wow - Saying the quiet part out loud...
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."

@count @a @gemelliz that's a very generous interpretation, yes, he talks about voter id, saying the other sides wins by cheating, and he'll fix that, but "you won't have to vote", implies that either they have such a large majority that they don't need their voters to be mobilized, or that having a majority won't matter anymore. It's known that the former is false.
I find it surprising that he'd tell "i'm not christian" right after that, btw, although i believe it's true.
@tshirtman @count @a @gemelliz to steel man what Trump is saying:
He isn't talking about having a dictatorship in 4 years. His intention is, that the USA will be saved/"made great again" and even when the Democrats win, they will not undo his great achievements.
Since he will have "fixed" the Supreme Court, the voter registration, and so on.
@mxk @count @a @gemelliz i understand, but is it really reasonable to give that much credit to trump? Just because in anyone else's mouth, promising a dictatorship would be ludicrous?
He said before he'd be a "dictator on day one" (which *can* be read as "only day one", but might not mean it).
Even if the democrats might win again, if it doesn't matter because everything will be set in stone, they will be powerless to change anything meaningful, that's quite undemocratic.
@tshirtman @mxk @a @gemelliz totally defend against him tearing down democracy (and always expect the worst from him!)
all I'm cautioning is that attacking him for things he didn't say or do (or changing/removing context) might be used against you, or weaken your position
