With 162 days until the Presidential Election of 2020, we are on the brink of the most consequential constitutional crisis since the Civil War.
We have a renegade President who has made it clear that he has no intention of giving up his office if he loses on November 3.
It may not matter to him if the election is a landslide, and certainly not if it is close.
We have to expect that the Secret Service, the FBI, and military will intervene to insure a peaceful transition of power.
But the possibility of bloodshed and violence by the one third of the nation which are Trumpites is literally terrifying!
Trump is trying every tactic imaginable, including voter suppression; trying to make mail ballots not acceptable even though many people already vote by mail; foreign collusion; and gerrymandering attempts as methods to fix the election of our next administration.
This is a time to worry that anything is possible, as Donald Trump has authoritarian tendencies, and might be willing to unleash his followers to seize the government by force!
Heh. You’re starting to sound like me back in early March, Professor, when i first broached the questions of whether or not there would be an election in November and, if there was, if there would be an inauguration in January, regardless of who lost.
I’m more concerned about Trump winning than him losing. That will be four more years of more damage to our country.
