Donald Trump announced Sunday that Republicans plan to dispense a large “Election Integrity Army” to every single state for the 2026 midterms – invoking his debunked claims that the United States does not have fair elections. In a message on his Truth Social platform the president appeared to attribute his “Historic Election in 2024” to the fact that the Republican National Committee sent thousands of volunteers across the country to poll watch or assist with election litigation through a volunteer program. “During my Historic Election in 2024, when I won every single Swing State, and decisively won both the Electoral and Popular votes by wide margins, the Republicans had an Election Integrity Army in every single State to preserve the sanctity of each legal vote. We will be doing the same again in 2026, but it will be much bigger and stronger,” Trump wrote. Trump did not elaborate on who would be part of the “Election Integrity Army” or how large it would be.
We all knew this was going to happen. I’m probably not going to vote this time. They’re in power and they’re not giving that power up. It’s over.
Edit: I’m so sure that many of the people downvoting have done what they can to prevent this. Some of us cried when he was elected knowing what was to come. Many of us have been fighting this for the last 10 years. If you wanted to fight then you should have been doing something earlier.
By the way, the person responding is a bigot.
Yes, it’s always the best idea to roll over and let the bullies just win without as much as a whimper!!
Everyone knows that narcissistic, mushy brained, child rapists (and their sycophantic enablers) will just stop being evil once they get their way.
FUCKS SAKE.
FUCK. SAKE!!! GROW A PAIR. CHRIST
I’m going to be brutally honest. I think you’re on the wrong side politically based on how you responded.
Go join Trump and the magats. It’s where you belong.
Voting isn’t going to change anything this time. We’re just going to get harassed, arrested or worse by his integrity army.
Edit: Thanks for outing yourself by responding with JKR material.

Wow, runs to the mods to get my comment removed THEN edits their comment to show what a bad ass they are.
Haha, yeah, there’s definitely no capitulation and cowardice in doing that!!!
However I’ll respond as I damn will please.
JKR is a cunt but using her old movie (from over two decades ago) to point out what a surrender merchant you are is acceptable.
Quick, coward, go running to the mods and cry to them. Quick, QUICK!!!
Take that doomer shit back to reddit.
Your account is just over a week old and half of your comments are how you and others should give up. You do you, but there are plenty of American propaganda pieces from the 1940s and beyond talking about how to deal with fascists. Many of us will be voting and giving a shit past our personal comforts this year. We welcome you to do the bare minimum to fight it, as well.
Not really surprised that more people aren’t on this site when people like you have such aggressive attitudes. Also, that’s a bold assumption. That’s not half my comments, and you’d know. Half my comments aren’t even on political communities or posts.
You want more support? Maybe try harder to welcome other people instead of looking at people that are already weary from fighting and threatening them or making poor judgements about them.
Welcome.
Here we tell people to shut the fuck up when they talk about not voting because it’s basically the easiest thing you can fucking do.
Even if I knew beforehand that it wouldn’t make a difference I’d still do it because it’s not hard to do.
No excuses.
“Not hard to do.”
Um excuse me? Did we read the same article?
There’s going to be armed thugs at the polling stations. Voting by mail is being sabotaged.
Voting has never been all that easy to begin with even before this. People do get harassed at polling stations, assuming they can even get there sometimes. Fun fact, but where I live they closed a polling station down early and proceeded to move it to a location over an hour away.
