    He’s been saying this kind of thing all along, either canceling or rigging the elections. Why is it only a fire now?

      It was a fire the first time and every time since. It’ll be a fire next time too. Likely we’ll continue the trend of doing nothing about it while we slide deeper into Nazism, cuz that’s how murica do.

        So far, he’s just talked about it, and there’s not much that can be done about that, other than talk back. But we all know how he works by now - he floats the idea as a joke a few times, then starts getting serious about it, and then orders Johnson to take action.

        So we talk back, and make it crystal clear what the outcome will be if they try it, and it has never been more important than this. We have to make them understand that we will not accept the cancellation of elections under any circumstances.
