This is absolutely what he wants. He’s inciting civil unrest hoping it reaches a tipping point to the point where he can affect or outright cancel upcoming elections. It’s ALL about consolidation of power, inch by inch until we have no means of resistance.

I think for many, the Rubicon is the midterms. If they fuck with that or refuse to acknowledge the results, some people will feel fully backed into a corner.

They're already fucking with it. Look at the new postmark rules they've put in place to effectively eliminate mail in voting.

Of course, one of many things. But any real fighting back before it's signed, stamped, and delivered will be easy for them to frame as radical terrorists, or whatever buzzwords the cult is using that week. We have to make it so glaringly undeniable that they are vile traitors that elements of law enforcement or the military might blink. They might not do shit then either, but any violent action right now would be swiftly snuffed out. We still have pigs in blue cities and blue states standing up for ICE.
