I'm afraid that after the Republicans lose the election, they'll try to poison Ruth Ginsburg, so they can ram another conservative supreme court justice through confirmation, before a democratic majority takes over the Senate, on Jan 2nd. That's another trick Trump may have learned from his puppet-master, Putin.
see, there are people that actually believe this nonsense.

Those are the ramblings of a despot authoritarian.

I agree.

As are most of his supporters. They need to change the name of their party, they have given up on the concept of a republic long ago.

They could be the 'Authoritarian' party.

Well that's what we have come to.

We read fantasies from Trumpies all of the time, they must be floating around 'Q' space by the dozens ... but when a Trump opponent comes up with one it's all 'nonsense'.

Nevertheless, political assassination is still a possibility, that is why the Secret Service budget is so large, we know from experience that it could happen.

We also know that Trump doesn't criticize Putin for killing his political opponents, and Putin wants Trump to win.

So we don't have to believe that a Supreme Court justice or a presidential candidate will be murdered for political reasons, but we can not dismiss the possibility. Trump is so soulless I think he would rejoice at the news even if he had nothing to do with it personally, instead of dreading the long term implications of such a horror for our nation.

If Biden is elected and Trump refuses to vacate the White House, the newly-inaugurated President Biden can simply have the Secret Service remove Trump following the swearing-in ceremony on January 20th. Honestly, though, I don’t think it will come to that. Much more likely that Trump will just check out after the election, and spend the following two months playing golf and griping to Carlson and Hannity. Having the Secret Service toss him out on his can is an image I don’t think Trump could bear.

Stay on point, no red herrings here. Now focus, and respond to what I actually said.

This is fun. Calling troops to beat and gas US citizens to take a virtue signaling photo op holding a bible is a fairly authoritarian measure. Trump is inciting division and violence, then claiming he's the only person who can protect us from that same violence. He's removing from his administration anyone who disagrees, and surrounding himself with relatives. He has more criminal indictments in his administration than any other president in history. This has been seen by authoritarian regimes before.

Om January 20th, he's no longer president until all the votes are counted and it's determined that he has legitimately won.

The same question can be asked of the Dems. What if? They still haven't accepted that Hillary lost. And I doubt they're going to go quietly if Trump wins again.

You missed the point - how idiotic would it be for the first act of a president to do something that is specifically prohibited and are not trained in the task and is not the correct means to do so - you are using emotion to justify illegal activity because of other illegal activity, that is just stupid.
