      If he does leave office, it’s possible many people will go after him if they can. I know the SCOTUS decided the president can do whatever he wants with legal impunity, but I am sure he can still be dragged into a lot of legal battles given the extravagant number and level of crimes he is committing on a weekly basis. Why put himself through that in his last few years when he can just stay on top and shit on everybody, enjoying himself with our suffering? This guy is all in, he has made a new playbook for the oligarchy, and he is never going back unless the rest of the oligarchs decide he is a liability. Even then, he wont give up easily. My guess is he will leave the White House in a coffin (either old age or hanged by a mob)

      He’ll try to cancel the election, but the states run their own elections. So at most all hell accomplish is red states not holding elections and the Dem candidate winning in a landslide.

      Then shit really gets crazy

          But it’s the new Congress that would select the President in this manner, and if Red states don’t hold elections, they can’t send any representatives to that new Congress.
