An Ethical Donald @donaldonethics 2hReporters please ask the President why he wants to delay an election in November for safety but wanted to open the economy in April? Or open schools in August and September?

(3,667 posts)When the Orange Anus says he's concerned about safety, he means he doesn't want any vote by mail. He thinks that is unsafe and full of cheating. Not voting itself is unsafe.

(86,016 posts)...but what he's doing here is word associating his two desperate tactics, demonize mail-in voting, and pretend there's some sort of emergency that requires he use his superfragalistical presidential abilities to delay voting.
It's standard fascist moves to try and stay in power, in the face of an election certain to remove him.
