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.

    Well, we know YOU are too cowardly too defend your country. I hope you like the taste of MAGA boots, since your tongue will be on a lot of them.

      Where do you get the idea I’m saying not to fight? I’m saying hurry up and get to it before it’s too late

        You’re the one saying that a Civil War won’t happen, so you are advocating for not fighting.

        I’m saying it is still on the list of options, but there are better options at this stage. I’m ready to go, when the time is right.

          I see, you’ve confused predicting what will happen with saying what should happen. I want Americans to fight back. I’m saying there’s no reason to believe it’s an inevitability. It should already be happening. The fact that it’s not gives me the idea it won’t. People keep saying if this next thing happens, it’ll lead to civil war and then it happens and there’s still no civil war, they just say but if the next thing happens surely that will lead to civil war

            And like I’ve said, it IS happening, we are fighting back, but we aren’t choosing violence at this stage, and foreigners don’t get it.

            There are other ways to fight back in America, and MOST of them are more effective than violence. Winning the Midterm election will have a MUCH larger negative impact on MAGA than unorganized and unmanaged violence. That would just be counterproductive at this stage.

        Oh, I get it, another foreigner who doesn’t understand anything about our government pushing for violence that would kill thousands, and empower MAGA to go full-on dictatorship, and then kill millions.

        Bottom Line: Nobody in America, MAGA or not, cares what you foreigners think. None of you get it.
