You’re making my point. For now, nothing is happening. Pretty soon, nothing will be able to happen. I’ve seen this happen really quickly in Hungary and Turkey. At one point opposition will be shackled.

Also, I think that Hungary and Turkey are slightly different - they rigged the elections, but the US willingly and knowingly elected a dictator via a legitimate election. Much worse.
Ah, I didn't realise that. I'm aware of Musk buying votes and the use of social media to undermine the election, but that just plays to the voters' stupidity, bigotry or greed; theystill vote willingly. I wasn't aware of rigging.
Media tally votes now? How many Secretaries of States or election officials have made complaints? Zero. You’re eventually going to realize that this is the responsibility of some of your electorate.
Hence my question regarding the National Guard. If there are state governors willing to defend their states, the picture might change. Not all will, obviously, but it might have an effect
We do have state govts with a lot of power to push back on the federal govt, which Turkey and Hungary didn’t have. Yes, governors can activate state guards. Yes, they can sue over unconstitutional laws. Yes they can investigate. Call your Governor and state reps (esp if you’re in a blue state)!
Martial law where? In a state where the NG resist them? If the state is resisting federal overreach, the state is surely within its rights to resist? And if the federal government 'invades' (which is what it would be) I wonder what the other states would do?
Blue states would align. New England and CA, OR and WA would become economic blocs. MN and IL and maybe WI band together, maybe join Canada. Im in CO, I’m certain this state would move to a barter system within a week. Partner with NM and join Mexico? Get AZ on board and join CA?
The economies of New England and the West Coast states are larger than most countries. I think together they are bigger than the rest of the country combined?
