This country isnt making it to the next presidential election without mass turmoil and unrest. It will be an entirely different place again by then.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

2026 is going to be madness. And if Democrats don’t take the house, 2028 will be the end.
We are commenting on a thread about the current president openly interfering in state elections. It can be assumed the elections will be compromised.

I’m pretty sure we’ve crossed that rubicon, the last election was just that. Cross your fingers if you must, but I don’t believe for one second that votes matter anymore in the “united” states.
Stop relying on elections to save you. You can't vote your way out of fascism. The only way out is through mass civil unrest. Strikes, blackouts, protests.

That and many other moves that can be interpreted as “preparing” for upcoming elections, like deploying troops, buying voting machine manufacturers, …
It is very clear where all this is going. Don’t wait for elections to make your voice heard.
Gavin, stop complaint about him doing illegal shit if you’re not going to do anything about it.
Tell the others.
I thought states are in control of elections?
States are. Trump's "monitors" have no authority to go anywhere where the state tells them not to go. They have no authority to "review" or change anything.
But many of those states are run by Republicans who have every incentive to cheat
That's something internal to the state, that the state will have to deal with, like "CyberNinjas." What Trump wants is to directly interfere with election results, using Feds. The law is really clear that the states run their own elections.
The law is really clear on a lot of things that haven't stopped or slowed the regime.

And we all know Trump and maga are really into following laws and being fair.
They can make up bogus "fraud" claims, then take it to the supreme court, and have them rubber-stamp a republican victory.
California will refuse the court order... and voila... a constitutional crisis.
trump will send in the army and declare martial law, and order the assassination of newsom. Civil war...
Can't he kick them out like Florida and Texas did?
Election workers gonna have these jag offs breathing down their necks
Wait, that's illegal
