Why would they be “fraudulent” votes? Just because that dude is a disingenuous moron?

Because, to nazis, all non white Christian evangelicals can never be citizens; they are for slave labour, otherwise extermination.

It's like nobody even understands nazism. At this point it's hard to tell who's more mentally ill; the fascists, psychopaths, and sociopaths succeeding in their coup via their puppet political class, or the libs pleading to a controlled opposition and stacked judicial system, MIC, and surveillance state for protection; looking for some 4D chess master plan throughout the entire coup... just waiting for the mass imprisonment, torture, and murder to start... as though it's avoidable, and will all be over if Trump croaks.

I can't put it into words good, but I think the basic idea is that they're poor, they'll vote for social assistance programs, only Democrats give lip service to offering such programs, therefore they essentially have no choice but to vote for Democrats to access such programs. These chuds don't like when poor people vote for their own interests, and obviously they can't offer such programs to try to win such votes because... reasons?

It would undermine their entire anti-socialist and anti-Democrat rhetoric. They campaigned on the premise that social services and welfare are the sole cause of out-of-control government spending taking money out of the Average Joe's pocket (conveniently ignoring military and federal agency spending) and used it as a hook to sell their policies to the poor, stupid, and xenophobic.

The depressing part is that they could offer such programs and they would still keep most of their voters as long as they frame the programs as helping the everyday American and don't call it welfare. A progressive Republican would still get votes, since their voters vote by party loyalty (tribe/team) and not by policy.
