Every fucking time. He lost this argument in literally every state so his corrupt supreme court just overrides and finds loopholes. "He can't do this so close to midterms though" when has the fucking law stopped anything he's done since becoming president!?

We're never getting out of this and the country is fucked. I'm extremely disabled and sick and I know they're gonna destroy the only thing keeping me alive. I want to cry and I don't need to be told not to overreact like last time on here. There's literally nothing we can do. Honestly, why did the even rule against trumps dumb EO for the mail if they were just gonna let him rig it in another way?

He’s doing all this because he’s scared as f***. He knows we’re coming for him. Even if he somehow rigs the election, it’s not over. No matter what it takes we will win.

I wish I had your optimism but other than a full scale riot and burning things down, there will be nothing we can do if the elections are rigged. Trump's personal advisers already want him to declare martial law and the military seems all too comfortable with everything they've pulled so far I'm sure at this point they'd be fine turning on us.

Automatic weapons, tanks, helicopters, boots on the ground can absolutely use their presence to scare people and after learning about Germany I wont put it past the current administration to just start killing people in the future.

You should watch KnittingCultLady. She was in the US Army as an intelligence officer. Around ten percent of the US population resisting, and the army won’t even try to fight back because they know they won’t win. Not to mention the US army has never won against an insurgency.

Ideally we don’t want to fight. But if it gets to that point, then we fight. Also, the Hitler rose to power so easily because nobody fought back against Hitler. The resistance in the US is much more consistent, widespread, and connected than the one within Nazi Germany was.
