31. It's not as simple as you imagine it might be

I agree their will be plenty of ratfuckery and shenanigans, but cancelling elections involves much more than just deploying ICE to polling places (which would be blocked by a court injunction, that believe it or not, Trump would obey)

Even with his private gestapo, Trump doesn’t have the resources to prevent the Blue Tsunami coming in November.

Reminder: elections were held during every war, including the civil war and after 9/11.

You still haven’t considered either the pushback from the courts, the states and the people, nor the consequences of having no congress in 2027.
