The problem is, we live in the same house that they are setting on fire……..

Trump is going to destroy the Republican party as punishment for not supporting his insurrection. Why are these Republicans not understanding Trumps character and toxic personality? Has anyone survived the transactional lifecycle relationship with him? Nobody has. Wake up cowards in the U.S. Legislature. Don’t sell our country out for your selfish temporary political embarrassment. These Republicans are larger targets than democrats, and they don’t realize that.

Hey Fred! The GOP is gone. What’s left is MAGA.

I don’t know who to talk to but you do. This ex Intel guy strongly believes there will be violent attacks on vulnerable spots they choose in swing states for starters. And in the confusion they’ll grab for power in the House and Senate, faking the needed steps to throw the election to the House.

Why? It’s all they have left. They are planning it now and they have no integrity or compunction whatsoever about overturning the will of American voters and our democracy.

Please pass it on. It’s unthinkable only because normal people don’t think that way.

But Bannon? Gates? MTG? Trump? They’re all in.

Pass it on.

I have the same fear.

Intentions and capabilities. And it doesn’t take much.

I have been thinking about this scenario also. but wouldn't Biden still be in office. The transfer of power after the election doesn't occur until January. Couldn't Biden declare Martial Law if what you say transpired? Isn't that what Trump wanted to do himself in the last election so he could stay in power?

Indeed Biden will still be in office. Can you imagine the confusion with violence involved and a Congress willing to claim Trump won? Who's to say when guys with guns show up what any of the parties involved will do? I can only imagine that with a complicit right wing Governor in many States how the fight could easily end badly - and then the Military would be the only source of adjudication.

Just keep the fire extinguisher handy, because they might try to burn it all down...

That’s exactly what Bannon and his ilk have been saying all along. Tfg is too dense to realize he was just their match and his base, the gasoline. If it does all go up in flames, what will happen when the rubes(us included)don’t get their benefit checks? And how about all those federal dollars that all states have been taking for granted? The US will be in a world of hurt beyond what anyone can imagine if the worst happens in Nov. And if we escape this time with our butts still intact, stop sitting on the sidelines carping about how old, how too far right or left the candidates are. Get out and do better than any of what you’re unhappy about now.

By the way, did you all see where Jim Langford was threatened by a “tv personality” if he didn’t k.o. his own immigration bill?(Huff-Po this evening).

When you plan to run a police state, who needs followers?

All you need are block wardens to spy on residents, secret policemen to arrest citizens, and teachers who assign schoolchildren essays headed, "What My Parents Talk About At Home."

That's my point. These are the guys that would be the block wardens.

The block warden was the most important man in Nazi Germany.

He kept files on the block's residents and regularly turned them in to the various police agencies.

Did anyone watch The Man In The High Castle on Prime? I started watching it but had to stop because I felt it was getting too close to happening. If you can get it, watch it.
