Trump Reveals Us What Election Denialism 2.0 Will Look Like

As he refused to reply questions on whether or not he’ll settle for the outcomes of the 2024 election and averted acknowledging the place he stands on that thorny problem of a peaceable switch of energy, Donald Trump on Thursday painted a relatively stark portrait of how precisely he would possibly attempt to undermine the outcomes of the election if he loses.

His impromptu press convention, seemingly scheduled to fling himself again into the information cycle and counterprogram the press protection of the Democratic ticket, was classic Trump: off-the-rails, full with discuss of how he might’ve locked up Hillary Clinton when he was president and harping on his crowd sizes. However relatively than diving in too deeply on the outdated hits about how the 2020 election was stolen from him by COVID mitigation measures and different assorted conspiracy theories, he dug in on a recent rationale he and his allies appear prepped to make use of in November in the event that they lose.

The Republican Occasion has been resurrecting outdated myths about non-citizens voting this spring and summer season, a baseless concern that, as my colleague Khaya Himmelman has reported, the social gathering appears to really feel has some rhetorical worth. Trump and his allies, like Home Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), have braided the much-hyped border disaster along with unfounded fears of undocumented immigrants heading to the polls en masse to vote for Democrats; Home Republicans have pushed laws that might block non-citizens from voting in federal elections — the truth that that is already unlawful and, additionally, barely ever occurs be damned.

In his tirade on Thursday, Trump all however confirmed that this type of election denialism will probably be in heavy rotation in just a few months if Harris beats him, suggesting some amorphous “them” is attempting to flood America with migrants.

Per my colleague John Mild:

He then moved into Nice Substitute-adjacent territory, questioning why “the opposite aspect,” in his telling, “is permitting” immigrants to come back in, and touchdown on the conclusion that “they’re attempting to signal them as much as vote.”

“They usually need to cease,” he added. “They can’t let unlawful immigrants vote on this upcoming election.”

As a result of this isn’t truly occurring and has by no means occurred, it’s been considerably unclear, up till this level, how precisely Republicans and MAGA activists will argue that their loss was truly as a consequence of unlawful, non-citizen voting on a large scale. However that didn’t cease them in 2020. And Trump’s allies within the right-wing media are serving to him create datapoints to gesture towards, too. Simply this morning the RNC put out a press launch highlighting a Breitbart story about one singular undocumented immigrant receiving (however seemingly not even voting with) a mailed-in poll. The RNC:

As first reported in Breitbart,the RNC and MN GOP have found {that a} non-citizen, legally residing within the U.S., acquired a main poll in Minnesota. That is an alarming failure in Minnesota’s election system, doubtlessly not an remoted incident, and a predictable results of poor verification programs. The RNC and MN GOP are demanding solutions, citizenship verification previous to registering to vote, and an instantaneous overview of the voter rolls.
