Originally published at: MAGA Resurrects Most Vile Non-Citizen Voting Hysteria As It Flails In Attacking Harris - TPM – Talking Points Memo
As Donald Trump and his allies struggle to hit presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris with anything of substance, MAGA world is resurrecting its fixation on the myth of non-citizen voting. The Republican manufactured crisis — that hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants are voting in federal elections as some sort of “deep state” Democratic scheme…

The “beauty” of this ploy is that it can’t be disproven. The MAGA crowd can and will always, no matter what anybody tells them or shows them, go on imagining that somewhere out there is a horde of non-citizens magically and nefariously voting.
I heard Cylons are out there voting for the convicted felon. And you can’t even tell them apart from regular Americans.

The counter is to point out that “non-citizen voting” is just a retread from the old guy in the race. If they want to keep their weird fetish about non-Americans, let em.

No. You do not get to redefine what democracy means, Republicans. Democracy means that the people who live under the law have a say in the law. Exceptions to that are undemocratic, by definition.
Citizenship, as a concept, is undemocratic.

It’s illegal for non-citizens to vote in elections, and there is simply no evidence to suggest that this is something that happens.
We are missing a claim that “there is lots of evidence to suggest that nothing like that is going on undetected.”
I know it probably won’t matter to a person who is just looking for an excuse to vote for a racist re-roll of the social order, but I still think it’s worth repeating that we actually do have evidence of absence, rather than merely an absence of evidence.
If the GOP win, election integrity will be the very first thing they destroy. Trump knows it, and that’s why he’s been letting it slip lately that people won’t need to vote after this election. We may become painfully aware of every gap in our shared election hygiene regimen if we don’t wrest all the power away from the GOP this November.

As long as they have media monopolies in the heartland and a tax free church network to pimp these ideas, whatever they want will remain the truth for tens of millions of Americans.

Yep. And they’ll call their destruction the “Restoration of Election Integrity” act.

Clearly, Q’s gonna have to work shape shifting, interdimensional aliens into his eliminationist rhetoric to help build the consensus that this emerging threat must be met with barbarity.

Everyone knows that undocumented immigrants who entered the country illegally are super eager to go to places to show documentation of where they are currently living to government employees.

The list of factual things MAGAs believe is much shorter than the list of mythical things they believe.

It won’t work. Biden was a genius to pick her and tutor her and elevate her. She’s got what it takes, plus the most winning smile.

This is the key to pretty much every GOP “issue” – always something that can’t be proven or, better yet, that you can’t prove or disprove it is proof of an even deeper conspiracy… sigh

And it also gives the wingnuts the gotcha ability to demand you disprove it. Then when you can’t because nobody can, boom – another lib pwned!

Exactly. “How do you know Martians and Venusians aren’t voting? Do you even know what they look like?”

He looks more teal than green. We might have different monitors.
