    The midterms are definitely getting cancelled. US citizens need to go all in in opposing this. General Strike now before it’s too late.

      He cannot cancel elections. Elections are state run, congresspeople’s terms still end, and there is no law that says otherwise. We can just go the fuck ahead without him.

        While you are correct, on paper, what you’re describing is just some words on a paper that this administration absolutely does not give a single shit about.

        We’ve never seen anything like what’s happening here in the states before. Never. This hasn’t happened once in the history of the country.

        But it has happened in similar ways in other countries. Using those as an example, we should be very, very, very concerned that he’s absolutely going to cancel the midterms somehow. I guarantee it.

        And if I’m wrong, then thank fucking god. I’d absolutely love to be wrong about this.

        But world history says otherwise.
