Better yet how about Pole taxes?

Immigration and tariffs in one policy.

I doubt he’d be treated as a lame duck anyway, at least by the GOP, what with his control over his ~40MM mindslaves.

Everything makes sense and is directionally predictable except guns. Why is he underwater on guns?

@LuFins-Dad said in Will we have a free election in 28? Or even 26?:

It will depend on how close it is.

He claims he won the popular vote in California as well as nationally in 2016. Not exactly close.

No standing. These are state elections with state law enforcement.

That’s a court decision. He can send Kash’s goons to collect machines without going to courts. Yeah the states could sue but not until after he’s got them.

Whether they do or not is irrelevant. The Court has shown their willingness to stand up to him. I suspect Congress is as well.

Congress would in 28, as it’ll be democratically controlled. Which is why I’m concerned about 26.

But really it comes down to whether he’ll defy the courts, as his VP and most maga influencers are already asking him to.

That’s one step above calling me deranged. But which of my propositions in the first post do you think are true?

Kill me now.

The clown show continues.

So it will ultimately come down to whether he’s willing to defy scotus. That’s not too comforting.

Again, refusing to leave would require a military coup. He will be escorted out of the building if he does not leave willingly, and then it would come down to force vs force, if necessary.

He declares some votes “fraudulent”, ergo his guy actually won the state, a compliant state gop sends electors, the house and VP certifies them. No tanks needed.

That’s what he tried in 2020 and a handful of patriots stopped him, up to his veep.

The religion of peace murdering 25 Indian civilians in Kashmir.

So it will ultimately come down to whether he’s willing to defy scotus. That’s not too comforting.

As we’ve seen he can get tens of millions to believe or pretend to believe that the votes really are fraudulent and by rejecting them he is “saving democracy”. It’s not hard for me to imagine Bondi and Hegseth telling themselves that story and thinking they’re doing the “right thing”.

No he’d go through the whole process after removing “fraudulent votes”. Not talking military coup. More like Venezuela

Who would stop him this time, is the question. It’s not Kash Patel. It’s not JD Vance. It’s not Hegseth.
