Stacey Abrams is Latest Democrat to Push Conspiracy Theories About Trump and Future Elections

For years now, Democrats have accused Republicans of being ‘election deniers’ but ever since Trump was reelected, people on the left seem to be competing to see who can come up with the most outlandish conspiracy theory about Trump and elections.

Rosie O’Donnell has accused Elon Musk of stealing the 2024 election for Trump. James Carville recently got an earful from Bill O’Reilly for claiming Trump will rig the midterms, and now failed Georgia governor candidate Stacey Abrams is getting in on the act.

While appearing on the Jimmy Kimmel show with guest host Anthony Anderson, Abrams went through a list of things that supposedly lead to an autocracy. Leaving aside the fact that most of the things she lists are things that her party has already done, her final point is that Trump will ultimately cancel all future elections.

Anderson just sits there and allows her to spew this nonsense with no pushback whatsoever, of course.

Partial transcript via NewsBusters:

She also alleged, “You criticize the media, and you create your own echo chamber of propaganda. You call it truth even though you know you’re lying.”

Continuing with her theme that she is democracy personified, Abrams went to bat for DEI, “Then you go to the next step, and I call that step seven. It’s at step seven you have to blame someone. You have to blame someone for the broken government, for the broken promises. So, you go after DEI. You go after the vulnerable, the disposed, you go after any community that didn’t look like what you think power should be.”

Furhter on, Abrams again acted like history began yesterday, “You get to step nine and you start to encourage and incentivize private violence. You send the U.S. Marines into spaces they should not be. You send the National Guard in. You kidnap people off of the streets and pretend that’s normal, because that’s how you quiet dissent, because you make everyone afraid that if they don’t do what you want, they might be next.”

Finally, she brought things full circle, “And once you’ve done those nine steps, step ten is easy. That’s when you decide there won’t be new elections because everyone is either afraid, poor, broken, or complicit.”

What A Mess In Georgia, Will National GOP Leadership Do The Right Thing? Or Overlook The Stink Of Corruption As 2026 Approaches

Many of us in the grassroots have been shocked at the behavior of GOP officials across the nation. It’s almost as if the GOP leadership doesn’t give a damn about Americans who want to participate in the political process.

In Miami-Dade for instance, we witnessed county GOP officials acting in a tyrannical manner, refusing to allow participation of those with the ‘wrong opinions’ in the selection of leadership. This resulted in many leaving the party in disgust and frustration as we have documented extensively at The Miami Independent.

In fact, it has happened all across Florida as the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) did nothing as Republican Executive Committees (REC) around the state literally had individuals removed from leadership, or saw the entire REC cancelled for being MAGA and pro-Trump.

The behavior of the RPOF stinks to high heaven.

Guess what, the GOP stinks like a pogie plant in Georgia too!

The GA GOP convention in Dalton was the most recent example.

We have documented extensively here at The Georgia Record the tyrannical behavior of the Josh McKoon faction at the convention, where the grassroots are supposed to be given access to the mechanisms of power and the people’s voice is supposed to be heard.

Globalist Denmark Wants to Deploy ‘Nuclear Option’ to Remove Conservative Hungary’s Voting Rights in the European Union

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is the man that the Brussels Globalist establishment ‘loves to hate’.

And the sentiment is mutual: he has been very clear in his criticism of the EU, as we have reported in Hungary’s Orbán Calls the European Union a ‘Bad Contemporary Parody’ of the Soviet Union.

Orbán is under constant pressure from Brussels for rejecting its suicidal Globalist policies, as we have written about in EPIC Hungary’s Orbán on EU ‘Blackmail’: ‘There Is Not Enough Money in the World To Force Us To Accept Mass Migration and To Put Our Children in the Hands of LGBTQ Activists’.

So, as soon as the Globalist Kingdom of Denmark took over the rotating presidency of the EU, they started rapidly moving towards deploying the bloc’s legal arsenal against Budapest over what they call ‘violations of EU’s fundamental rights’ (a.k.a. not bowing to the Globalist mandates).

