   #Trump's plea to voters last night: "Get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, it will be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore ... In four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote."

     Media: this should be *the* A1 story. I have studied dictatorship for decades and this is it-"you won't have to vote anymore." Trump will never leave office if he wins in November.

     #Trump: You have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore.. In four years, you won’t have to vote again.

     @GottaLaff Fortunately it seems like the Harris campaign actually has a messaging team that is ready to push back and say "No, seriously, this weirdo freak really is saying all this, and also please recall that he attempted to retain power through insurrection and is a criminal trying to stay out of jail."

     @aburtch @mjj @GottaLaff @davidaugust People make the mistake of thinking of what Trump does as incoherent rambling. It's really more like stream-of-consciousness riffing. He's got themes in his head and he embroiders them and mixes them up, but one of his themes is that he is going to completely take over government in a way that can't be undone, and he says it in dozens of different ways. Ignore the nonsense words - listen to the themes. Because he has consistently acted on his themes.

     @mjj @GottaLaff @davidaugust This clip is way more indicative of his incoherent, word-salad, stream of consciousness speaking style than it is of any premeditated plan to become a dictator and end elections. (Not that he wouldn’t do that, just that most of what comes out of his mouth is accidental.)
