The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Unconstitutional Slop

Yeah this. The first thing that needs to be addressed with any “it’s against the law” argument involving the GOP is “ok but what if they do it anyway”. There is no world in which Trump issues an order to cancel elections and we end up with President Pelosi. So what ACTUALLY happens?

My guess is the same thing that happened when they refused to allow Obama to appoint a scotus justice. We all sit and look nervously at each other while we watch our democracy fail before our eyes.

What you’re talking about is a coup—which requires the military. They’ve signaled they’re not down for that and it’s a line they won’t cross after the DC protests

Just quoting here because don’t want to take the COVID thread on a derail.

But it doesn’t require a military coup.

Tell me what happens if Trump decides the election isn’t valid because voter fraud in Milwaukee or Philadelphia or Detroit and the Supreme Court agrees.
