Interfere electronically with vote tallies.


That is the stuff of Election Denialism, and was false in both 2020 and 2024.

Declare Dem wins invalid with false claims of voter fraud.


And that declaration would mean Jack squat, just like all his previous EO’s on voting have been ignored by the states without consequences.

Have Mike Johnson refuse to swear in Dem winners.


Johnson’s term as speaker ends 12/31/26. On 01/03/27, the members-elect, as certified by their states, select the next speaker, who then swears in the next congress en masse. There is a process for objecting to the seating a member-elect, and there is a reason it hasn’t been used at the beginning of a new congress- because it would cause a domino effect of objections resulting in no member being sworn in that day.

The possibilities are limited only by the imagination and determination of Trump's enablers.


The possibilities are limited by the laws, both federal and state, and the pushback from the states and the people, and most importantly, the laws of physics. (In other words, Nationwide Martial law is a physical impossibility)

Just because you can imagine something and type it on the internet does not make that thing plausible, possible or probable.

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