Donald Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, told his supporters on Saturday to "go into" Philadelphia and two other Democratic-run cities to "guard the vote" in 2024, repeating his unfounded claims of widespread election fraud in 2020 as justification for the call to action.

Speaking at a campaign event in Iowa, Trump said it was important to scrutinize the vote in the battleground states likely to determine the general election. He singled out the biggest cities in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

“So the most important part of what’s coming up is to guard the vote. And you should go into Detroit and you should go into Philadelphia and you should go into some of these places, Atlanta,” Trump said in Ankeny, a suburb of Des Moines.

Trump’s comments foreshadow what is likely to be a contentious election in November 2024. Despite the failure of dozens of lawsuits filed by Trump and his allies challenging the outcome in 2020, Trump continues to claim, without evidence, that he lost to U.S. President Joe Biden due to fraud.

    How many have you killed so far then? Don’t be coy.

    Is the answer “zero” despite your “really good reason”?

      Is this supposed to be some sort of “gotcha”? The question makes no sense in the context of this conversation.

            So is anyone planning to arm up and defend the voting stations against inevitable violent fascist redneck pieces of treasonous dog shit?

            Nice one clown.

            You have the cure for fascism (guns) and have fixed it (despite not shooting any fascists), but somehow still need to use your guns (that you’ve never used) to stop the fascists (that you’ve fixed) from intimidating people out of voting against their canditate (who is also a fascist) by killing them (which is “a good thing”, that you’ve never done).

            If you weren’t selling guns, you’d be selling healing crystals.

              I seriously cannot follow that ridiculous chain of random words. None of that made any sense whatsoever. And what is this “fixing” shit you keep saying? Are you having a stroke? Do you smell toast?

                  I absolutely adore that you replied to your own “have you had a stroke?” comment.

                  And of course in a plot twist to shock nobody, you’ve told yourself to further increase the profits of the gun lobby.

                  I guess if you just donated to Republicans directly you wouldn’t get a new toy to play make believe with.

                    Pretty real sure the gun lobby doesnt depend on me. Also, gun lobbies are no reason to not defend the American people from terrorism.
