This choose your own adventure tool might be of interest and possible use as the election grows closer. It works for other political scenarios, too, as a way to think more about options and actions.[Home - What if Trump (or Biden) wins…](https://whatiftrumpwins.org/?link_id=1&can_id=2695542004f99d0dedbe8b7a06c504ac&source=email-this-is-a-coup-attempt-though-it-is-unlikely-to-succeed&email_referrer&email_subject=the-resource-is-out-whatiftrumpwinsorg)

I played with a few scenarios. Every “if trump wins” scenario has this line in the final paragraph:

“By Trump’s third term (officially as Vice President)…”

Taking a page from the Putin playbook.

It may be a sad commentary about the state of civil society that protest in the US may be akin to zip lining over a pit of hungry crocodiles using a frayed cable.

Some of the scenarios assume Trump is re-elected and refuses to go away, using the VP argument as a very transparent ruse to rule for a third term
