The Washington Post reported that activists are working with the White House on an executive order to declare a “national emergency” over America’s elections and pave the way for a power grab.
“Pro-Trump activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting,” reported the Post‘s Isaac Arnsdorf. “President Donald Trump has repeatedly previewed a plan to mandate voter ID and ban mail ballots in November’s midterm elections, and the activists expect their draft will figure into Trump’s promised executive order on the issue.”
Peter Ticktin, a MAGA activist in favor of the executive order, told the Post that “we have a situation where the president is aware that there are foreign interests that are interfering in our election processes,” and that “the president has to be able to deal with it,” including by banning mail-in ballots and certain voting machines.
Trump is so old. He looks like he’s going to die any day now. And MAGA doesn’t worship his administration team. Only him.
The idea that this ends with Trumps death is no different than leaning on the hope that someone else who isn’t you is going to stop any of this.
Yes, he looks terrible. Yes, it’s entirely possible we wake up tomorrow to news that he died in bed.
But consider what happens next. Peter Theil assumes the presidency through Vance. And Theil hates democracy.
Yup. MAGA doesn’t have something similar to North Korea’s Juche to save them because all Trump thinks about is himself.
