Republicans Threaten To Boycott Election If Trump Is Removed From The Ballot

Republican rabble-rouser Laura Loomer is urging Republican voters to boycott the 2024 election if Donald Trump is removed from the ballot, and she even tried to get the hashtag "onlyTrump" trending on social media. It isn't immediately clear what the goal of this boycott movement would be, because if Republicans sit out the election then that guarantees full Democrat control of Washington, D.C. - which wouldn't be a bad thing. Farron Cousins discusses this bizarre call to action.

Right wing rabble rouser. Laura Loomer has come up with a brilliant new plan to, uh, I don't know, do something with the 2024 election because Laura Loomer is now calling for Republicans to boycott the 2024 election. If Donald Trump is not on the ballot. Here is what Laura Loomer recently posted on social media. She said, if President Trump is removed from ballots and they prevent him from being the nominee, I'll never vote in another election ever again, and I will use my platform and my lists to make sure millions of other Republicans don't vote either. I will only vote for Donald Trump, and then she put the hashtag on there, hashtag only Trump, so she will only ever vote for Donald Trump, folks, nobody else will do that. Sounds like the, you know, mind working of a totally normal individual, right? Like, not, not cult-like at all, saying that the only person on this planet you will ever vote for is this one guy.

And if this one guy is off the ballot, you're just not gonna vote ever again, fine by me. Oh, you're gonna get millions of Republicans to do the same. Oh, no. Laura, please don't convince millions of Republicans to stop voting forever. Oh dear. Think of the consequences. My God, we could have good government at the local to federal level. We could have politicians that are more concerned with reducing pollution, then banning books. Oh my God, the horror, right? Like, what does this idiot think she's doing? First of all, you think you're really that influential. I mean, how many elections have you lost now for Congress, Laura? And you're still like, I can get people to do things. You can't even get people to vote for you in a deep red district. So stop pretending for even a second that you have a chance at convincing millions of people to just not vote.

Don't get me wrong. I wish you did have that power. I genuinely wish you were able to convince millions of Republicans to just never vote again. That would be wonderful. Yeah, that would make this a very happy new year in 2024. But you don't have that power. I mean, I know you think you do, but again, we can look at your election results, and we can see that you certainly do not have much sway whatsoever against actual voters. But I also do have to question like, what is the goal of this proposed boycott? Like, what do you think will happen, if you get your way and Republicans simply don't vote, then what again, Democrats win across the board. They win at the local level, the state level, the federal level. Like is, is, is that what you want? Are, are you somehow secretly a democratic plant, that you've been at this for years, building up this Republican army

Only to then turn on 'em and say, no, no, no, don't ever vote again. Republicans are so bad like that. That's the only thing I could think that would make this make sense. Because if you convince Republicans to not ever vote again, as you say, then Democrats always win again. Totally cool with that. Like, I have no problem with it. If that's the route you want to go, I'll, I'll, I'll help you with your little crusade and tell Republicans that they shouldn't vote anymore because of how poorly Donald Trump was treated by being held accountable for his own actions. But you're not thinking of the long game here, are you? You're not thinking like six months down the road. You're not thinking six years down the road of what happens to your stupid little party if you convince all of the people in it to not vote anymore. Do you know what that means? It means your Republican party just dies off and goes to the ash heap of history, which again, totally cool with, in fact, I would love to see that happen. So I guess what I'm trying to say after mocking you for several minutes here is Republicans, you need to listen to Laura Loomer on this because I, I really think she's onto something here. So take Loomer's advice and you should probably just, you know, stop voting forever, I guess not my words. That's what she wants you to do.
