Unless he invades Greenland or Canada, or something emerges from the Epstein files (which a Dem congress could investigate thoroughly)that suddenly gives Republicans the courage to remove him.

isn't it almost certain that he will flood Blue States with ICE officers (thugs) to suppress the vote and terrorize the populace to prevent a Democratic election victory?

No it is nowhere certain, or even physically possible for that to happen.

To be sure, there will be plenty of ratfuckery and shenanigans, but as we saw in 2020, the states aren’t going to stand back and let Trump do whatever desperate flailing he has in mind.

Do not succumb to defeatist Doomerism, and never forget this one absolute truth:

Trump is not omnipotent, and the states and the people are not powerless
