Gas prices are through the roof and Trump's approval rating is down to 31%.

0:11.9

Just for reference, George W. Bush, his outgoing approval rating after the Great Recession and

0:18.8

the quagmire that was the Iraq War, 32%. So he is lower than

0:24.7

George W. Bush right now. And so there's no question that it's going to be a blue tsunami,

0:31.6

whether we have great candidates or moderate candidates, whatever they are. People are going to vote against this.

0:40.0

Not the cultists, but the majority of Americans will. So what does Trump do when he's cornered?

0:44.4

He cheats. That's his default setting, like, I'm going to cheat. And so the last thing he wants

0:49.7

to do, which I think would be so delicious if it happened, is to get impeached because he's

0:57.9

Congress and a Democratic Senate, it's bye-bye. Like hit the bricks. You're out the door. And so

top election attorney posts. President Donald Trump signed a sweeping executive

1:30.3

order Tuesday targeting mail-in voting and escalating his long-running effort to restrict voting

access ahead of the 2026 midterms. So what we see right now is he's in the throes of a manic episode and it is going to turn

1:47.6

into more and more fuckery as we get closer. And please remember that people surrounding him,

1:55.4

people in his camp have said that and even sitting U.S. senators like James Langford have said, we will send ICE to the polling stations.

2:03.9

The last time something like this was done in our country was when the KKK was sent to polling stations to intimidate black voters.

2:13.6

So this is their version of Make America Great Again.

2:17.2

But Mark Elias immediately swung into action, put up this post, Kylie.

2:22.3

He says this is a massive and unconstitutional voter suppression effort aimed at giving Trump the power to create a list of who is allowed to vote by mail. We know where this will go.
