say that democracy is on the line this election, we're not being hyperbolic, we're saying that because of statements like this. Please get out there and vote this November.

oh yeah, so cryptic. gotta bust out my cryptography degree for this one. might need a couple quantum computers too. wow, the crypticity is at an all-time high. its over 8000, i tell ya.

As an outsider I honestly just don't get what people see in this idiot. How can you take someone that talk like that seriously? He sounds like a nutter that is promising crazy stuff that would literally mean the end of the USA as we know it.

If he'd get his way with this and the other project 2025 stuff it'd honestly be the end of America I think.

This is as cryptic as saying "I will come to your house tonight and burn it down with everyone still in it."

You heard it straight from Trump: you don't have to vote anymore.

If you're a trump supporter, take a break on election day. He's got it covered.

Too all the Trump supporters, if you want, you can stop voting now. No, seriously, it is a hassle. Stay home, the rest of us can handle it.

In my eyes this is the actual scariest thing he's ever said.

There's nothing subtle about Trump. So when he say something blatantly stupid and evil, it doesn't need translation or interpretation. If he says, "we're going to 'fix' voting so that you'll never have to worry about voting ever again" there only ONE way to interpret that. Believe people when they show you what they really are.

It also doesn't help that our mainstream, "liberal news media" (you know, the one that's owned by only six corporations) is constantly running interference for Trump.

I'm not american, but I have a feeling this election is going to go into history.

Vote for Trump and he'll turn it into dictatorship.

Vote for Harris and she'll be the first woman president.

What will it be?

Cryptically? This motherfucker is the most transparent asshole on the planet. He couldn't convince a bucket of fish they were out of the water.

He plain and clearly said "if I win it will be the end of democracy". There isn't subtext.

That is not cryptic. He's saying the quiet part out loud.

Cryptic, no. Bizarre, yes.

Wow, I mean technically the Antichrist and the False Prophet COULD be the same person, nothing in Revelation says they can’t.

Wow so cryptic I wonder what he could be implying

In four years, you don’t have to vote again.

Man, I thought it was just a misquote, but he kept going and getting more specific.

LOL i was wondering how long it would take for them to come out and say it

There's nothing cryptic about that at all. He's telling you what you should be believing for once.

Cryptic implies there is something to decipher

Doesn't seem particularly "cryptic" to me. Essentially he's saying "If we win, you don't need to vote, because I'll make sure we win from now on by rigging it".

Seems pretty cut and dry to me what he's saying.

“btw I’m not a threat to democracy, you’re a threat to democracy”

Again with the dog airhorn.

Not remotely cryptic...

That wasn't cryptic at all. I cannot wait until he is dead in the ground -- after he loses the election. Or, at minimum, rots in prison as someone's bitch the rest of his useless life.

"Cryptically"

Surely the leopards would never eat my face!

*votes for an outspoken aspiring fascist dictator*

What does it feel like to get raped in the ass by this fucker, Americans? You gonna do something about it or just take it?

I need to try this on Christians!

Please give me 60% off this TV my beautiful Christian, I love you, I'm a Christian.

The Founders DEFINITELY wanted us to be Able to Shoot up Kindergarteners. THAT'S Crystal Clear! But their views on Democracy are MUCH more newanced and Unknown!

I love you, Christians! I’m a Christian.

"Hello, fellow Christians! You should vote for me, because I am, like you, a Christian! Praise Jesus!"

So he wants to be a permanent dictator? Sounds legit considering the SCOTUS verdict about no criminal reponsibility

It's not cryptic at all, it's rather straightforward.

To anyone thinking, "well there is some subtext here we're not talking about." Gtfo the man wants to be putin. Since day one. Putin does have kompromat on donald. All the videos trump sends him of himself furiously masterbating.

Cryptic, nothing. What he means is that we won't be allowed to vote. This is precisely what happens when you tolerate tyranny for as long as we've tolerated Trump's brand of it. We used to fight tyranny whenever it raised its head, but corporate media and its demands for "civility" has turned us into a nation of neuters.

