    I’m not ready to write him off yet. He’s walking a knife edge right now, and has to be careful. If he deploys the National Guard, or even the police, he’s kicking off a Civil War, and that will give Trump all the rationalization he needs to invoke the Insurrection Act, or even Martial Law. Walz knows we have to keep a lid on things and stay totally on the side of Constitutional law, until after the Midterms.

    I’m still holding out hope that he has a plan once he’s done with being governor. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him run for president.

        I think they will “happen” but they won’t be legitimate. There is going to be voter intimidation across the board, and ICE is going to post up at blue polling locations. And theyre going to continue to try to invalidate mail in voting.

        Pedo hitler can say whatever he wants, but the states run their own elections. If my state suspends elections I will bring a lawsuit for violation of my right to vote.

        They’ll probably take place, but ICE will be hanging out at polling locations to assault/detain/disappear people they don’t think will vote “correctly.”
