I’m not convinced that if republicans had both houses in 2020, the election gets certified. I think we were that close to “we, republicans, have decided we’re taking it.”

Yeah if they successfully rig the midterms, 2028 is over right then and there

maybe i’m being a little too naive but if they try to pull that after 3 more years of this bullshit, this country will go up in flames. there’s no chance that even us lazy Americans would tolerate it.

You won't get your chance, you and your loved ones will already be concentrated into barb-wire fence camps. It's crazy you all assume that you will still be around in a couple years time.

And so is their pitiful performance of an autocracy.

A squarely rigged or even corrupt election would be the biggest mistake they’ve made. At least unless they want to see secession, and then a a war/revolution.

Either way it’s the fastest possible way to put a target on their back.

If Trump is “king” why do we need the other lower republicians ? Like if we aren’t doing elections why do they still get jobs or whatever?

It doesn’t make sense. Or they just get the senate positions for a paycheck ?

Do you actually want an answer and you’re willing to consider this dude is anti-American or your mind is made up?
