So, is our military going to need to step up to ensure a fair election next year, and also prevent Trump from taking office again? That is, assuming he, A) lives that long, and B) somehow pulls this off. Isn’t that why they are required to swear an oath to the Constitution, and not the President? Does that actually hold any water?

The military? Probably not…

But you might get a federal agency already cosplaying as a para-military group to overlook the election and make sure you’re voting correctly. 👍

The governor of every state has the right to call out that state’s National Guard in the event of emergencies, and it is my sincere hope the states start to do it pre-emptively, NOW, even via state legislation, so that the NG are already under orders to protect the polls by the time November rolls around.

Without the NG, he has nothing tested and true but ICE, and their numbers are shit compared to the National Guard.
