The Atlantic magazine gives us new reasons to fear Donald Trump and his sycophants and enablers.


a small part of the article

"The worst case, however, is not that Trump rejects the election outcome. The worst case is that he uses his power to prevent a decisive outcome against him. If Trump sheds all restraint, and if his Republican allies play the parts he assigns them, he could obstruct the emergence of a legally unambiguous victory for Biden in the Electoral College and then in Congress. He could prevent the formation of consensus about whether there is any outcome at all. He could seize on that uncertainty to hold on to power.

Trump’s state and national legal teams are already laying the groundwork for postelection maneuvers that would circumvent the results of the vote count in battleground states. Ambiguities in the Constitution and logic bombs in the Electoral Count Act make it possible to extend the dispute all the way to Inauguration Day, which would bring the nation to a precipice. The Twentieth Amendment is crystal clear that the president’s term in office “shall end” at noon on January 20, but two men could show up to be sworn in. One of them would arrive with all the tools and power of the presidency already in hand."

If Trump loses the popular and electoral vote (as projected after the election) it is possible that Trump will appeal to Republican dominated state legislatures in states won by Biden and put pressure on them to send delegates pledged to Trump. This sounds off the wall and crazy but according to the magazine it is being explored by the Trump campaign as a way Trump can keep power even if he loses both ends of the election.

If this is really something Trump is considering we as a nation are approaching a new American form of fascism with Trump as its head.

We don't know about the future but what we do know is that the left have been trying to overturn the 2016 election for four solid years and we do know that this year Hillary has told Biden not to concede the election. That's what we do know.

We now exactly know about the future - at least the electoral part of it - since Trump has provded us a roadmap to his own positions regarding the election.

Refusal to see the danger that is facing our nation in the person of Trump only makes one a sycophant and enabler of modern American facism that Trump represents.

We know that the left are laying down their insurance policy in case they lose - Post Office Collusion. And, the funny part of it is that while the left rail nonstop about post office collusion, they actually encourage their supporters to vote by mail! And, Hillary has already told Biden not to concede the election, while accusing Trump of refusing to leave if he loses. Comedy gold.

Your biased partisan driven opinion is nonsensical and makes no sense since it is TRUMP who is attacking the post office.
