      Eh. There's a little bit of Trump which would actually like to cling on to power I guess, but mostly he says shit like this so he'll be able to whine about how everyone was very unfair to him until the day he dies.

        Yeah, but this sounds a bit different to me than just saying "voting by mail bad". To me, it seems like they are escalating the situation or at least he's testing the waters.

          He'd have to go through congress which means it's not going to happen. This definitely is escalating the rhetoric though, which doesn't preclude him doing other bad stuff

            But what if he just orders his DHS stormtroopers to disrupt elections in urban areas and then to physically protect him in office? Who will do anything about it?

              The US military (especially the higher-ups) would much rather maintain stability by kicking him out for Biden rather than let Trump just coup the government with some DHS clowns. The American Empire is bigger than Trump and his gangs of chuds.

                I agree, the military will go to Biden long before Trump. Not just for stability, but because he backs their interests much more consistently. But imagine the imagery of the military dragging Trump out of the white house. That would have some very serious ramifications.

      No not really, he says stupid shit all the time. There will be pushback and he'll back down. Like almost everything else.

        Plausible deniability for the inevitable COVID deaths traced back to in-person voting centers.
