There’s this, and it’s arguably true, but let’s remember what Trump is legally able to do or not do has been a line he’s pushed — successfully! — time and time again. Law means nothing without people to hold him to it.https://t.co/MRGMZ7g8kv

How many times have we heard, “BUT HE CAN’T DO THAT,” and then he does it, and it’s like, welp.

My concern is how many Republican controlled states, how many states with total Republican control in the legislature (that we’ve seen totally and utterly neuter gubernatorial power because of how completely they’ve controlled the legislature), etc. will go along with the scheme and totally shatter the integrity of the elections. Not prevent them necessarily but enough to create a de facto coup through the courts or military, because, as Wendig has said, what is actually law hasn’t fucking mattered a whole bunch when Trump has gladly shitkicked his way past the law and the only levers of accountabilty for it are owned almost wholesale by his toadies.
