    Let it go! We are not going to have a civil war or wide spread civil unrest. Americans can't even follow some basic health protocols in the name of 'freedom'. The ultra wealthy, middle class america and the political parties have no interest in violence. There will be a resolution, even if the Republicans throw Trump out themselves. Trump is not a Republican. He is just the current tool for the Republican party.

    You living in some sort of fantasy. Zero cities have abandoned policing in favor of mob justice. You appear to reactionary and alarmist bordering delusional paranoia.

    Geezus. Mail in voting is not rigged. Votes wont be changed or destroyed. The states are mailing out ballots to REGISTERED voters. It's not worth going to jail to change one vote.

    I don't fear a fire and brimstone Trump dictatorship like you are portraying. I am just concerned about the chaos that will erupt between Nov 3 and the date that John Roberts swears in the next president. I hope I am wrong and it's business as usual, but when you have someone openly saying they aren't going to accept the election results, and will fight it, and their attorney general & secretary of state have talked openly about litigation potential in contesting the election, it just sets a pretty bleak preview for whats to come.

    That being said, no there will not be a Civil war. That's F-ing nuts.

    Between Nov 3 and January the states will certify their elections, and someone will get 270 electoral votes, and John Roberts will swear in the new President, and the military will immediately report to that president.... then no civil war because no Militia can compete with the United States military.... Especially an ANTIFA militia that doesn't even believe in owning guns. The constitution is clear what happens if the States cannot certify the election, and that ball then goes to Nancy Pelosi which is something I don't know if the Republican held states want to take a risk at entertaining.

    So it's important to understand the constitution and it's important for Biden's camp to pressure test these scenarios, but it's not something that anyone should be freaking out about too much. The media needs to press Congress members, and the Executive Branch cabinet members to give assurances to the American people, but asking the questions, and discussing how the Constitution works is NOT the same as having a "Pipe Dream about a Trump Dictatorship...."
