Trump said recently Nov. 5th, 2024 will be, “THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA”. He can’t be referring to people voting for him, right? He specifically requested they stay home on election day.

This statement was posted by Trump on his website on 10/13/21, though I cannot find it anymore as they kept changing the URL, but now it seems they may have removed it altogether. You can still find references to it on other platforms if you search for the date and contents (e.g., the Washington Post).

EDIT: Found courtesy of the Wayback Machine (at least the internet never forgets).

NOTE: I posted this in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world, but it was taken down. I think someone should change their sidebar so it doesn’t specifically say, “anything and everything goes”, but whatevs. Someone commented on that post before it was taken down that it was a ‘clickbait’ title. It is not, it is literally what Trump said.

    I admit my reading comprehension could be off, but that is about the dumbest, most confusing way to word a statement that is so potentially contentious. My interpretation was that he said if the ‘election fraud’ is not ‘resolved’, Republicans won’t bother voting because they will assume it is rigged. The ‘election fraud’ has not been ‘resolved’ (because there never was any), hence, Republicans should stay home.
