Worried about losing unified Republican power in Washington and mystified at his lack of support among the public, President Donald Trump keeps talking about not holding the November midterm elections, when Republicans could lose control of the House, Senate or both.

    Yep, the Republican party has known since at least the Obama years that they can do whatever they want and the Democrats will (at most) complain how hypocritical they’re being. This is the logical next step.

    “Trump” trying to cancel the election is the Republican party trying to cancel the elections. He is just the frontman for a power apparatus that has been working toward this very moment for 50 years. After all, only a handful of principled Republican legislators (lol. lmao.) would be needed to stop everything he’s doing. But we don’t see that. Why not? They are so close to never having to worry about reelection again—they’re certainly not going to stop now.

      It’s not the democrats job to check these actions, it’s the other 3 letter departments that are carrying out his illegal actions.