The actions they intend to take include pursuing the ‘Nuclear option’: the Article 7.

Politico reports:

“’We are still seeing a violation on fundamental values’, Danish European Affairs Minister Marie Bjerre told reporters in Aarhus, where the European Commission is on a visit as Copenhagen takes over the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU. ‘That is why we will continue the Article 7 procedure and the hearing on Hungary’.”

Behind Zohran Mamdani, an Experienced Soros-Obama Operative

Reading the New York Times coverage and Zohran Mamdani’s social media, you’d get the idea that the 33-year-old Israel-hating socialist is a new face, a breath of fresh air, and a foe of billionaires.

Now that Mamdani has won the Democratic nomination for mayor, the news has finally come out that a key figure behind his campaign was Patrick Gaspard. Gaspard, 57, is a former political aide to Barack Obama. He also served from 2017 to 2020 as president of George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. Soros is 94.

Gaspard surfaced in New York Times coverage of the campaign but was identified as a neutral party. A June 10 Times article reported that Mamdani “has also quietly met with former officials for advice, including…Patrick Gaspard, an adviser to mayors and presidents,” but noted that Gaspard was “also speaking with other candidates.” A June 13 Times article quoted “Patrick Gaspard, a top adviser to Democratic mayors and presidents who has not taken sides in the race.”

Yet in a July 1 piece, “How Zohran Mamdani Stunned New York and Won the Primary for Mayor,” the Times offers a new and different account of Gaspard’s role. Now the Times says Gaspard “quietly helped guide Mr. Mamdani” and says Gaspard participated with Mamdani in a dinner with New York Comptroller Brad Lander in which the two agreed to cross-endorse in the mayoral race. The Times reports, “The day before the final debate, Mr. Lander and Mr. Mamdani sat down at Yara, a Lebanese restaurant in Midtown, with campaign aides and Mr. Gaspard. Over plates of fattoush, hummus and eggplant, the two candidates decided they would cross-endorse each other to defeat Mr. Cuomo.”

The Times describes Gaspard as “adviser to mayors and presidents,” but the more relevant information is that he is a Soros person. Don’t just take it from me: his bio on X says, “Forever @OpenSociety.” Open Society’s tax filings indicate the $5.9 billion foundation paid Gaspard, identified as its former president, $2.2 million in 2021.

Revealed: Communist Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Made an Embarrassing Mistake While Devising Scheme to Fund City-Owned Grocery Stores in New York City

Communist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has struck fear in the hearts of New Yorkers with his radical plans to ruin the most famous city in America. Fortunately, the residents may be spared thanks to his incredible ineptitude.

A report has revealed that Mamdani made an embarrassing mistake while devising a plan to pay for one of his signature policies.

As TGP readers know, Mamdani has said he wants the Big Apple to have five government-owned grocery stores. He sees this as a solution to lowering the cost of food despite the fact that the idea has been tried before and failed miserably .

Mamdani, though, says that because the city is already subsidizing private grocery stores with $140 million, he can take just under half of the money ($60 million) and fulfill his dream.

“We will redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets to city-owned grocery stores whose mission is lower prices, not price-gouging,” Mamdani claims in one video.

But as the Washington Examiner’s Tim Carney explains, Mamdani has no clue what he is talking about. The money he plans to use to pay for his city-owned grocery stores does not exist.

Carney shared information from The city’s Economic Development Corporation webpage to make his point. The site notes grocery stores have invested $140 million of their own money thanks to a city program called FRESH (Food Retail Expansion to Support Health).

Arizona Voters Will Decide on Designating Drug Cartels Terrorist Organizations

Arizona voters will decide in November on whether or not to designate drug cartels operating at the U.S. Southern border with Mexico as terrorists.

The vote will come after the Arizona state senate failed to pass a measure last year due to a slim Republican majority, per The Hill.

