What’s the worst that could happen? The election will likely spark violence — and a constitutional crisis (barf alert)

We wanted to know: What’s the worst thing that could happen to our country during the presidential election? President Trump has broken countless norms and ignored countless laws during his time in office, and while my colleagues and I at the Transition Integrity Project didn’t want to lie awake at night contemplating the ways the American experiment could fail, we realized that identifying the most serious risks to our democracy might be the best way to avert a November disaster. So we built a series of war games, sought out some of the most accomplished Republicans, Democrats, civil servants, media experts, pollsters and strategists around, and asked them to imagine what they’d do in a range of election and transition scenarios.

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.

Picture this:

On the morning of Election Day, false stories appear online claiming that Biden has been hospitalized with a life-threatening heart attack and the election has been delayed. Every mainstream news organization reports that the rumors are unfounded, but many Biden supporters, confused by the bogus claims, stay home.

Still, by late that night, most major networks have called the election for Biden: The former vice president has won key states and has a slender lead in the national popular vote, and polling experts predict that his lead will grow substantially as Western states count an unusually high number of mail-in ballots. The electoral college looks secure for Biden, too.

But Trump refuses to concede, alleging on Twitter that “MILLIONS of illegal ALIENS and DEAD PEOPLE” have voted in large numbers and that the uncounted ballots are all “FAKE VOTES!!!” Social media fills with posts from Trump supporters alleging that the election has

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.

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
