    it is very explicitly a power reserved to the states.

    Which is completely irrelevant, if they are declared terrorists that are trying to destroy America.

      Holy fuck just stop talking about US governance if you don’t know what you’re saying. Declaring a state’s elected officials are terrorists or putting them in jail does not remove them from office.

      Edit because I assume I got blocked:

      They may have other ways

      They do not They do not They do not They do not They do not

      For everyone’s own sake we need learn to reject fascist legalese. There are sometimes very goddamn clear lines and you can’t carry their water by assuming they can cross them.

        They may have other ways, under martial law they can do whatever the fuck they want, especially when you don’t give a crap about the law, and only twist it to serve your own agenda.
        They don’t give a crap about justification, they are so far gone now, they often don’t even give a shit about plausible justification. They just use whatever paragraph suits their purpose.

        Of course if try to hold an election when Trump under martial law has said not to. And those are labeled terrorists or enemies of the state, then those officials will be jailed. And jails to keep them are being built as we speak.
