My even better what if is what if Trump enacts Marshall Law, bans all results and says he will set a new date. What will you do?


Unfortunately, I think we'll be very close to systemic collapse and war if that happens.

I think we would see a federal income tax strike ("no taxation without representation"), or at least people putting off payments. If a tax strike begins to gain traction, self-interest and FOMO ("why should I pay when no one else is paying?") will catalyze it. To the extent the act of invoking martial law hasn't taken down the system already, it won't take too much of a tax-strike phenomenon to spike bond yields and make continued operation of the federal government difficult. A10-20% dip in receipts coupled to a protest movement and martial law will make literally everyone doubt the stability of the United States.

Very little difference if the Dems win either the House or Senate or both. With a Rep President nothing will be signed into law. Even if Rep keep both houses doubtful much gets done. May be much to do about nothing.

It’s pretty damn lazy alright, but I don’t know about laziest. It’s got a whole lot of competition for that award.

Historically the party in power loses the midterms.

Only eight presidents have gained seats in the midterms.

Bush Jr and Clinton are the most recent.

They’ll blame it all on John Thune, because they don’t understand that he doesn’t have the votes to pass the SAVE Act. They also don’t understand that no legislation is going to save the GOP this cycle.

And for the record, neither will the pointless and stupid redistricting shite. But good job creating competitive seats in a wave year, idiots.

The overwhelming majority of people pay through employer withholding.

No one is striking anything tax payment related.

How? Nothing Trump has done relative to the census will be in place in 2030.

His EO’s and directives to the Census Bureau will all be instantly undone at 12:01 on 1/21/29

So you are saying they will cheat on the census?

Because the only way to curb what is happening to blue strong hold populations is to import illegals.

No. Nothing Trump has done will prevent illegals from being counted in the Census.

FWIW, because the illegals are dispersed across the US, the actual impact of removing them from that consideration wouldn’t have the impact many think it would. So CA, TX, and AZ would give a seat or two each back to OH, PA, NY, IL etc. It’s not some electoral gotcha.

1. Massive deportations - They've not deported enough illegals
2. Arrests - Who's been arrested?
3. Reduce Spending - This has been the biggest disappointment
4. Pass voter fraud legislation
5. Remove waste from government 10-20% of SS payments are fraudulent. They've done zero to stop the fraud and make arrests.



And the democrats, who keep using federal judges to stop 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, are the answer..

An effective POTUS would have worked to have these things codified. Instead, POTUS chose to yell things about mandates and winning the popular vote instead of realizing that he did not, in fact, have a mandate in Congress and thus needed to compromise to accomplish anything lasting.

A 53-47 Senate with a 5 seat majority in the House will never be a mandate.

You are partially correct. People are moving away from blue areas on their own because of Dem policies.

I said the only way they can change that is to import more illegal.

Your hate for Trump is overloading your ability to think clearly.

I didn’t mention Trump at all.
