The evil cabal has had a few years to formulate and refine a plan. I believe it’s going to be a cover all bases strategy. - Suppress the vote in Democratic areas. Do this by massive voter purges, unfair distribution of voting machines and paper ballots, restricting absentee voting by silly shit like requiring notarization, making it illegal to provide food and water to those waiting in long lines, etc. This is already part of the standard GOP (Groupies of Putin) playbook. - Intimidate and harass election workers as they count the ballots. This is certain. - Pressure county officials to not certify the votes in counties Biden wins. This is certain. - Get GOP state legislatures to refuse to certify Biden electoral votes. This is certain. - Get Pravda (Fox News) and Tass (OANN) to air nonstop conspiracy theories of election fraud. This is certain. - Attempt to reject electors for Biden on January 6, 2025. This is certain. Now for the more desperate and more unlikely scenarios: - Assassinate Supreme Court justices who might object to a Republican coup. - Attempt to overwhelm security at the White House and Capitol buildings and lynch every Democrat. Fortunately, there won’t be a sitting president kneecapping security precautions this time arround… - Massive riots and looting in the streets. ---

> [@E-DUB](#): > > If the Republicans loses their House majority in the election (assuming they haven’t lost it before then by sheer attrition), they could question the legitimacy of newly elected Dems and refuse to seat them. If they lose their majority they would have no power to refuse to seat anybody. Furthermore, the Supreme Court ruled that Congress can only exclude someone if they fail to meet the Constitutional requirements of age, citizenship, and residency. ---

It should be noted that the new House meets on January 3, 2025 , so it is not a given that they will have a majority of state delegations controlled by Republicans. It’s possible but not likely that the Democrats could gain the upper hand with the 2024 elections and thus prevail should the electors counted on January 6 fail to reach a majority. ---

Trump supporters without criminal record might move to Russia if Biden is reelected. Lot of Trump Supporters seem to be a fan of Russia. ---

> [@Imuseless](#): > > Trump supporters without criminal record might move to Russia if Biden is reelected. Are you serious? Are they talking about it on the internet? There were leftist Americans who moved to Russia/USSR in the 1920’s and 1930’s. I have read a few books on their experiences. It worked out tremendously poorly. ---

That’s my assumption. But if I had to guess then yes the Trump Supporters might move to Russia. Russia is not communist now since from 1922 to 1991. But Russia is still a dictatorship I believe a fascist dictatorship. ---

Yep. Did you know most of Europe except for UK and Ireland allows people with criminal records to immigrate there if the crime was longer then 10 years which EITAS looks at. There is YouTuber by the name of Common Sense Laws from Florida who served 22 years in a Florida prison for a sex offence including 10 years in isolation for escape risk on Martin treatment centre civil commitment. He got out in 2016 and seeked asylum in Germany in 2018 and sued the US government for human rights violation of sex offenders in USA which he won and now is a citizen of Germany. I understand child molestors and adult rapists ruin lives like murderers, abusive police officers who commit police brutality, domestic abusers, gang members and abusive correctional officers. ---

Correct. “Stand back and stand by” being a perfect example. ---

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > I think perhaps the 1265 [people who were charged](https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/36-months-jan-6-attack-capitol-0) in relation to the January 6 violence, and the 467 who received jail time might have put a bit of a damper on the enthusiasm. One of the elements that will mitigate the risk of another 1/6 is the concern by the MAGAts that any further call for action will be an “FBI trap” as so many of them already believe 1/6 to have been. It’s one of the reasons the recent convoy to go defend the border didn’t really happen - many of the faithful got cold feet about getting arrested. ---

It was just a convenient stream of consciousness event. Trump would not talk about cars any longer than that. He only likes to talk about himself. ---

Can we convince them voting is also an FBI trap? Also, they don’t have BLM to blame it on again since they moved on to some other boogeyman. ---

> [@Munch](#): > > Not only will they try to do it again on January 6, they’ll try to do it at the state level in battleground states when the electors gather. Which happens on December 17 in 2024 (the Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December, according to 3 USC 7). There’s also Plan B: never mind the Presidential race - concentrate on electing Representatives and Senators; if MAGA can get control of both, they can do a repeat of 1876. (I say “MAGA control” instead of “Republican control” as I definitely see some Republican holdouts in the Senate.) ---

And note that, on 17 December in a majority of states the legislatures and election officials certifying the results will still be the ones _currently in office_ , not any newly elected in November. ---
