Thousands of Trump Supporters Mobilized to Block Election Certification

[ExpandMyMind]

Quote

Thousands of supporters of former president Donald Trump have been trained how to pressure local election officials to refuse to certify the vote ahead of November's election, according to a new report from Lawfare.

David Clements, a former law professor who gained notoriety promoting Trump's baseless claims about the 2020 election being stolen from him, has hosted training sessions across the county, billed as a "Gideon 300" tour—named for the biblical figure who defeated a vast army with just 300 men.

This year, he has hosted events attended by thousands of people in at least 40 counties in more than a dozen states, including battlegrounds Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, according to Lawfare.

Clements has been crisscrossing the country rallying Trump supporters to learn how to pressure local leaders to withhold certification of future elections. He pivoted to polling management training after leaving his university job following several disputes with administrators, as The Washington Post and Reuters reported in 2022.

If this is/were true they would be now tracked by the FBI and Homeland Security. Not a smart move, if true.

[+and-then]

Until the steal in 2020 there was never any widespread resistance to CHALLENGING an election's results.  Apparently citizens no longer have that right unless they vote Dem.  What happened in 2020 is NOT going to happen again without consequences.  Millions of Americans will simply refuse to acknowledge Harris no matter how much bool ****e the media spews or even the courts refusing AGAIN to step in when there is obvious irregularities.

From the piece:

"You have to create a righteous, sober-minded, well-spoken, articulate mob, if you will, because that's the only thing that will work short of where we're headed, which is a kinetic civil war—if we don't get this resolved peacefully," he told trainees at a meeting inside a church in Georgia in September, according to Lawfare.

THIS^ is the reality America will face this time around.  tens of millions of us simply will not be cowed in the same way again.  No violence needed to organize a peaceful resistance through civil disobedience.  Unless, of course, DC tries to crush it with force.

There wasn't a steal in 2020. Trump's attempt to steal the election was foiled. I think you're a little confused, chief. Was this another fantasy?

There was a steal in 2020? You should take your finding to the courts.

You probably believe kids are getting sex-change operations in public schools too.

It's a real shame that such measures need to be taken. Maga is the worst thing to happen to America for a long time

Remember the MSG rally was famous because of the famous NAZI rally held there was 1939.  That must have been a pretty hateful time.  But I think there some very bad times during integration, and a lot of hate across the country during that period.  And you recall, the 50's seem to be that nostalgic era that MAGA  wants to return to.

True true. And I've mentioned Woodstock 99 a couple times. It doesn't take much to get off the rails. 

It just seems everything bad about America lately seems to stem back to Maga.

What does sex change insanity have to do with one party now refusing to acknowledge anyone's right to question electoral results?  It has been a time-honored tradition until 2020.

If you can't see the point I'm making, I can't help you.

Questioning the results of the election isn't what people have had issues with. It's that the capitol was invaded almost four years ago by an angry mob, at the behest of a sore loser who kept claiming he was the victor before all votes were tallied. The same politician also made a claim that sex changes are occurring because of surgical operations in public schools and people have ran with it ever since. That is insanity, my friend.

I think it has always been here, MAGA is the standard bearer today.  On the positive side, they seem to have a fierce desire for their own personal freedom. When it becomes negative is when they do not respect the freedom of others.

MSG was also where we got our first Wrestlemania, kick-starting an icon of modern pop culture. It's where Trumpamania ran wild mirroring Hulkamania. That seems to be the level of comparison to a random Nazi event on a random date in 1939.

I put that down to Trump, as would most other logical observers. I sincerely hope the lawyers and senior republicans are lined up to make sure of no repeat of the Trump shenanigans in 2020. Harris is gonna win 🏆 and the election results needs to be respected otherwise this civil war you speak so often of will be become a reality when Trump and horde are locked up for good!

It’s bad alright with its wackiness and cult following. I can’t see the MAGA movement being absorbed and rehabilitated back into mainstream republican politics. I think the movement will survive and morph into a third party in America politics. Since it will draw mainly from the GOP this will keep the democrats strong for a long time

I agree. Do you think the movement will maintain itself after Trump is gone? If he does miss out again, he's not going to run again in four years surely.

Regardless of who wins, if new checks (don't know what the current ones are) are not set in place and actively and quickly applied to bs like those done in the last elections, it will allow to others to use the same BS Trump has being pulling, and my statement is based on the lack of courts siding with Trumps claims of fraud back then and until now (to my knowledge)

There was no stolen election. Trump lost, period. It is not rocket science.

Globalism is the worst thing that’s happened to America. 
 

Maga while still falling short, represents the spirit of resistance many of us grew up believing America to be. 
 

I imagine you would have took Englands side in the revolutionary war.

For you PM, you maintain the position that trump just couldn’t lose an election this is simply evidence of your own confirmation bias, not the actuality. Trump lost 2020. 
Regardless of whether you believe it or not is immaterial, trump lost.

Well she does have an army of support behind her. It is incredible the enthusiasm this candidate has gathered. Regardless, of outcome thank you for your support Andy.
