    I don’t doubt there are lots of contingency planning going on, and it’s not always good to make those plans public, but I’d sure feel better knowing there are plans to combat the certain fuckery

      Leading up to Jan 6th there were weeks of MAGA’s posting openly about their plans across social media, then the day came and it turned out there was zero contingency planning.

      The most powerful “intelligence” and surveillance apparatus in history just let it happen… I know this, because I live on the opposite side of the planet, and knew a coup attempt was guaranteed from nothing but reddit links to other social media.

      Main concern is the “Refuse to certify -> Goes to SC -> SC hands the win to the GoP” type fuckery that could happen. No idea what their plans are for that. Outside of that, I assume there will be a lot of military on standby but not obviously so

        SCOTUS better be watching their backs if they pull that shit if Kamala has more than 10% more votes. 10% is a landslide.

          She won’t though. She’s barely ahead in polling and with voter suppression this lead disappears. I absolutely guarantee there will be some votes “lost” this time as well.
