Are Trump & The Repugs Bracing For A Landslide Loss In November Or Do They Know That The Election..

is going to be stolen and they'll enjoy another 4 years of power and control?

In light of the happenings in the last few days regarding Flynn and his war on Intelligence; the complete lack of doing anything to minimize the impact of this virus; his lack of caring for the massive death toll this virus is taking; the double standard of WH testing versus testing for the rest of the American People; his pushing to open the economy with no regards for the consequences of a second spike; etc - has he just resigned himself to losing in November and just doesn't care or does he know that they will steal the November election and remain in power? Why is he throwing caution to the wind?

I just don't comprehend what is going on anymore in this country. I just don't get it.

Trump has already shown that that "totally much it up, sue me" plan works for him.

We also have some sealed documents that are not available to the public that describe and allow for some Presidential powers he may know about. He alluded to that not long ago when he said there were things he could do that people didn't know, or something to that effect.

The end game will most likely be intense and probably chaotic. Trump wants to be dictator for life, (having made several gestures and comments to that effect) and his sycophants want slices of the power that is grabbed in the finale. The followers may even be winking to each other about a new order in America that they are the inheritors of. That may sound dramatic and radical, but I am trying to emphasize it as briefly as possible.

We may feel confident that he can't do this or that, but he has already proven that to not be the case. Indications of a loss at the polls will kick his reality TV, tyrant game into full gear and his followers will acquiesce to anything he does. We, on the other hand will be declared enemies of the Regime. Well, we already are being framed in that way. That's a dangerous, slippery slope as history has shown.