“Arizona is on the frontlines of a war that Washington ignored until President Trump took action. This resolution gives the Trump Administration another tool to defend our state, uphold the rule of law, and protect innocent lives,” state Rep. Steve Montenegro (R) said in a press release.

The resolution comes after the Trump administration added eight drug cartels to its list of terrorist organizations despite pushback from the Mexican government.

“Groups on the list are subject to financial sanctions, and their members cannot legally enter the United States. It is also illegal to give material support to a foreign terrorist organization,” noted The Hill.

“The Arizona ballot initiative would also direct the state Department of Homeland Security to ‘do everything within its authority to address the threat posed by drug cartels,’” it added.

Zohran Mamdani: End Goal Is ‘Seizing the Means of Production’

Self-proclaimed socialist and Democrat nominee for mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, said in 2021 that his “end goal” is “seizing the means of production,” despite recently claims that he is not a communist.

Mamdani, a New York state assemblyman and member of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), shared his method to “win socialism” while appearing virtually at a DSA conference to mobilize young people in February 2021:

What the purpose is about this entire project — it’s not simply to raise class consciousness, but to win socialism. And obviously, raising class consciousness is a critical part of that, but making sure that we have candidates that both understand that and are willing to put that forward at every which moment that they have … We have to continue to elect more socialists, and we have to ensure that we are unapologetic about our socialism.

Naming other issues that socialists “firmly believe in,” Mamdani went on to highlight the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and the “end goal of seizing the means of production, where we do not have the same level of support at this very moment.”

“Organize for what is correct and for what is right, and to ensure that over time, we can bring people to that issue,” the mayoral candidate continued. “The ramifications of victory here is the difference between life and death for so many of our brothers and sisters and family beyond the binary across this borough of Queens.”

He added that socialism will bring policies like “sex work being decriminalized.”

Advocating for “seizing the means of production” is a cornerstone of Marxist and communist thought, as it was popularized by philosopher Karl Marx.

A Republic, If You Can Reform It: Dismantling Party Gatekeeping

The United States was not founded on a system of entrenched political parties. The Founders explicitly warned against them. Yet today, citizens are forced into a party-dominated system — just to vote, run for office, or even observe the process that governs them.

George Washington, in his Farewell Address of 1796, cautioned against “the continual mischiefs of the spirit of party.” James Madison, in Federalist No. 10, warned that factions — especially those based on party or economic interest — would promote division and undermine the public good.

Political parties are private entities. They select and fund candidates aligned with their platforms, enforce loyalty, and exclude those who don’t conform — yet they dominate publicly funded elections.

As one New York voter put it: “I pay high taxes like everyone else, but I couldn’t vote in the primary because I’m not a registered party member. That’s not democracy.”

Millions of Americans — especially independents — help fund our elections but are locked out of the process, bound by rules they didn’t create, muzzled in primaries, and held hostage by private interests that have made themselves gatekeepers. New York State registration data shows a clear shift: unaffiliated voters (over 3.3 million) and Republicans (about 3 million) each make up roughly one-quarter of the electorate, while Democrats account for just under half. As shown in the accompanying graph, these voters are excluded from closed primaries despite each group representing a significant portion of registered voters.

Zohran Mamdani Admits He Hates Capitalism… Allied With Socialist Operative Linked To Marxist Terror Group

Americans were stunned last week when foreign-born, self-proclaimed socialist Zohran Mamdani used CNN as a platform to denounce capitalism—the very system that transformed this country from frontier towns into a global superpower. Capitalism has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, built a middle class, and fueled rapid technological innovation—outcomes impossible under socialist regimes, as evidenced by an imploding Europe adopting welfare-state models or failed communist states like Cuba. Yet Mamdani chose to vilify it on national television. His profoundly anti-American rhetoric didn’t emerge out of nowhere—one has to wonder whether it’s rooted in foreign influence or ideology imported from an adversary.
