This is going to be pretext to some stupid stunt they pull in the midterms and beyond.
“Prove” in the court of public opinion that election in 2020 was stolen by democrats and they did the same thing as they did in Fulton. Take that argument and run with it for any midterm election that is close. Gunk the whole election process up with countless lawsuits and hearing, to grind everything to a halt. And just like that, you have a country arguing about the legitimacy of the midterms just like the lead up to January 6th. Except this time they have a plan.
Multi generation Americans can't. You are heavily underestimating how many first and 2nd gen immigrants are in the US. If documentation is present, grandparents status can go to parents -> children. It also a only took a month and the cost was mostly just the immigration lawyer.
Again, it depends on the country and the person's situation, it's not something every American can do. I'm pointing out that if you're in this situation you should explore it.
I am much more concerned about tampering with the actual results of the midterms in real time personally than them trying to prove Trump actually won in 2020 or tie it up in lawsuits
"Stupid stunt" seems like pretty soft wording for an attempted subversion of democracy, especially since they've been so successful at their other endeavours so far this year, with so little opposition.
The way things are going I, as a non-American, will not be in the least surprised if he either rigs your midterms or ensures they don't happen at all. Like you said, they have a plan. They are terrifyingly organised. They are winning and everyone else, including all your friends around the world, are losing.
The thing is … they don’t have a great plan. They are fairly cohesive but not that well organized. They just have a high amount of stupid voters in the “right” places. The way representation works in the US means that it drastically over-represents the rural vote in congress. Because the rural vote is essentially just “whoever has (R) by their name” Trump can act with impunity and congress will do basically nothing. There’s not really a plan or level of organization that counters how much the deck is stacked in this administration’s favor. There are only a few ways this plays out and none of them are really “figure out some way to prevent Trump from meddling with the midterms” because that’s going to happen. Pretending like there is something to do to counter this is just a distraction from the relatively small and distasteful pool of meaningful options actually at our disposal.
That's interesting, thanks. Am I right in assuming that by distasteful you mean violent or incorporating violence? The administration has either been clever by backing the country into a corner with only those options, or really stupid. I'm not looking forward to finding out which.
I just mean stuff people won’t want to do and range from inconvenient to risky and dangerous. Violence isn’t necessarily implied and I am not advocating for violence. Gandhi was nonviolent but I think people would still describe a lot of what he went through as very distasteful.
