If that happens then yeah the country is cooked. But it's not very likely.
That's not what I'm saying. The entire point here is that he does not have the physical power to interfere in state elections without an act of Congress. The states would arrest any federal agents trying to do so. This isn't a "gentleman's agreement" that nobody is enforcing.
Good luck? He needs ~~75~~ 66 votes in the Senate just to start.
Edit - I hate fractions. It's mutual.
So the problem with a Man in The Middle attack is the numbers won't sync. And not on fancy charts. It's like saying cashier drawer theft would go unnoticed because there's no camera. When they count the drawer at the end of the night they're going to know. When they get the hard copies of the ballots at the end of the night they're going to know.
That article tells me nothing. And yes I'm familiar with the idea of manufactured consent and the history of the business plot. That's not really relevant to actual evidence of hacking. And star link isn't a magical device. It's basically a really powerful wifi router. You could just as easily accuse the cell towers or the ISP cable nodes. There's no magic tech there to get into places unnoticed unless starlink is the only router it ever touches, and that's not how any of that actually works.
Yup and we have to be ready. We can use the filibuster to prevent anything binding.
Action like a famine and oppressive dictatorship that returned them to the system they fought to leave?
I think that was the point. This is a brilliant marketing move.
I hope it's that easy. I fear it's not.
That tracks, I had to deal with people like you when I was a kid.
He can certainly try, but he can't pass laws about elections without Congress, which brings the filibuster into play.
Arresting the party leaders of the opposition also generally doesn't work if you do it more than once or the situation is already very politicized.
At the end of the day it's going to require us to be in the streets no matter what he tries. Our state leaders need to see that they have support to stand up to Trump.

I don't know, I've studied coups and I have a pretty active imagination. In fact I generally have to calm myself down. Which is part of why I know the minutia here.
The end run would be a Saddam Hussein moment, where he had members of his legislature arrested for treason while they were gathered for a speech by him. The particulars wouldn't necessarily match but the idea would be to reduce the Senate to it's quorum number and hold the vote then.
The problem with that course of action is 2/3 of the states must then also vote for it. And that's not a realistic scenario. Especially if he tries to conduct mass arrests to affect the number of sitting legislators there too. Because at that point he's lost all legitimacy and triggered massive protests or a civil war. At which point we refer to case G anyways. (The Go To Hell plan, when everything fails)
Note - it is 66 Senators, not 75. I hate fractions.
