The deep state probably has ballots with multiple candidates ready to go.

The Deeo State will probably fix the 2024 election, but it will be extremely obvious. Their propaganda outlets are held in as much contempt as the Soviet press was held by the Russians under late stage Communism. At this point, the regime may have at best 40% support among the American people, much of that passive. With the exception of Indian reservations, the Black Belt of the Deep South, and college and resort towns, rural areas from Pennsylvania to Arizona are 3:1 or more anti-regime.

Our rulers are in a far more precarious position than their French and British counterparts. They have committed much of the military to overseas duties. The National Guard units, especially in Red states, are unreliable if state governors resist Federal commands. Federal LEOs are outmanned by state and local police by a huge margin. Millions of Americans own guns.

good analogy. And I guarndamntee you if the media and the Demon Rat party had their way, the news about Biden’s debilitation would be snuffed too.

[cowboyusa]

500 million guns. Good luck with that.

Remember when Mao swam the Yangtze? That was great!

Ah, I remember the Brezhnev days! We’d play an annual game of guessing the import of the order in which the desiccated corpses appeared in the reviewing stand during the May Day parade. Geriatrics ruled! That could never happen here...
