Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWe are marching into a full-blown "constitutional crisis" with our eyes wide open.
We know it's coming and all we can do is wait.
It would be best for everyone if we took our medicine now and not wait for Donald Trump to call the shots.
We know he is going to call the election "rigged". He already has. As the poet, Bob Dylan once said, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows".
We know which way the wind is going to blow. If the votes are not counted right away, "they" will be cheating Trump and his followers out of their "victory". He will stir the pot into rebellion. He will persuade and convince "his" people that they have been robbed by the "liberal left" and the "fake news". He will create enough havoc that in a few states, no winner will be declared. The seeds of doubt are being sown as we speak.
The election will not be accepted as legitimate by most Republicans, regardless of what they might say today.
Even the Supreme Court will not be able to clear it up. We are headed into a whirlwind of division and chaos, if Trump does not win the election.
If he does win, God forbid, it will be even worse. The people will not stand for another day of this insanity.
The House and Senate could spare the country from this disaster about to happen, but they will not. They will let the sociopath continue to drive the country over the cliff.

November 3rd is the remedy. I'm holding my powder dry and only releasing small amounts of it as necessary until then.

trump can hype all he wants, accuse everyone of anything, doesn't change outcome, especially as we fester 95 more days of COVID and no national leadership. a "magical" COVID vaccine will be release before election day and I will tell you very few americans will take it as all , a PR stunt with little science to back it up and LOTS more suspicions on effectiveness and side effects. . Trump supporter tend to go anti-vaxer so that will be funny as well
