Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency

[Fiendish Thingy]

15. So sorry to hear you have succumbed to defeatist Doomerism

Despite acting with lawless impunity on a daily basis, This administration has been stalled, stymied or restrained numerous times over the past year.

No troops were deployed in Chicago or Portland

Kilmer Garcia is free on US soil

Little Liam and his father are free and back in Minnesota.

And those are just the headline grabbers.

He just needs the justification to put armed troops outside every polling station. He just has to do it in such a way that by the time any court gets around to making a decision that the midterm elections will already be over.

You don’t seem to understand the physical logistics of “putting armed troops outside every polling station”. The troops have to be transported, housed, fed etc. It’s not something that can be done quickly and quietly, in secret overnight.

It’s also a physical impossibility to do it outside every polling place, and a strategic impossibility to accurately choose which places would be the most important to disrupt, given that 2024 red Trump districts have been swinging 15-30 points towards the Dems in elections over the past year.

Trump may attempt to defy the laws of the land, but nobody can defy the laws of physics.

To the rest of the folks still in the reality-based community, never forget this one absolute truth:

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