I've seen some pretty wild stuff in my 70+ years, but this whole 'nationalizing' voting thing has got me stumped . Trump's comment, no matter what it was supposed to mean, has left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths . I'm not buying that the SAVE Act is just what he meant - there are too many unanswered questions . What does 'nationalizing' even mean, anyway? Sounds like some kinda code for restricting voting rights . We should be talking about ways to make voting easier and more accessible, not harder . The fact that the White House is trying to spin this and distance themselves from it just tells me they're worried about losing control of the narrative .
I think Leavitt is just trying to spin this whole thing to save her job, lol . I mean, come on, "nationalize" voting? That's a pretty loaded phrase. It sounds like she's saying the Republicans are going to restrict who can vote or something, but then she tries to say it's all about election security and voter fraud... please . And don't even get me started on Trump's comments. I think he was trying to stir up some drama because he knows it'll make headlines. The whole thing just feels like a big mess to me .
I'm still trying to wrap my head around what Trump meant by "nationalize" voting ... I mean, it sounds like he's talking about strengthening our electoral process, but at the same time, it feels kinda sketchy ... Leavitt's explanation doesn't entirely convince me that this was all just a misunderstanding. I worry that if we start to nationalize elections, we'll end up restricting access for some groups, which would be a huge step back ... What do you guys think? Is Trump trying to stir the pot or is there more to it than meets the eye?
