that being said, I'm much less apocalyptic than some here about their ability to outright steal elections without people noticing and there being a massive outcry- even if they think they have laws that sanction it.

I have a feeling that most Trumpers and other assorted miscreants taking on these positions will not be able to maintain their positions for very long simply because they're bound to show their a**es pretty quick JMHO
