   What did Trump mean? "You'll never have to vote again."
   
   He has never shied away from telling us exactly who he is and what he will do. Should we set more store in his "dictator on day one"?

      If you actually want an answer it's going to take a lot more than that short quote.  Perhaps the 2 or 3 minutes preceding and following.  Context is everything, and you haven't given any at all.
      
      Or are you just griping, throwing dirt when you have nothing else?

         Here is the speech.  I feel like I lost a few IQ points listening to it trying to find the exact location of the quote in question.  His speeches should be about an hour shorter.
         
         You can begin listening around the 1:00:00 mark.   In my opinion, there is no context before or after his comment about him "fixing" things so that will never have to vote again.
         
         After that statement, he goes right into his conclusion...the whole  "we are a nation in decline" ...yada, yada, yada... Speaking in sing song, slurring so many words and odd changes of tone.  The whole speech was bizarre.
         
         To me, he couldn't be more clear. If he wins this next election he does not plan to leave office.

      Oh dear, so we have moved on from. J.D. Vance and cat ladies? Once again, this is nothing to concern yourself with. Trump needs Christians to vote in record numbers, in order to beat the cheat!
      Four years of repair vs. four more years of despair.... and they never need vote again, if voting isn't their cup of tea --- so to speak!

         He can still be a tyrant and a usurper of the democratic process and it does not necessarily imply that he considers himself immortal.
         
         I prefer the Right and ability to vote regularly, no Presidential Candidate should say that "you won't need to vote again" to anyone, how ludicrous is that?

               And how many years between now and when he actually dies? Are we all to expect not to need to vote during that time frame?
               
               It was still a dumb thing for him to say regardless of how you want to spin it.

               Have you watched the speech?  What does he mean when he says he'll have it "fixed" so good that they'll never have to vote again?   
               
               Does that mean that he'll have it fixed so good that upon his inevitable death his regime will continue to rule?  As we see in other dictatorial nations?
               
               "Researchers say another reason there is little change after a dictatorial ruler dies in office is that top officials see no reason to change policies. Some countries have changed the constitution to permit them to extend their terms, sometimes by many years. Frantz says they use that method to give the appearance of democracy rather than using force to remain in power."
               
               A dictator's death, rarely leads to regime change. 
               
               This is the situation in Hungary currently. Is this why Trump meets / consults with Victor Orban so often?  Learning just how to "fix" things?

      It would be nice if we don't have to go through this dramatic division within the country every 4 years.
      
      Maybe he plans on making us like North Korea, where the Presidency is inherited by someone within his family... rather than doing like the Democrats do and picking who-ever is the favorite with the Party elites, the donor class, as they say.

         Yes, it might be nice to avoid the divisions, but the divisions based on current opposing factions are unavoidable. Our sides are so different, and there are clear delineation between red and blue and I don't believe that they can be reconciled, really, at this point. We are going to have our own revolution which will be bloodless if conservatives accept it.
         
         What would be better for my stress is if Trump were consigned to eternal oblivion and MAGA scattered to the 4 winds. We are going to work hard toward that end this coming fall.

                  The Biden Administration did more damage than anyone probably originally thought they could accomplish...
                  
                  The Biden Administration killed the 'PetroDollar'... that became official this past June... we haven't even begun to feel the economic impact that is going to have.
                  
                  The UAE, Saudi Arabia, and of course Iran joined with China and Russia, and a majority of the world's nations are looking to follow suit.  All want to trade with one another, excluding the use of the dollar and the SWIFT system when doing so.
                  
                  And of course, we are backing two war efforts, which themselves are going to have economic and political fallout for America all over the globe.
                  
                  And the Biden Administration fleeced America of 10 trillion dollars in new debt, which so devalues the dollar, that we will now have to pay 1 Trillion dollars per year JUST to pay the interest on that debt... starting in 2025.
                  
                  Kamala being elected just means that the worst outcome of ALL the dire situations about to boil over is the most likely to occur... as it is a continuation of the incompetence and insanity of the current administration.

And force their centro banking worldwide on everyone by US fiat currency, military bases and policies.  Psychological operations (PSYOP) are operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their motives and objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of governments, organizations, groups, and large foreign powers.

               American like everyone to be like them. That's not happening anymore  Already BRICS has grown larger then the G7, in landmass, population,  economics, industrial, production, natural resources and so on. In the NATO church , you believe in it or not. All Empires collapse due to a lack of balance.  The US Blue and Red above all, they romantize their NATO church will save them or God has got their soul for backup.
