yep
Part two of the SHTF depends on part one.
We can not be so naive as to think they will allow these elections to run “normally”, particularly when it appears the electorate is displeased with the regime.
If we are not prepared for these “crises”, we’ll be sitting at our PCs in December, saying, “WTH were we thinking- of course they were going to try to scam the elections!”
So, part two could get ugly. If the American electorate perceives that the regime is actually depriving us of free elections, Katie bar the door.
We may be simple folks- we like our Bill of Rights, Constitutional originalism, and we are G-d fearing and family loving people, but when it comes to these scum, we MUST think outside the box.
