Trump Says Republicans Won't Vote in Midterms, 2024 Election if 2020 Fraud Isn't 'Solved'

Former President Donald Trump believes Republicans will sit out the 2022 midterms and the 2024 presidential election, of which he may be a contender, if the fraud he believes occurred during the 2020 election isn't "solved."

Trump has been pushing that he rightfully won the 2020 presidential election since the race was called for Biden and has been critical of legislators and judges who don't back the belief as well. He has yet to prove widespread fraud occurred that would have changed the outcome of the election and on Wednesday, he railed against a Georgia judge who dismissed a fraud suit.

In a statement, Trump denied that little evidence has been produced to prove he's the rightful winner of the presidential election, saying that they've "thoroughly and conclusively documented" it. He added that Republicans will withhold their votes in 2022 and 2024 if the election fraud isn't "solved." He added it is the "single most important thing for Republicans to do."

[DoodleDawg]

Just get 2020 solved.

It's not going to be solved in the way Trump seems to want. The election isn't going to be overturned, Trump is not going to be returned to office, and the kind of changes he wants aren't going to happen.

[lastchance]

I support Trump but this just comes across as a tantrum. Not voting and just rolling over to give the elections to Democrats and RINOs is not a solution. It would be a disaster.

[DoodleDawg]

The GOP is in for downsizing if they do not fight.

So should we put you down as "not going to vote"?

13 years senior to you. Shame on you for lying.

[DoodleDawg]

This is a dangerous statement Mr. President. It will be translated by the media as “Trump tells Republicans not to vote in 2022.”

They've already started.

[higgmeister]

A Libertarian I once knew said voting gives tacit approval for the other guy you didn't want to win.   You can't fault that logic.   Somehow it doesn't sit well for me to hear that I had my vote and the other guy won.   I'm represented by Warnock, Ossoff and Lucy Mcbath?   "Forbid it, Almighty God!"

[Armscor38]

I should add that my voting or not voting will mean squat at the local, state and Congressional level

[Alberta's Child]

In 2020 the GOP made sizable gains in the House despite the nearly unanimous predictions that they’d lose as many as 20 seats.

One reasons for this reason as that local GOP organizations took advantage of the same ballot-harvesting process in 2020 that Democrats used to win House races in 2018 in deep “blue” states like California.

[WMarshal]

"So should we put you down as "not going to vote"?"
_____________

For now yes. The only definite election that I will be voting in is the 2022 GOP primary.

No Fight - No Vote

[Armscor38]

My rep, Congressman Jack Bergman, is going to win re-election easily.

[Allegra]

Well all that will do is hand over the elections to the damn democrats.

Exactly. What is this nonsense??

I’m voting regardless.

[BiglyCommentary]

If you were here longer you would know that sometimes people reincarnate. I did that right after the election for OP SEC reasons. But why should I or anyone else expect someone as stupid as you to use that little pea sized brain and think of that all by yourself?

[xkaydet65]

Then u r going to lose because FreeRepublic and Gateway Pundit and their audience are not a majority in this country. We are not the UK or Israrl or Canada. We have only 2 parties and Dems make common cause with the AOCs of the world while we cast the McConnells into the pit. We will NEVER enjoy anything resembling victory with an our way or nothing as our strategy. Reagan said it best. Give me someone whom I agree with 75% and we can look at the 25% another time. With statements like Trump made today he reinforces the image of all that matters to him is Trump.

Your Vote Won’t Count

There is no point in hoping the next election will be magically less fraudulent than the last one. Hope gives you an excuse not to act.

By Dan Gelernter

We’re coming up on another election of national importance—the Virginia governor’s race is November 2. My friends are hopefully suggesting on social media that this will be the election that turns things around, where the full anger of the common folk at being bossed around by autocratic overlords finally manifests itself and we throw the bums out.

Mind you, they were saying the same thing with the same hope about the California recall election. And I said at the time, weeks before the vote was tallied, there was no point in hoping that patriotic anger would outbalance the massive machinery at work behind the scenes: Your votes didn’t matter in the 2020 presidential election, they didn’t matter in the California recall, they won’t matter in the Virginia gubernatorial election, and they won’t matter next year.

