If things look dire for the Dems, it wouldn’t be surprising if there were outbreaks throughout the nation.

I am a bit concerned about some outbreaks in Demo cities. Not so much in the redder suburbs.

I'm more concerned about the immediate aftermath of the election when they realize that their clocks are so clean they'll run perfectly for years.

So put yourself in their position. On election night, it's 1994 all over again. The Democrat Party is no longer a viable political party. At first, denial.

It doesn't match the opinion polls. It doesn't match the exit polls. Something is wrong.

Anger.

The Repukes hacked the voting machines. No, it was the Russians! That's the ticket! It was the Russians!

Out come the "Revote" signs from the closets where they've been stored since 2000.

Illegitimate election! Revote! The Russians stole the election! Make the Supreme Court overturn it!

Once they understand that their fantasy is impossible, they take to the streets.

We can't permit an illegitimately elected Congress, President and state legislatures to meet. The people united cannot be defeated!

Then they attack newly elected officials and conservatives. Bombings. Antifa militias team with Black Lives Matter and hold parts of certain cities. Terrorism. With Congress adjourned and afraid to meet outside the confines of a military base, Trump:

• Invokes the Insurrection Act of 1807;
• Suspends habeus corpus;
• Effectively invokes martial law;
• Asks military veterans to register with their local police department or county sheriff for duty;
• Closes the colleges;
• Starts the roundups;
• Closes newspapers and shuts certain cable channels off from their satellites.

Hitler! Fascism! UN, please declare the US government illegitimate and send a world army here to depose it!

And then the military tribunals begin.
