I'd make sure I have bottled water, food, etc. for the near future at least. This will probably get fairly interesting.
Of course, I could be completely wrong. But I will say this: I think the chances are better than 50/50. Trump is not a career politician and is not the least bit concerned with political fallout against the republicans. I don't think he likes them any more than the democrats. He's going to do what he honestly thinks is the best thing for our country, and if he sincerely believes that this election was stolen via massive fraud, he will consider it his duty to stop it, even if it costs bloodshed. To make an omelet you have to break some eggs. And not to mix metaphors, but better to endure a short period of pain to protect our nation and constitution than go the way of Russia in the early 20th century.
And if you don't think at least 100,000,000 Americans see it this way, you are deluding yourself. This election is not about who wins. It's about protecting the process from overt and in your face fraud. The country will not survive it if it is not quelled.
This helps him to do it: Republican Legislatures Choose Alternate Electors in NV, WI, GA, PA, AZ to Preserve Election Challenge Options
Firewood. You may need that too.  |
There's no way the alleged 'voter fraud' can be construed as an attempted coup.
The SCOTUS has not washed their hands of the affair.
Obama joked about the Navy Seals evicting Trump. If he (Trump) attempts to circumvent the SCOTUS decision by declaring martial law, the nearest sworn patriot of the US Constitution could assassinate him and surrender immediately. That 'hero' would most likely be pardoned, if he or she survived the incident.
Just one possible scenario. Not saying that's what should be done.
