They don’t even need to do a single thing other than stand there, and that would still be stealing the election by instilling fear into people and causing some to decide not to vote.
We can see by the elections that have taken place so far in 2025 and 2026 that they’ve angered enough Republican voters to kill their chances, whether those people flipped to Democrat or opted to stay home. Dems have flipped something like two dozen districts in the last year, several of which Donald won by double digits in 2024.
Doesn’t mean they won’t try. It is likely they can’t ascertain the scope of how badly they’ve pissed off their own voters though. This is likely to do with the fact that Donald and his inner circle can’t be bothered to take a sobering look at their own internal polling data.
If Republicans can’t rely on the states that voted red in 2024, and they evidently cannot, they can’t adequately strategize in the way Bannon is describing.
And if Republicans opt to escalate their aggression even more, it just pisses off more voters.
I think it far more likely Donald tries to do something on affordability that he can brand with his name before the election. He’ll gladly add another trillion to the national debt and send checks to voters if he thinks it’ll let him grift a few more billion while he’s still able to put two words together.
Everyone also said that there was no way Trump would get elected a second time after LITERALLY EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED since he announced he was going to run and here we are.

It won’t matter.
