Former President Donald Trump urged members of a crowd in Florida to vote and said that if he wins, they “won’t have to vote anymore.”

Speaking at a Turning Point Action event in West Palm Beach on Friday, Trump, who tried to overturn the 2020 election he lost, delivered a cryptic message.

“And again, Christians, get out and vote!” he said to a cheering audience. “Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine! You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you, Christians! I’m a Christian. I love you. Get out. You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again.”

    Hmm, I don’t see that. I can’t remember the last time I saw an undeserved criticism of America. But I would agree with you if I did see that

      Nayib Bukele, a pretty blatant authoritarian, just won an election in El Salvador. And have you been paying attention to the rise in right wing authoritarians winning in Europe?

      The idea that this is isolated to the us makes no sense.

          Literally the top level post is complaining that any blatant authoritarian would be dead in the water in any other democracy.

            Ok well I was responding to the person saying the US gets unfairly criticized all the time. That is all I remember. It’s not always easy to see what was said 9 levels up in the thread even if I’m not distracted by other things in life…

              I can see how one would not remember a thing ever happening if they can’t even remember it happening in a comment they had to have read no more than a minute earlier.
