Between rising prices and gilded ballrooms, Trump has practically giftwrapped oppo ads for Democrats.

      This is what I worry is the case. Either he is drinking his own kool-aid and doesn’t realize how unpopular these policies are, or he knows there will be no real election. Either scenario is very bad

        We can assume there will be, at a minimum, highly visible armed ICE agents “guarding” the polling stations. This is why trump is trying to ban mail-in voting, so that only the “right voters” will make it inside.

        We can also assume that will be supplemented with lawsuits, intimidation, reduced numbers (or none) of polling stations in risky areas, and extreme levels of gerrymandering.

        Trump will declare himself the winner before the results are counted, and the paperwork to check that will all mysteriously disappear.
