He wouldn’t be embarrassed being caught saying “AI” any more than he’s embarrassed to be caught voting by mail, after calling it “cheating” and “corrupt as hell.”
Yes, brutality must be public if you want to control the populace.
And demonstrate that he has such authority over the country that he can dictate the public discourse. He really does want to be “revered” like a dictator.
In his last couple of rallies, Trump has specifically said that they are going to fuck with the elections if they don’t like the outcome. What form that will take is anyone’s guess, but brace yourselves for armed interference and confiscated voting machines. This fucker will stop at nothing.
Also, if you are voting on election day, make sure your ballot has zero stray marks on it when you get it. Planted election workers may make an unobtrusive mark somewhere on the ballot, which will render it void.
A couple of my friends here at The Home have said, oh la di da they’re not sure if they want to mail in their ballot or wait until election day. Somehow it seems more patriotic to vote in person. I say mail in the G. D. Ballot right now! You don’t know what election day is going to be like. You might get sick, or break your leg, or your car could have a flat tire. You do not want to take a chance on somehow not being able to vote on that day. And anyway, in spite of the problems with the mail, I trust the ballot to get there through the mail more than I trust it getting to the right place by sticking it in a box out in the open in some building somewhere. I don’t think that my concerns are inappropriate in this day and time.
