    Trump is the most dangerous figure in American politics. He’s a demagogue, and a fascist insurrectionist. It’s certainly arguable that he’s saying ‘we’ll rig future elections so Christians always get their way’ because we know that’s what he has already tried to do and what he will undoubtedly do again if given the chance.

    But it’s equally arguable that he’s saying ‘we’ll have the country fixed over four years, so Christians won’t need to even bother voting again.’ I’ve watched the video a few times and I think if you listen to his stilted speech it’s clear he’s doing his con artist/salesman schtick and saying ‘believe me I’ll fix your country so good you won’t need another President.’ Not to say that this doesn’t also betray his anti-Democratic views, but I don’t think this quote is the gotcha that everyone seems to think it is
