    What would stop Donald Trump if he just decided that he and his followers are not going to follow the Constitution anymore and they're going to follow the Constitution of Donald Trump?
    and say for example he got state governors involved and so the battle would be over states' rights over government rights?
    And then you could have Republican America versus Democrat America?

    I feel like we're pretty much there already so what's to say that Donald Trump couldn't do this?
    I'm not sure that the courts are law enforcement would do anything to push back on Donald Trump and his followers.
    I'm incorrect me if I'm not wrong but we are pretty much in a civil war on democracy whereas Republicans are on one side and Democrats are on the other. And there seems to be at issue what democracy really is?

    I don't see why not. Literally half the country believes the way Donald Trump believes.
    I don't see how this isn't a real possibility.

    He is more likely to concede if he lost. Then start a media company (rumor but valid considering he is into media and will have a grudge). Or run in 2024. Or prepare his offspring to run.

    I'd welcome it. They can fit their entire population easily in the Southeast. Do we REALLY need to Southeast?:D

    He's already defrauding the election so why would any of his followers do anything that Biden said.
    What if Trump comes out and just says don't listen to Biden He's not the real president. What then?
    He's already pretty much organized that to begin with.
    he could then set up his own office just like a presidential office and say that follow me this is what we're doing.

    The point is is we're getting dangerously close to the point of people wanting to split away from the Constitution because they don't believe they don't trust it.

    Trump’s true base is about 1/3rd of the people that voted for him...maybe less. If he tried to do anything, there would be a number of people that would step in and stop him immediately...including many politicians that have kept quiet or “sided” with him. In the end, the idea that most folks would want to secede isn’t a real option...most of the states where that kind of talk happens are poor and would struggle without the rest of the states.

    Even if they got that far, it’s likely the military would be called in to stop any uprising that might pop up.

    Department of Defense heads aren’t the military...the Generals lead the military and there is no way they would allow any uprising to happen at this point.

    He can have the panhandle, but that's it.

    F-you man. I lived in memphis next to mississippi and believe me, that place is more progressive and cool than a lot of other states.
    I'm very fond of the Mississippi Delta.
