Will trump claim some kind of emergency rule and just allow a million to die?
It sure feels that way as we are struggling what to do with school for our kid. They are pressuring so hard to kill kids, families, teachers....
Is this Putin? Is he trying to kill me, you, all of us?
Are Kemp and DeSantis going along because they were put in office by Putin to kill Americans? Feels like it.

(32,017 posts)Thats because elections are handled at the state level, and not at the federal level. This particular feature of our unwieldy republic makes us remarkably resistant to tyranny.

(32,017 posts)You control your states elections. The President cant stop you, so you will hold your election, no matter what the lunatic in the White House says. You will certify your electoral votes, and they will then vote in the electoral college (for Biden, presumably).
Now, imagine that you are the Governor of TX. Your party leader, the lunatic in the White House, has told you that you should not hold an election. He has no power to stop you from holding an election, but, for whatever reason, thats clearly what he wants. For your part, you know that your state will have NO SAY in selecting the next President if you dont hold an election. Even worse, your state will have NO MEMBERS in the House of Representatives if you dont hold an election. Youll also lose one Senate seat. What will you do? You will hold an election, no matter what the lunatic in the White House says.
The idea that there will be no November 2020 election is absurd. The election will happen. Nobody has the power to stop it. Our Constitution actually works fairly well.

(32,658 posts)My thought is Pootie stopped caring whether Chump wins or loses. As a matter of fact, I'll bet Pootie knows Chump will lose and he won't waste any time or money on it. That's maybe why Chump is so desperate now, he's figured out that Putin can't do a thing to help him.
We cannot let up any pressure - we have to keep our eyes on the prize!

(19,074 posts)Not sure if there is, it could be just Trump's total refusal to admit mistakes were made, and the cult is following him down the rabbit hole of death.
Only thing I can think is that it will get so bad he'll try to cancel the election.

(39,343 posts)If that's not at issues then answer why they are forcing kids back to school when they know it will result in mass death?

(16,401 posts)You give him too much credit. Might be a good time for a mental health news break.

(16,186 posts)The rest of us are saying wtf? They seem to be doing this ON PURPOSE. Why tf would they be doing that??
There are no normal explanations. But creating chaos, population reduction, or other ideas come to mind. Because the way the GOP is misleading on this issue clearly has the effect of maximizing the epidemic.
Failure to imagine evil is a great protector of evil.
