    Ya know I realise this is complete conspiracy theory.

    However, I’m still willing to give a 2-5% chance that if Trump gets back into power, within the last 12-18 months of his presidency he’ll declare a special operation into North Mexico to ‘secure the border’, ‘stop the illegal immigrants’ and ‘remove the drug cartels’.

    Then he’ll claim it’s too dangerous to hold the election, or not appropriate, or whatever excuse because of the special operation. And then he’ll postpone the election with the approval of the SC as a presidential duty and therefore not illegal.

    And I know this is insane but every time I ask myself “would trump attempt something like this?” The answer is always “yes”

      He absolutely would, not even a risky bet. It wouldn’t even be the first time we’ve invaded Mexico to take land (oversimplifying).

        It’s a fucking terrifying thought. I’m not even American but the thought of the (now) power mad and vengeful Trump being in charge of the most powerful military on the planet, backed by project 2025…

              I’m just about willing to rule out this being a problem for places further than the moon, but even that feels optimistic

                Huh. Well Mars is out thanks to Elon. So I guess I’ll see you on Titan or Europa. Both are kinda toxic yet still less toxic than Trump.

        You’re just saying that because we took California from them and because we stole texas from them in a different conflict
