33. Trump and Red State governments will make every effort to rig or overturn key midterm elections

Tue Dec 9, 2025, 10:17 AM

Dec 9

Up to and including Trump declaring martial law, siezing ballots to "ensure election integrity."

Look at how much damage this maladministration has done in less than 11 months. Economic pain is likely to get worse, especially as people lose health insurance or pay skyrocketing premiums. And he shows every indication of starting a real war with Venezuela.

All of which seems to indicate a blue wave next November, right?

The first rule of authoritarian regimes is they will do ANYTHING to maintain their grip on power. Trump was itching to use the military to shoot protestors in his first term. By next spring and summer, protests are likely to grow in size and anger. Violence is likely, possibly perpetrated by Proud Boys or other instigators. With martial law, free & fair elections are doubtful.

I hope that nightmare doesn't come to pass, but I've learned to be prepared for, if not expect, the worst.
