Donald Trump and his allies have begun mapping out specific plans for using the federal government to punish critics and opponents should he win a second term, with the former president naming individuals he wants to investigate or prosecute and his associates drafting plans to potentially invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office to allow him to deploy the military against civil demonstrations.

I would think that if he won conventionally, at that point one would really have to question the conventions.

Perhaps do something a little bit differently.

If, after being so woefully unqualified and demonstrably destructive, a political official is able to either retain or re-attain office, then the mechanisms that made that possible are broken and need fixed.

I appreciate what you're saying though. Also, thanks for your work with BeeHaw. ๐Ÿ
