I have one statement and one question to ask of you, and this is done in the best of faith by someone raised to be moral, treat others well and obey the law.
The statement is this: NONE of us on this thread wants the scenario in the subject article to occur. We all have depended, like the vast majority of our fellow citizens going back to our respective youth, on free and fair elections, of the peaceful transition of power when a person or party lost power, of both parties abiding by the rules (formal and customary) at least 85% of the time, etc. These things have Ssn partly responsible for this nation being the envy of the world, and the go-to destination for refugees and others seeking liberty for well over 200 years. No one wants to see that go away, to have our land, our precious nation, become just another unstable and otherwise crappy country.
BUT...
...now we’re in a situation where powerful people who do NOT share the ideals mentioned above have massively cheated to steal the Presidency. They are intent upon permanently changing our laws, our court system even the very number of states in the union, to permanently solidify and ensure that they never lose power. Their words, not mine or anyone else’s.
Given that background, here’s the question:
If the other side absolutely refuses to play by the rules, and changes those rules so that you can NEVER win, what do you do now, when at least there is SOME power (power legally put into place by past Congresses in the era when everyone pretty much played by the rules) to stop such a seizure of power? What is YOUR plan? You are fine with criticizing the plan laid out in the article - and, again, I would REALLY like to avoid that plan - but what would YOU propose as a solution that actually has a chance to succeed?
Sincerely and in good faith waiting for what anyone has to say that is constructive. Thanks.
I’ll take a crack at it.
While it looks like a steal, and quacks like a steal, it’s only a steal if it can be proven in law.
I prefer the rule of law.
And the Trump team has yet to put forward adequate proof to the law. I believe if they do at some point, he will prevail.
And if not, Biden will be sworn in on Jan 20th.
