Let him, I dont care anymore tbh. We got the options of Satan or Lucifer for president right now. If he delays it maybe we'll get Beelzebub and Asmodeus as options too.

He will. Trump is a coward when confront. And if he doesn't, he gets dragged out kicking and screaming to the cheers of the nation who's sick of him.

Even if the election is delayed and we reach January 20th, whos going to kick Trump out of office? The secret service? Do we have any reason to believe theyd go through it? Theyre supposed to uphold the constitution right? Im pretty sure federal agents are also supposed to uphold the constitution and look at all the abuses theyve been committing lately.

Bill Maher has been the one warning about this and asking Democrat politicians and those fucking political experts who are always on tv or writing their opinion pieces about how Trump is bad and violating the Constitution and Republican are enablers. They always respond with everything will be ok, the secret service will drag him out, Republicans will do the right thing (el oh fucking el).

Also there wont be a civil war, there would just be more rioting. Most people will still try to go about their day, working and supporting their family. Theyre not about to take up arms.

The country is dead at that point anyway. Might as well expedite it so survivors can rebuild something.

Every time something like this happens theres like a 3-6 hour delay between the post and their responses. They wait to see how the talking heads spin it and then they feel comfortable conforming to the narrative.

Well, think of it this way: most of the people in this country who worship Trump do so at an arm's length, or considerably further. The Secret Service, the military brass, even the White House staff - people who have worked hard and adhered to strict discipline their entire adult lives to achieve their status - are the ones who have to put up with Trump - a reckless, childish, spiteful embarrassment of a human being who shits all over the concepts of hard work and dignity with every breath he takes - day in, day out. I could very well be naive in this line of thought, but assuming they aren't partisan hacks themselves, I like to imagine that these are the kinds of people who would personally grab Trump by his ear and drag him out of the White House as soon as they have the legal clearance to do so.

trump staffed those departments though. all he'd have to do is give the secret service more money for the 'hookers and blow' parties, and promise the military brass more brown people to shoot for oil.

To put is simply: Trump couldn't pull this off even if he actually tried to: he's simply too unpopular, and his only skill is to alienate anyone he interacts with extensively.
Nonetheless, the mere suggestion delaying a constitutionally-mandated election is dangerous, and if he must be forcibly removed from office, that would be a dangerous escalation. All of this seems designed to cast doubt on his (likely) electoral defeat and will only serve to weaken faith in our elections further.

This. Sitting back and saying, "but the law says you can't do that" means nothing with this president at this point.

Yeah I listened to this 4 years ago when the gop said it about obama.

This notion you have that Twitter is real is going to be met with a stark disappointment. The military isn't going to start killing their squad mates over trump. Trump is too much of a pussy to stand up and face the consequences that he would face in refusing to leave office. He would be forcibly removed and then jailed. He's fucked up covid so badly that as long as people don't act like you and actually go out and vote. The dnc is very likely to take control of senate.

Think with your head instead of fear mongering. He's going to whine for the next decade and do the same thing he did with Obama and pretend he would have done everything better. And the gop will have to make the choice to keep their saddle hitches to him and continue to shrink their base or finally go back to being against him after he loses.

Right after you explain how trump is going to delay the election. Stay in office. And a man that was to afraid to go to vietnam is going to start a war where the best army in the world simply has to take him out to stop it. Will ever come into reality.

So you cant point to anyway for your fearmongering to come true. And you expect me to believe an idiot who has said stupid shit for however long he's been on twitter that he doesn't follow through on is going to suddenly put himself at risk of being imprisoned? Make up your mind is he the moron he's shown himself to be for his entire life or is he the stable genius he also said on Twitter that's going to orchestrate something so impossible you can't think of a single plan for him to accomplish it.

Fuck off.

The law doesn't work when one side thinks that the piece of paper that wrote the law is toilet paper.

Trump is doing everything in his power to sow doubt into the 2020 election so if/when he loses, he can claim fraud and the GOP will just follow behind him. Unless the federal marshals/Secret Service get tired of his shit and forcefully take him out, I can see a scenario where he'll try to hold onto the presidency as long as possible.

And no, I don't think this is the "likely" scenario, but we're talking about a man who's trying to run a country like a business and said man bankrupted casinos. The guy thinks the president is literally above the law and can do whatever he wants. The guy changes his mind on things every hour.

You can't predict with any certainty how Trump will take losing the election while in power because he's a literal wild card.

Trump is doing everything in his power to sow doubt into the 2020 election so if/when he loses, he can claim fraud and the GOP will just follow behind him.
And his power to do so is 0. He needs 2/3 to change the election. There is nothing he can do. If he refuses to leave he will be dragged out by the secret service. And with neither the protection of the presidency and likely without a gop majority senate to save him from the legal consequences. Trump is a moron and a coward. Both of which stop this from being time trump lied on twitter #8374828273827372

Everything else is the same fear mongering the GOP said about Obama. The army isn't going to turn against each other for trump. No matter how much you want to believe it because you think twitter is real.

Just FYI, election day is set by the U.S. Constitution. Congress could move it a little bit, but it would require a constitutional amendment to delay it past December. Congress would have to start either process and there's approximately 0% chance a Pelosi-led House would even take up legislation to delay the election.

This is false, mail in voter fraud is significantly more likely. It's just we count voter fraud in the hundreds. And voter fraud in mail is usually unintentional, like when trump did it
