If Trump tries to hijack the election, we must be ready.

[Cyrano]

This link to Truthout (a liberal site) is a must-read. Like it or not, we are dealing with a madman who will do anything, literally anything, to hold onto power.

Trump is preemptively sowing doubt about the outcome of the election. On July 30, he suggested delaying the election, although he does not have the legal authority to do so. And he has floated the idea of sending federal troops to the polls (to police nonexistent voter fraud) which would cause voter intimidation.

Citing no evidence, Trump declared on the first night of the Republican National Convention, “[Democrats are] trying to steal the election.… The only way they can take this election away from us is if this is a rigged election.”

Indeed, when Chris Wallace asked Trump on “Fox News Sunday” in late July, “Are you suggesting that you might not accept the results of the election?” Trump replied, “No. I have to see.”

Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen likewise warned during his testimony last year before the House of Representatives Oversight and Reform Committee, “Given my experience working for Mr. Trump, I fear that if he loses the election in 2020, there will never be a peaceful transition of power.”

One way or another, we must stop this would-be Fuhrer, or it's the end of America.

1. Do they say what we should do

[Cyrano]

3. Yes. The last part of the article suggests ways to stop him

Read the article.

13. Well, basically the article suggests that...

unless you're a Supreme Court Justice, elected representative, lawyer ready to volunteer...or have the power to widely influence social media content, the way to stop this boils down to getting prepared to fill the streets nationwide w/ massive protests, more or less as has been done this summer w/ respect to BLM.

2. The TRUTH is, Trump is in LEGAL Troubles....

He loses in November, his ass is grass and the state of New York is a lawnmower. He is looking at Prison. State Prison.

No pardon by either him or Pence will have jurisdiction where Trump is under investigation as head of the Trump Org. he did not walk away from for Tax Fraud, Insurance Fraud, Real Estate Fraud, and Bank Fraud. Cyrus Vance, Jr. and Letticia James are on this.

8. Yep. But first, he must be dragged from the White House

As long as he clings to power, he's untouchable. That power must be taken from him, or he'll destroy us all.

4. Trump is so psychologically deformed, he can't accept or deal with losing

But look at his life, it's a carousel of one clownish loss after another. He really is a mess.

5. Help shut down the freeways

If trump steals the election commerce has to come to a halt. Shutting down the interstates will be a big part of that. All you have to do is drive to some choke point with a few other like minded patriots, stop your car, turn off the ignition, lock the doors, then walk away. They’ll call for the tow trucks and eventually traffic moves again—until others do the same thing. All across the country. Again, and again, and again. Be ready with practical plans like that

6. Don't forget GOP crashed our DU website in 2016!

They must have had good reason to fear what Democratic Underground people can do when we are united!

7. "if" ??

Don't you mean "when?"

[Cyrano]

9. Couldn't agree more

The "If" is a quote from the article at the link.

10. Today must be the day for conspiracy theories...could we please focus on action, donate, phone

Bank, knock on doors, work for your local dem party...please!!


The military brass has sent a strong message to dotard that they have no roll to play in the election

Link to tweet

?s=21

Biden has stated publicly that on 1/20/2021 at noon if dotard isn’t gone, the secret service will be escorting him off the premises

[ElementaryPenguin]

11. Tens of millions of Americans descending upon D.C. should get his attention...

And the Secret Service's and the military's.

When he loses this election - they will drag him out, or we, the people - by the millions - must and will!

12. Are you suggesting we buy guns and ammo?

Fighting an overthrow of our form of government isn't going to be accomplished by peaceful means.
