If after November 3rd it becomes apparent that Trump has used fraud to steal the election...

How far will you go to protect our democracy and ensure that Biden is inaugurated in January? If our Democratic leaders - Pelosi, Biden, Schumer, Clinton, Carter, and Obama - all said that Trump was engaging in an active coup - how far would you go if they asked for help?

We really don't have much choice about how to react.

I am not alerting on it, but I don’t mind mentioning that I do not like this thread AT ALL.

But the way things are going and have been going with Barr, with Trump’s attempts to win favor with police and sheriffs... we need to be prepared.

Seems like a lot of our alleged allies have been staring into the abyss too long and are beginning to cast dark reflections themselves.

More likely right now, he will lose the election and then try to get the courts to keep him in power. In that case, if we win in a landslide, and the scotus rules that trump still won, certification of the results will likely still happen, and the overwhelmingly democratic congress will still certify the election in January and per the constitution which is overwhelmingly clear on this, Biden will still become president at noon on January 22

With his groceries standing in front of the tank?

I volunteer for that.

It seems that we are now North Korea, Cuba, Iraq under Hussein, Iran, Nazi Germany, China, USSR, etc. but with a free press.

But because the free press is profit driven, they focus on the sensational rather than the death of freedom. And we as a country see our own undoing on live television with color commentary on the horse race.

...if my wife and I can find another country that'll take us.

I'm sick to death of living in a country with as many stupid, ignorant, and hateful people as has been required to put Trump and his minions in a position where this power grab was possible, even if those people aren't a majority. 30-40% of people being like that is disgusting.

That itself seems a rather salient and necessary precursor to responses from anyone else.

And any other means he can think of. That's what his whole life is all about.
I would trust the names above and I would look to them for guidance.

Don't know how useful I'd be (disabled) but I would do what's asked of me without hesitation to destroy the coup and it's traitors..
