20%-differential-route, "obvious" election fraud, and how many, usually and predictably bystander, MAGAs will allow themselves to get sucked into street activism. Because most (in some area codes, all) of the cops in red zones are openly MAGA, I don't count on "peace officers" to uphold just or resolute enforcement to the letter of the law.

If we're respectfully quiet, trusting in our system, its stellar actors and allow the law to work its usual magic, we could see Trump in the oval office no matter the vote in January 2025. If we've had enough of blatant corruption and absurd law mis-enforcement, we may end up learning "crowd dispersal 101" from armed men in blue from army surplus tanks. Dare we even contemplate the state of affairs if there is a red state governor's rebellion vis-a-vis the national guards?

I know. Can't happen here. I had to unload some of this stuff. You just happened to be there, sorry.
