Democrats Are “Despicable” “Savages” Who Can Only Win the Election By Cheating

Much of the violent rhetoric being deployed online is inspired by the narrative that claims the Democrats are cheating to win the election. While this narrative has been a favorite of the MAGA crowd for years, the accounts spreading it online are taking an increasingly militant tone as the election nears, describing Democrats in terms of good-versus-evil, as existential threats, or as less than modern humans.

“DEMOCRATS ARE SO FK PATHETIC,” wrote a GETTR user who went on to link to an article on the disinformation-peddling site, InfoWars, about allegations that Vice President Kamala Harris plagiarized passages in her autobiography. “THEY CAN ONLY WIN BY CHEATING, LYING, STEALING, USING--- IN EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES INCLUDING NON POLITICAL THESE PPL ARE FKG SAVAGES!!!”

“Democrats just suck,” reads a post on Patriots from last Monday. “Lying cheating despicable beings!!!”

“People need to learn and realize that the only thing democrats are good at is lying,” wrote a GETTR user last week, in a post that received heavy engagement from other accounts. The user then cited a report from the far-right Heritage Foundation alleging that the US is riven with widespread voter fraud. “It’s a proven fact that the only way democrats can win elections is by cheating.”

“They [Democrats] all worship the fallen angel,” reads one of the many replies to that GETTR post, portraying Democrats as evil.

“Some of these ‘problems’ should be dealt with by firing squads,” reads another reply. “But we would probably have to shoot 90% of the US SENATE FIRST…”

“A reason for prosecution Make it happen,” wrote yet another user in response.

Several weeks ago, we saw the Dems-will-cheat narrative start to evolve, with unmoderated social media accounts claiming that Trump is so overwhelmingly popular that the only way Democrats can win is via fraud. (We’ve since seen this narrative hit mainstream social media, with high-profile right-wing accounts citing easily-manipulapted odds from the Peter Thiel-backed betting site, Polymarket, that favor a Trump victory. It's worth noting that Americans are not currently permitted to use Polymarket's election-betting feature.) This latest twist in the narrative has also taken an a turn toward the hateful, dehumanizing, and violent.

"The only reason democrats can with the popular vote, or have wont [sic] he popular is there [sic] cheating constantly," reads a GETTR post. "The left is so evil and dishonest its [sic] scary."

"Democrats cannot win without cheating any way possible," reads another GETTR post that went on to plug a Russian tech company.

Democrats Are Traitors and Should Be Executed

Some of the posts listed above get at a narrative that has been increasing dramatically as the election nears: that democrats are traitors. This is often accompanied by the implication that Democrats' supposedly treasonous behavior should be met with the punishment associated with such treachery, execution.

“Don’t stand there and talk,” reads another reply to the GETTR post cited in the previous section before going on to push for the vice president to be charged with treason a crime punishable by death. “Harris committed treason against USA here . Plus Biden. Buoyed the constitution article IV Section 4. Charge her . Cite laws .”

“Personally, I’m of the opinion that to resign in disgrace and allowing them to walk away is NOT acceptable,” wrote another GETTR user responding to last week's post cited above. They went on to call for the execution, without due process, of Democrats and Republicans who are deemed disloyal to the far-right. “A TRAITOR SHOULD NEVER GO UNPUNISHED! It’s no different with corrupt treasonous democrats and rinos [Republicans-in-name-only]. When these violent gang members and other illegals commit violent crimes, they’re arrested, given a stern talking to, AND TURNED LOOSE! Is that what we’re planning for TRAITORS of America and the American people? God I hope not! In my opinion again, NO due process first off, and either life WITHOUT parole with absolutely no outside contact, or the death penalty. This country is practically sitting on the bottom and the rest of the world is catching fire BECAUSE OF THE DEMS.!!! And the rinos [Republicans-in-name-only] are the worst of the worst!”

"Anyone caught cheating it's treason death penalty tell all the illegal voter tell all the democrats and this time laws will be enforced hanging shooting which ever way a democrats demons likes it," wrote a GETTR user with attrocious sentence construction.

This message is partially built on the far-right’s longtime use of the “great replacement” theory which claims that some nefarious group is working to replace white, Christian people in western societies with immigrants from non-western, non-white, non-Christian societies. For years, the American far-right has deployed a variant of this narrative that falsely claims Democrats are importing immigrants who are being illegally registered to vote for Democratic politicians. A growing number of social media accounts are now accusing the Democrats who are supposedly behind this conspiracy of treason and advocating for a violent response.

“Damn shame you spent all of our money on your illegal undocumented democrat voters,” wrote a Bitchute user. “The penalty for treason is death. Make sure all of you traitors have your affairs in order.”

“The criminals in DC that allowed the invasion of the border needs to be arrested for treason," reads a Rumble post.

“Mayorkis [sic] should face a firing squad, no trial just arrest him and then firing squad," declared another Rumble post, referring to US Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, and implying he is playing a lead role in importing illegal voters to the United States.