In case you’ve forgotten the high-level overview of the situation, let’s have Time Magazine remind us:

‘Every attempt to interfere with the proper outcome of the election was defeated,’ says Ian Bassin, co-founder of Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan rule-of-law advocacy group. ‘But it’s massively important for the country to understand that it didn’t happen accidentally. The system didn’t work magically. Democracy is not self-executing.’

That’s why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream—a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information.

According to Time, this was a huge triumph, since the “conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes” (again, their words) was designed to protect “democracy” from being undermined by stupid people like you who believe the wrong things and want to elect the wrong people. You were against the “proper” outcome!

So what’s the situation now? Vastly worse. This huge Time-documented conspiracy only half-expected to get away with stealing the election from Donald Trump. They discovered unexpected allies in three vital places: First, the courts, including the Supreme Court, refused to hear a single case of election fraud on the merits. They dismissed all the cases for lack of evidence or standing, which was much safer than letting the plaintiffs present their evidence in court.

Second, the Department of Justice was happy to say they’d found no evidence of election fraud, without drawing attention to the fact they hadn’t been looking. They had to be dragged kicking and screaming to any investigation at all: How many of you are aware that it was the relentless pressure of private citizens in Yuma, Arizona, who provided photographic evidence that the Justice Department couldn’t ignore, which led to indictments (so far two public) for vote fraud in the 2020 election? But even as the government was forced to charge the little people who were getting paid to collect ballots and cast them illegally, they assiduously refused to investigate where that money came from. Perhaps it came from a well-funded cabal of powerful people?

But third, and most important by far, the thing that ultimately renders our elections meaningless is people like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Republican National Committee Chairman Ronna McDaniel and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. They are the most important allies in the conspiracy to steal our elections, precisely because we expect them to be fighting on our side. Fraudulent elections cost Republicans seats—cost Republicans the presidency—so why wouldn’t the most powerful people in the Republican Party be fighting just as hard as they could to expose fraud and pass laws requiring in-person voting with ID?

Here’s the secret answer: These people hate you. Sure, they’re willing to pay lip service to America as a great nation, to churchgoing values, and so forth. But they’re really just Democrats with different special interests: They want to funnel all your money to military contractors instead of environmentalists. People like Donald Trump interfere with that. People like you interfere with that. Because you want the government to mind its own [*expletive deleted*] business. And, on that issue, Mitch McConnell is united with Senator Chuck Shumer (D-N.Y.) against you. 

These people live for power. They exist for the pleasure of spending your money to retain that power. And, now that they’ve managed to separate that power from public accountability by legalizing mail-in, no-ID, drop-box, multiple-ballot, and similar voting practices, you think they’re going to give all that up?

There is no solution to this problem short of a Constitutional Convention that restores our elections to their original format: Voting on election day, and in-person. Until we make that happen, there is no point in hoping the next election will be magically less fraudulent than the last one. That is precisely what the Mitch McShumer crowd wants you to do: hope. Hope is an excuse not to act. Don’t take it.

I don’t know where you live, but I can remember a couple of local races in my home town where the winner’s margin of victory was smaller than the number of registered voters in my home.

[BiglyCommentary]

These losers don’t GET IT that if they all sit home and give the rats big majorities, FreeRepublic will cease to exist shortly afterwards. Implemented via changes in FEC rules, legislation, laws that will target and shut down all opposing voices.

[ScottinVA]

So.. many thousands of erstwhile GOP voters ceased participating in the two Georgia Senate runoffs. Do you feel like your “living as a free man?”

[xkaydet65]

We are not and never will be a majority in America. Our hope is to join allies with whom we agree on most things. If you want to toss those allies aside for lack of devotion to Trump the Dems will gladly take them. What then? Sit in your basement with your AK ?

[BiglyCommentary]

One of those could have been a win. Would have kept the Senate in GOP hands. We can thank all those sitting out those races for giving the RATS a majority in the Senate.
