An absolute Democratic dream would be if GOP voters simply stayed home and didn’t vote at all in 2022 and 2024. Interestingly, that Democratic dream just might come true.

In an ongoing attempt to erase reality and place ‘saving face’ above the greater good for his own party, Donald Trump would rather preserve his ego than take back control of all branches of government. This was evident last week when the childish Trump threatened in a written statement that unless everybody in America agrees and accepts that he won the 2020 presidential election, he will take his marbles and go home by keeping GOP voters away from the polls. So there!
“If we don’t solve the Presidential Election Fraud of 2020, Republicans will not be voting in ’22 or ’24,” Trump warned last Wednesday. “It is the single most important thing for Republicans to do.”
Yes, the Trump threat was straight out of an 8-year-old’s temper tantrum. It’s also not the first time he’s coerced GOP voters to stay home for him not getting his way.
Trump ordered Georgia Republicans to sit out the runoff election for US Senate in that state last year because he claimed it would only be “another rigged election.” Georgia’s GOP voters did what they were told and the end result handed giddy Democrats 2 new lawmakers in Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.
Understandably, the Grand Ol’ Party is not at all happy with Trump’s new hissy fit.

President Biden’s approval rating is hovering at or below 45% for his perceived failed handling of Afghanistan. Democrats are infighting over minute details of Mr. Biden’s infrastructure bill and other major spending programs. Democrats hold a razor-thin margin in both the US House and Senate. A win here or there in the 2022 midterm election could return Sen. Mitch McConnell to the status of Majority Leader and make Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House.
However, NONE of that matters in Trump’s world. ‘The Donald’ would rather salvage his bruised ego than salvage his own party’s political control of Washington.

“But you know what would be great? If somehow we could wave a magic wand and ensure that none of the people who support Trump or Trump-endorsed candidates show up to vote, which would be a tremendous turn of events for humanity, though one that would clearly never happen unless—what? What’s that you say? Donald Trump has, in an incredible self-own, told his base to stay home and not vote in the next two elections?” – Vanity Fair

In a pathetic effort to spin Trump’s marching orders to something other than what he actually said, GOP rally organizer John Fredericks told The Washington Post that Trump was merely warning GOP voters to safeguard future elections and not to literally stay home and refuse to vote. Yeah, right.
Too bad for Fredericks, but the Trump edict was crystal clear. The immature man-child told the world: “Oh yeah? You won’t overturn Joe Biden’s victory and tell everybody I was the winner? Well, my people will show you and never vote again!”
Somewhere today, President Biden, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer are laughing hysterically and hoping against hope that GOP voters succumb to Trump’s conniption fit and actually skip going to the polls from here on out.
Yeah, Donald. That’ll show ’em!
DJ said it right. Trump is nothing but a 8 year old manchild.