Democratic Voters Are Evil and Need To Be Punished

While violent rhetoric directed toward famous Democratic politicians is not new, we are now seeing increasingly hostile language being used toward anyone who votes for Democrats. A large number of posts on unmoderated social media platforms are spreading dehumanizing language, death wishes, and all around hateful rhetoric about Democratic voters.

“I unequivocally despise, hate anyone that votes #Democrat God says not to hate, but when millions of people will vote for a Democrat Party thtr [sic] puts #IllegalAliens above Americans [sic] own citizens are not worth the air they breathe,” reads a post on Donald Trump-owned Truth Social.

"This motherf**ker sold out the North Carolina citizens to the globalists," wrote a Bitchute user late last week using an antisemtic dogwhistle. "You guys are f**ked. You f**ktards voted in a democrat for your governor so you deserve all this s**t. There is no climate change you idiots, that storm was man made. I am glad so many of you lost everything, and I am glad you have a traitor for governor. I hope the immigrants being sent to your state kill all of you. Go f**k yourselves c**ts."

“If you vote Democratic your [sic] communist and you need to be run out of America bunch of p***ies, thieves, crooks, and pedophiles,” exclaimed another GETTR user response to the post about Democrats cheating that we mentioned earlier in this report.

"It's getting to the point I want to know who votes democrat," reads another GETTR post. "Because when the SHTF and there's a complete collapse of our social structure I want to know exactly who my enemies are!"

"The saying 'We have met the enemy, and the enemy is ourself' applies to every democrat who votes enemies of the USA into office," wrote another GETTR user.

"Democrat voters are as evil as democrat politicians," reads another GETTR post. "If Kobamala wins this election our country will collapse under the weight of evil. Might collapse anyway but with Trump we have a shot at surviving."

"With how things are, anyone that votes Democrat is just as evil as they [Democratic politicians] are, imo," wrote a Gab user who linked to an article on ZeroHedge, the conspiracy-peddling blog with possible ties to Moscow, about the GOP's odds of gaining US Senate seats in November.

"Stop Current Voting." Threats Against Election Officials, Workers, and Infrastructure

With all of the talk about Democrats and the Deep State stealing elections from Republicans, it’s not surprising that aggressive rhetoric and threats against American election officials, poll workers, and even election-infrastructure are increasing. Much of this is built on calls by far-right accounts on unmoderated social media for invasive surveillance of voting sites, equipment, and staff.

“The communist/socialist/fascist/democrat party can not be trusted at all,” wrote a Rumble user. “The republicans MUST watch every drop box, record all transport of drop box pick ups and follow every vehicle.”

“I’ve never seen a voting drop box in real life, but if you have them, we need to monitor them 24/7,” reads a Patriots post.

“I thought that we had people watching every move at the polls,” wrote a GETTR user. “If NOT, THEN THERE SHOULD BE. NO ONE left alone with ballots. Cameras on entrances. I’m really sick of this.”

“Updates on North Carolina, Election Worker Reference Guides, VoteAlert, Ballot Dropbox Monitoring, and more,” reads a post on Truth Social advertising a webinar, hosted by the far-right group True the Vote, that will discuss efforts to surveil election operations. “Please join us Monday night for all kinds of updates. We are busy, busy, busy, busy, busy ... and full of hope. Lots of great stories to share. Listen in this Monday at 7p et / 6p ct / 4p pt!”

Predictably, these calls for surveillance, fueled by conspiracy theories about poll workers helping commit ballot fraud, paved the way for threats against election staff and the endorsement of violence against election infrastructure.

“Every time I see a ballot drop box I set it on fire,” wrote yet another Patriots user.

“Presidential Elections are meaningless to have if no controls on voter identification and proof of citizenship,” wrote the author of a post on Donald Trump’s Truth Social that received heavy engagement from other users. “Presidential Elections are meaningless [to] have if states allow NGOs to send members to swing states to be registered voters, vote Democrat, then operate as subcontractors to ingest ballots. Prevent another gaming of the [Electoral] college system as done in 2020. Get that photo and video evidence of something amiss! REPORT!”

“Yah,” replied one Truth Social user. “Let [sic] get all these corrupted politicians, poll workers.”

“It is never past time for accountability,” wrote another Truth user in response. “Our weaponized agencies are a disgrace to the citizens of the USA. Yes, the DOJ and FBI have committed treason against our country by withholding evidence they knew was true.”

Meanwhile, on Patriots, a user asked, “are they going to be watching the boxes and pulling out the votes when somebody illegally fills them? Will that person be identified and prosecuted?”

Some accounts supporting ex-President Donald Trump are even calling for voting––already underway in some jurisdictions––to be suspended.

"It is intellectually disabled to continue using our current voting system that is known to be criminal," wrote a Truth Social user. "Introduce an Emergency Measure to stop current voting and DEMAND implementation of #HonestStandardizedNationalVotingSystem BEFORE REAL Voting!"

Sadly, we expect that these narratives will increase in intensity in the days leading up to the election and, possibly, in the weeks afterward. We at Pyrra will continue to monitor them as they spread and evolve.
