I know some people with something like insider information must be here. The leaked GOP internal polling shows that Trump and his campaign are aware that he’s likely to lose. But the rally at MSG was so vitriolic, and now he’s going to Virginia: people are assuming he’s there to ‘stoke anger.’ But to what end? The parties both have teams of election lawyers; those on the Democratic side specialize in this area of law and have excellent track records. I personally do not think the law enforcement officers tasked with watching polling places or parts of Washington, D.C., are going to sacrifice themselves to a mob or any chaos.
What does next Wednesday look like if this week, one side is trying to inflame its supporters? Will this be contained?
The difference is that we all saw the GOP’s playbook in 2020/2021 (and I am counting the right wing provocateurs that spent the summer before lighting fires and causing violence in order to drive a narrative of a country in flames). We know they are happy to foment a coup, and I am sure Biden/Harris and all thinking governors have plans in place to keep the peace, and they will want to keep the peace. Trump and his weird desire for chaos aren’t in office right now. The Guard would be called up as they were on January 6th/7th to be sent wherever they’re needed.
The maga hyenas know this is probably one of their last big chances. I guess it behooves all of us to have groceries and everything we need for a few days just in case they decide to maga our country. Hopefully enough of our fellow Americans have had enough of the GOP’s insulting and dividing us and vote for Harris/Walz.
