59. Yes we know that

Sat Sep 27, 2025, 08:59 AM

Yesterday

Anyone who has been paying attention knows that Trump's ambition is to stay in power for the rest of his life if possible. Just like Putin.

He will do everything in his power to corrupt our system of elections. It's an amalgam of state and local officials and volunteers, and it has always been vulnerable. That's the first goal.

Then as you say, if the election turns out the "wrong way" Trump could simply ignore the result. Cause a Constitutional crisis and implement some form of martial law.

I disagree that if Trump goes away tomorrow that the Fascist Right will cede their power. Trump didn't write Project 2025. There are plenty of people some of them far worse that Trump ready willing and awaiting to take the throne.