Yes very cryptic, I wonder what he could possibly mean by that?

Pretty sure that warrants a second attempt.

In case you missed it the OLD orange felon/rapist has already declared himself the winner. He has said if he isn't the winner the election was rigged. They intend to take control no matter what.

my beautiful Christians. I love you, Christians! I’m a Christian. I love you.

I'm not an expert in American politics, but is he high on something?

If you listen to that audio closely it sounds like he said “im not Christian”. But then he would be telling the truth. And he doesn’t know how to do that.

So he's basically killing democracy in his country if he wins the election.

I mean, once he wins, because I'm very pessimistic.

I'm barely into politics, my high school teachings of the political system aren't terribly strong in my mind. All that to ask:

1. Can he do that?

And, if so:

2. What would need to happen for a president to convert our system to lifetime terms?

3. What would need to happen for a president to convert our system to a dictatorship/monarchy/whatever? (so we actually never voted again)

4. Is it at all likely that Trump could make either of those things happen?

P.S. You don't need to make the 86th comment about how this isn't cryptic. Shitty headlines should be criticized, but it isn't adding to the discussion at the point. I mean, look at me, I managed to get through this entire comment and not menti- Oh crap, I'm part of the problem.

Nothing cryptic about it

As cryptic as the Rosetta Stone.

Hail King Trumpnut.

it only happens on day one so don't worry about it

Honestly, considering the master level narcissist Trim is, this is likely more a "after 4 more years I'm not going to run anymore so I couldn't give a fuck about what you guys do" instead of "I'll be dictator and democracy will be over"

Either way it's bad

To be fair, even thought that's not needed with this guy, what he could actually mean is that he doesn't give a crap who anyone votes for in 4 years since its not going to be him anyway, and for him he is the only person that counts.

But yeah, all the other theories are also plausible unfortunately.

Is there another source or a recording of the full speech

Wow. Best case, he's admitting he won't run for a third term and doesn't care once his personal issues are solved. The worst case is openly delaying himself a traitor.

Time for another meme ad...

I am to be trusted

I only recently watched Civil War what the fuck is he doing

They don't have to vote now or ever.

The USA does not have compulsory voting.

-you won't have to vote ME anymore- FTFY, orange felon

Wow, that's so cryptic, I have no idea what he might be referring to.

Lol what the fuck.

If you watch the video, it sounds a lot more like he said "I'm not Christian" ?!

He said "I'm not Christian"

This thing with Christians reminds me on Steve's 'Developers, developers, developers'. Did Steve write speech for Donald 🤔 IT folks will understand 😁

You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years.

I think it was just his weird way to address the lazy ass demographic which can't be bothered to vote even once in 4 years.

But those are mostly people with executive dysfunction, so how does his speech help, I dunno

As if it matters what Trump of all people says.

Trump says you won't need to vote if he wins. But here's the thing: It's not just Democrats who should worry. Trump's chaos could destroy the whole rigged system - Republican and Democrat. He might seem like an undertaker of the American democracy, but in doing so he will drown his own ship, too. But we need to help him steer it into the iceberg of organized social anger instead of isolated floes made of any expectations his mostly temporarily deluded and desperate voters may have or some single-cause activisms or culture wars that will only benefit him. Those will be shattered within the first few months of his term, as he won't have COVID to use as a convenient excuse for his failures to not only address, but at least not make worse the organic crisis of the system, like Genocide Joe has had.

EDIT: I'm not saying this to fucking endorse him or passivity. What I mean is that the world does not end at the ballot box and we need to reckon with the possibility of his victory and that there are countless other means of resisting him other than just depositing all our hopes in the Democrats. And that even though resisting Trumpism will not be an easy task, the instability and disappointment that a presidency of establishment's populist enfant terrible, in an era that breeds virtually no statesmen of great stature, is bound to engender, has the potential actually make it easier.

No citizen voted for Kamala. They can go ahead and never bring up democracy again thank you.

Democracy is an overrated concept - truth cannot be achieved through consensus but by the will and conviction of one.
