That example is poor justification.

Let me give you a better one.

Trump can arrest the electoral college members from the blue districts under the guise of election fraud. And if that doesn't work, Vance can just pick his own set of electors. Remember, the Supreme court made it legal for Trump to literally drone strike US citizens without legal recourse.

Of course this will cause a bunch of Tumroil, which is good for Trump, because he can just holdon to power.

If you think that has no chance in happening, I envy your optimism.



There are many scenarios that are possible, but this one wouldn’t work for the 2026 midterms.

The midterms are Congressional elections. There is no Electoral College. The Electoral College only functions when electing a President.


Well see, but at this point crazy is full on the table and has a definite chance of happening. I legit would not put it past Trump to institute martial law during any elections.
