Speaking at a campaign event in Iowa, Trump said it was important to scrutinize the vote in the battleground states likely to determine the general election. He singled out the biggest cities in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

“So the most important part of what’s coming up is to guard the vote. And you should go into Detroit and you should go into Philadelphia and you should go into some of these places, Atlanta,” Trump said in Ankeny, a suburb of Des Moines.

Trump’s comments foreshadow what is likely to be a contentious election in November 2024. Despite the failure of dozens of lawsuits filed by Trump and his allies challenging the outcome in 2020, Trump continues to claim, without evidence, that he lost to U.S. President Joe Biden due to fraud.

      So is anyone planning to arm up and defend the voting stations against inevitable violent fascist redneck pieces of treasonous dog shit?

      Nice one clown.

      You have the cure for fascism (guns) and have fixed it (despite not shooting any fascists), but somehow still need to use your guns (that you’ve never used) to stop the fascists (that you’ve fixed) from intimidating people out of voting against their canditate (who is also a fascist) by killing them (which is “a good thing”, that you’ve never done).

      If you weren’t selling guns, you’d be selling healing crystals.

            I absolutely adore that you replied to your own “have you had a stroke?” comment.

            And of course in a plot twist to shock nobody, you’ve told yourself to further increase the profits of the gun lobby.

            I guess if you just donated to Republicans directly you wouldn’t get a new toy to play make believe with.

                Sure they do. You might only be a fraction of their profits, but those profits are made up of millions of fractions.

                So how much of that are you comfortable donating to the Republican party, currently represented by Donald Trump and in the middle of attacking womens rights and the LGBT+ community?

                It looks like if you bought a gun in 2022, around a dollar of your money most likely ended up in a Republicans election fund.

                Of course, much more of your money would have gone towards legally opposing the red flag laws that should have prevented multiple mass shootings by far-right extremists, all of which are now openly celebrated in neo-nazi chat rooms.

                But I’m sure you’re going to undo all of that damage by parading around a polling place with a gun, which you haven’t actually said you’d be doing and would accomplish nothing except further repressing votes.

                You sure do help fascists a lot for someone who ostensibly opposes them. “Murdering minorities” and “preventing people from voting” are their two favourite activities in the whole world and you’ve given them guns, funding and aid they need to do both.

                    That is the biggest bunch of pussy-assed pathetic cuck bitch whining I have ever seen in my life. Get out of my country, you pansy.

                    What a surprise, the gun owner is a cunt. I absolutely love the insults you chose though.

                    Not because they’re good, but because they reveal so much about who you are under all the posturing.

                    I hate to break it to you, but just because you’re insecure in your masculinity, doesn’t mean I am too but hey, at least we worked out why guns and looking like a hero are so important to you.

                    You’re going to have to do better than “Trump voters favorite insult, borrowed from white supremacists” and a homophobic slur.

                    By the way, the fact that the GOP benefits from the gun lobby is YOUR FUCKING FAULT

                    Looks like that was the bit that upset you, but you couldn’t think of an excuse until you remebered the “it’s your fault I’m a bad person” defense that’s so loved by abusive partners the world over that they teach it in schools as a red flag.

                    Nevermind, being able to control your emotions isn’t a requirement for owning a gun and as long as you own a gun, you’ll never need a personality.
