lol cool so he just said the quiet part of the playbook out loud.
For those in the back: he’s gonna get the US in to a Serious Fucking War right before the next election so that he can pretend he’s got justification to call off elections.
Pay no mind to the fact that FDR won his third term at the peak of WW2.
Come to think of it: that’s probably why he wants to do it: he knows he probably can’t win another election (putting aside the illegality of running and serving for a third term), and doesn’t want to think about himself being overshadowed by “some old librul Democrat from the 1940s”. And yes, that is a completely serious guesstimate on orangeboi’s rationale for this.
Legally, it won’t matter. He doesn’t hold office until the next guy, his term ends in 2029. If there is no replacement, the office is simply vacant, and we already have processes for that.
Legally, it won’t matter. If (when) he’s ignoring the laws to that level, it doesn’t matter what anyone pretends happened with an election. The laws will have no bearing anyway.
So he can “cancel” the election, but only red states would listen. Blue states would still hold elections and report results. And with red states not holding elections, it’s safe to say any election would lean heavily left.
So republicans would only lose seats, and trump would get zero electoral college votes. Well, most likely every red state would still try to send electors for trump
After midterms we’ll be able to see what’s gonna happen if that plays out.
But honestly, blue states should be prioritizing building up their own NG the next three years just in case.
“Serving” LOL as of Trump is serving anyone but himself. He’s made billions in bribes since taking power. He doesn’t serve Americans, he serves himself to whatever he wants. Mostly golf and killing people.

Most importantly, the states run the elections.

He can’t fucking die soon enough.
That’s the other hope by a lot of us.
He could keep going for another 20 years.
It’s cute that you think laws matter to the fascists.
That’s the entire gist of what I’m trying to point out here. You’re stuck on what “legality” means. I’m saying they’re changing the definition.
That’ll be before the midterms, in case anyone wasn’t clear about that.

He truly just cannot help himself… Could be our one saving grace. That and the sheer incompetence.
