A landslide for Joe Biden resulted in a relatively orderly transfer of power. Every other scenario we looked at involved street-level violence and political crisis.


So, landslide for Biden, sweetness and light. But what about a landslide for Trump?

THE implication of a nationwide Democratic conspiracy to cheat in elections, starting with this one, is that America can no longer function as a democracy. I.e., another civil war is coming and it may start this December.

Historically Republicans have cheated as well as Democrats, but never on a national scale. Election cheating was either local, almost always on a city level, and sometimes at a state level. 2018 saw Democratic cheating on a coordinated state level, and by coordinated I mean there was mutual cooperation between Democratic parties in some states, possibly with national Democratic aid in funding. AFAIK that was entirely new.

The Democrats built on that 2018 experience to create the first ever election fraud on a national level. It is happening now. I am informed by the usual confidential reliable source that mail-in-ballots and addressed envelopes are being printed now on a really massive scale by private parties, i.e., not by state election officials.

THE implication of a nationwide Democratic conspiracy to cheat in a Presidential election is that America can no longer function as a democracy. I.e., another civil war is coming and it may start this December.

You are exactly right. But the poll burning will occur mainly in democrat cities. As a result the House will not agree to meet in joint conference with the Senate to count electoral votes because of massive disenfranchisement of voters because of the riots “CAUSED by Trump”. They are already using that line.

Without the electoral votes being counted there is a Constitutional crises. And Trump’s term ends.

Their are variants of this and similar approaches that the deep state has game plans for.

I’ve said it for two years now. They will not let Trump have a second term.

That’s interesting. But I think the poll burning is likely to be only in Republican areas or, possibly both. The MSM will certainly give either strategy cover. That way they can win outright.

***A landslide for Joe Biden resulted in a relatively orderly transfer of power. Every other scenario we looked at involved street-level violence and political crisis***

Of course this implies that we Trump supporters are passive wimps while - if Joe Biden does not win - there will be a violent uprising. There is already a violent uprising - and NOT by Trump supporters!

I suspect that at this point either outcome will result in civil unrest - at best - or even civil war - at worst. The Marxist Left has come to the realization that they are not universally loved and accepted with open arms; they are making an all out effort to force people to endorse Marxism. There is historical evidence that perhaps burning cities and violence encourages people to ask the Marxists to step up and restore order; Nancy Pelosi said as much a few months ago, saying the way to peacefully accomplish anything is to vote Democrap.

That history did not occur in the United States of America! ...not in an America with Donald Trump at the helm! MAGA KAG
