It should be a massive blue wave.
But it might not be counted that way.
Ballots may disappear. Or never be delivered.
Voting machines may miraculously not work in democratic precincts. Voting tallies May literally be changed by hackers from Russia.
So if polling shows a massive trump defeat but we cant prove it then what?
I know what Ill do. But what will you do?

Sadly that may be the only way we may have left to stop thier thievery,lies and tyranny.

(111,104 posts)We will assume the Democrats win the House and Senate.
The House holds hearings to impeach him again immediately after the election. Once the present Republicans have left town, the House passes Articles of Impeachment and sends them over to the new Democratic Senate to hear the evidence. All witnesses will be heard, unlike before. The American people will know everything before a vote to convict is called for.
Hopefully, they will dispose of him immediately after he begins his second term.

(111,104 posts)They could bring forth all the evidence they wanted. Republicans would want to crawl under a rock and hide but there will be no hiding place for them until the truth is given to the American people. Then, they can vote however they wish.

(43,422 posts)the House, nor take back the Senate.
They are going for the jugular with the mail-in ballots. If 70% of Dems versus only 30% of Rethugs (very rough numbers) vote by mail, and the vast majority of live, same day voters are Rethug voters, then it will be a disaster if they (Trump and Rethugs) take out (via a multiplicity of stratagems) a good chunk of the mail-in votes. It will boil down to basic maths. We already know they have, are, and will be purging millions from the roles, plus they already have their illegal gerrymanders in place as well to further aid the systemic coup d'état attempt.
Either way, it is going to be a massive shitstorm.

I will pack Up my shit and get on the road north.

I'm going to stay and cope with what happens.

(2,025 posts)I've got a feeling it will make the George Floyd protests look like a Sunday picnic. Especially if the theft is brazen, blatant, obvious. Which I suspect it will be.

Election night those states are going to be the deepest blue you have ever seen.

(26,044 posts)Bottom line: Hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, will die. And Trump will remain in power.

(36,745 posts)The evidence for this is all of the retired generals speaking out. We may also see a military coup detat.
A stolen election would be grounds for the military stepping in to defend the Constitution.

Could get very ugly quickly. Maybe that is what he wants.
What a nightmare.

(54,770 posts)Im not going to worry about what COULD happen, unless it does.
It didnt happen in 2018, 2012, and 2008. And Id argue the less than 100,000 we lost by in 2016 were self inflicted.

(19,962 posts)do, and he said that he's already said to his wife that he wants to move back home to Ireland. They've only just discovered that a friend of his wife is great friends with a woman who has a nursing agency 5 miles from where I live, and she sure she can get her plenty of work ! So at least they have an escape plan.
