What did Trump mean when he told Christians: "In four years, you won’t have to vote again"?

He suspends the elections (for whatever reason) and SCOTUS backs him up because they gave POTUS unlimited power and immunity from any acts while President (similar to Nixon's famous quote saying "If the President does it, then it's legal). 

Sure, and Biden is rigging the court to ensure they can take down any competition from ever being able to wint he Presidency again.... I mean, we can go back and forth with farcical scenarios about how one side or the other is intent upon evil doings....but neither of us will be correct.   So perhaps, we can dispense with all the fear mongering?  And perhaps we can avoid perverting our system to fend off this fake threat?

The problem, which we've discussed countless times, is that you equate the success of our past immigration system with our current situation.  In most of our history, immigration was restricted to certain cultures, and immigrants had no safety nets to save them.  I've seen estimates of 30%+ of immigrants went back home because they couldn't hack it.  Those that made it assimilated or stayed contained in their cultural pockets within the city.

Which brings us to your studies which show that immigration improves the economy.  What you miss, or choose to ignore, is that it does NOT do so for first-generation, which consistently costs money.  Second generations are a slight net positive but not enough to outweigh the initial costs, and it's not until 3rd that the overall "investment" is considered a positive.  And again, this was in the past, highly controlled system.

As I type this it occurs to me:  there is little incentive for the feds to stem immigration.  The burden of that first-generation cost falls primarily on local and state governments.  The feds just sit back and wait to collect taxes in the future.  It makes me think that maybe we should stop shipping them to random cities and start dropping them all off at the Capitol.  

Appreciate the response and it deserves just as long a rebuttal. But later, gotta go to work.

It’s pretty obvious he was saying that he’ll give Christian conservatives everything they’ve ever wanted over the next four years. And he’s already got a huge start on that with eradicating the right to choose.

It should be scary because the Christian right is nutso and most people don’t want that agenda. But no, I don’t think he meant he’ll do away with elections forever. I can understand the concern given January 6 and Russia and those other things but let’s focus on the actual threat here — giving those Christian right loonies everything they want and foisting that sh1t on the rest of us

It was typical pandering said in a word salad manner because Trump has a limited vocabulary and frequently says things oddly.

With his track record of judges people should listen to him and take it seriously however when he says this.

I feel like we have plenty of room for immigrants if they want to go live in Nebraska or Wyoming, but they all want to live in California and New York.  I welcome them as well, but they need to come here and establish roots in West Virginia. (by the way why do we need 2 Virginia's and 2 Dakotas?)

Sure, you're fine with two Carolinas, but let the dakotas party it up and you are against it.  You are an anti-Dakota-ite.

I thought the right to choose was sent back to the States, the entity closer to the people, so that the people may determine the extent, the breadth of that right.  I would not call that erradicating the right.

It did, and Trump has said that he will not push for a national ban.  But since this statement does not fall into the bucket of "Ima be a dictator!", the Left considers this one a lie.  If instead he had said he plans to institute such a law, the Left would consider it a stone cold lock.

When you view things through this lens, it makes their reactions much clearer.

You seem like a bright dude so I know you know that’s bullsh1t.

There was a federal right to choose that had to be recognized anywhere in the country, no matter what state you lived in.

Now there is not.

So yes, the right is gone.

Now you may have a different right depending on what state you live in. It may be a statutory right and not a constitutional right. Or maybe you basically have no right at all. But that’s obviously a very different thing. And you know it
