Sorry, yes, parts of this have happened in US history, but not all at once, and not with an openly authoritarian and fascist regime in charge of all 3 branches of the government at the same time, which has made wildly sweeping changes to both our internal policies and also our disposition with our partners around the world.
Nothing like this has ever happened in US history, so we should be very careful about trusting that the “rules of norm” will be followed going forward.
He can do it by declaring a bullshit emergency. He’s been trying to get people to riot in the streets so he can say the democrats are terrorists and therefore a free and fair election is impossible at this time. It hasn’t worked yet but the temperature is getting turned up with the Minnesota shooting.
No he can’t, midterms are state. He can say he’s a teacup but it won’t make it true and he can say there’s no election and yet there’s no mechanism for the Feds to stop it without outright violence.
If there is anything we have learnt from the last few years is that any norm any rule or any law will be broken by Trump. What we are seeing in Minnesota is the FBI taking over from the state because federal agencies have power over the states. Trump controls the FBI, CIA, ICE, National Guard. Mark my words, those midterms will be cancelled unless you deal a massive defeat to Trump now. General Strike.
Attempting to cancel elections? That’s happened before just not in “modern history”.
