Two Weeks Before the Meltdown Begins
RealClearPolitics ^ | 21 Oct, 2024 | Frank Miele

I wouldn’t be much of a political pundit if I weren’t willing to share my prediction for what will happen in 15 days when one of the most important presidential elections in history is decided.

So here goes: Donald Trump will win, and he will win convincingly. But that doesn’t mean the progressive left won’t have a meltdown. Just as in 2016, when Trump was first elected president, the media will be dismayed, the Democrats will be shocked, and there will be protests in the streets, possibly violent. Congressional Democrats such as Jamie Raskin will try to prevent Trump from being sworn in by declaring him an insurrectionist.

Seven so-called battleground states are supposed to decide the election: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona. But even more important will be the experience of the American people, who in large measure have come to regret the election that put Joe Biden in the White House four years ago.

That is the underlying story that the media will never acknowledge. Polling within the last year shows that less than one-third of Republicans believe Biden is the legitimate president, and 36% of all Americans have doubts about the 2020 election. That is only a feeling, not a fact, but feelings decide presidential elections, and the almost gleeful anti-American thrust of Biden’s presidency has given more than 60% of potential voters a feeling that we are on the wrong track as a nation.

Five days before the 2020 election, I published a spoof that proved modestly prophetic as a warning about the pitfalls of a Democratic victory. Called “The Short Happy Presidency of Joe Biden,” it predicted that Kamala Harris would invoke the 25th Amendment immediately after Biden’s inauguration in order to seize power in a bureaucratic coup.

When/if we get POTUS and both houses, Federal law needs to be amended re elections.

States continue to have control of their elections. But if there are any Federal races on a ballot all voting must occur on Election Day, and all tallies must be complete by midnight.

It’s nothing that will compare to the TOTAL RESISTANCE that will come from all the usual suspects.

A true insurrection, the likes of which just might destroy
everything America has stood for until now.

Democrats’ main form of violence will be violation of a fair vote counting process.

Democrats have their base cranked up to volume 11 with hate. The Antifa and BLM brow shirts are ready to burn and loot. Riots will rage across the country. Democrats will try to block the certification of the election. It’s going to be ugly.

I don’t think it will. Did you notice the difference between 2020 and 2024? No BLM or ANTIFA riots before the election, The pro palestinian protest have settled down. The deep state knows they went to far last time and knows the majority of Americans are against them.They know we are onto them, they don’t want to lose the bit of foothold they have. Now what will happen when PDJT starts to deport thousands of illegals, who knows but they know the majority of American citizen are in agreement it needs to be done.

They have to wait until the polls close to know how many in-person votes were cast. Once they know that, they will know the number of cheat votes they need to manufacture for a winner. Then the water pipes break, the windows get taped up, everyone is run off, and the cheat begins. The GOPee is outside wondering how this happened and writing strongly worded letters. Same crap, different day.

Not just Hunter. Joe will have to pardon his whole family since they are all in on the con.

I’m really hoping for multiple cases of apoplexy, uncontrolled psychosis and forlorn misery from Democrats. Tears.....yummy!

I guess I don’t understand the reasons behind waiting until the polls close before the counting begins. This isn’t the 1800’s where the population was less dense.

I understand not wanting to not post results but those E machines are tabulating as votes are cast.

I know there are Freepers old enough to remember watching election night results when they were posting vote totals on chalk boards

County elections offices should start
certifying and counting hand ballots and mail ins at 8 am on election day.

Just my opinion

The Democrats have had at least 2 election cycles to hone their cheating skills, so I have no particular confidence in the legitimacy of the upcoming election.
There should be challenges in many states, and if Harris is called the winner, the Biden administration will begin rounding up people who object, challenge, and blow the whistle. It would not surprise me in the least if members of Congress were arrested and charged with crimes, simply for questioning the results.
We never even take our gloves off, we prefer fair play even against cheaters; so they have nothing to fear except an honest count, and that can be adjusted all too easily.

The Democrats will call for an impeachment in the house on day one if they are in the majority. They will begin hearings within months.

While nothing is certain, I am increasingly confident Trump will be elected. The aftermath will be of course riots, media talking heads exploding, many celebrities promising to leave the US, rumors of secret concentration camps being built and other wild claptrap. Given the animosity between Biden, especially Dr.Jill and Kamala there will be no early resignation to make Kamala POTUS. Biden will pardon Hunter on his way out to a memory care unit in Delaware. There will be a surge at the border before Trump lowers the boom and begins mass deportations. There will be efforts to prevent Trump from taking office including possibly jailing him, but those efforts will be political suicide for the Democrats and only strengthen Trump’s support. With a GOP majority in Congress and Trump magnanimously giving key government posts toRFKJr, Tulsi Gabbard and other Democrats the initial rough start will give way to aReagan like revival of the country. God will again save our Republic.

Stock up on essentials, particularly non-perishable food items. Don’t count on the electricity working. An alcohol stove and a gallon of denatured alcohol from home depot would be a cheap investment. I’ve got two months worth seven gallon jugs of water laid by, and a Berkey water filter as well.

And keep loading more ammunition.
