For just a moment, let’s take a look at the not-too-distant future.
It’s November 5. Ballots from the midterm elections have all been counted, and the winners of each race have been declared.
The predicted blue wave has indeed taken place across the country, and Democrats now control both the House and Senate, meaning increased oversight of Donald Trump and his administration.
However, later on the evening of the 5th, Trump gives a national address from the Oval Office in which he declares he has evidence of massive fraud that tipped the elections to Democrats. The results, he says, will not be certified or accepted, and he will now govern with emergency powers granted to him to quell insurrections and terrorist threats.
Far-fetched? Not based on something the so-called “president” said Tuesday during an appearance with conspiracy theorist extraordinaire Wayne Allen Root, who told Trump, “You have the right to declare a national security emergency for elections. If you do this in the next month, we will get photo ID, proof of citizenship, and a limit to mail-in ballots…”
Rather than reject such a notion, Trump replied, “Let me just say stranger things have happened. I’ll leave it at that.”
Such talk has former Republican National Chairman Michael Steele worried, and he gave voice to his concerns on the MS NOW show Weeknight.
“What you just heard there was simplistic stupidity, OK?” Steele said. “It was telling the president of the United States something that is just constitutionally and factually incorrect.”
Steele added that when a president is engaging in such “stupidity” and “the best answer they can give you is, ‘Well, stranger things have happened,’ you know you’re on a roller coaster to election hell.”
We all know that Trump is terrified of losing control of his grip on power, and a Democratic win that gives them control of both houses of Congress would pave the way for congressional hearings and even another move to impeach the felonious head of state currently running the United States into the ground.
Donald Trump is certifiably insane. He’s also a megalomaniac who will gladly burn down the globe to save his own felonious ass.
A roller coaster to hell is an apt analogy, and we have to make sure and vote in numbers so large that even Dementia Don will be afraid to try and go against the will of the people.
