Scenario

Democrats conspired with Deep State bureaucrats to prevent Trump’s
election with the phony dossier. Didn’t work.

Democrats conspired with Deep State bureaucrats to impeach Trump based
on claims Russian Facebook ads influenced the election. Didn’t work.

Democrats conspired with Deep State bureaucrats to steal the election by
falsifying the machine count (as well as by stuffing the ballot box with
truckloads of illegal ballots).

Democrat Governors used the false election result to certify a slate of
Electors.

Republican legislatures adopted their own Electors.

When Congress meets in joint session to count the Electors’ votes,
Republicans will challenge Democrat Electors from the fraudulent
states. Under the Counting Electors Act, the House and Senate will
separately debate the challenge, Democrats will refuse to concede they
cheated because that would blow the whole plan to win by cheating.
Instead, Congress will be deadlocked so under the Act, the Governors’
slates will be counted. A Chinese puppet will be elected President.

To prevent that, President Trump declares there was foreign interference
in this election and Democrat governors conspired with the foreigners to
deprive Americans of their fundamental right to elect their government;
therefore, the Governors are engaged in an act of insurrection and
rebellion against the United States. The Governors’ slates of electors
are illegal and cannot be accepted.

Liberals already have a tame federal judge lined up to sign a
nation-wide injunction declaring the President’s actions illegal and
directing Congress to accept the Governors’ slates of electors. Trump
will declare civil courts have no jurisdiction over states in
rebellion. The Supreme Court will order him to stand down. Trump will
declare it’s a separation of powers issue wherein the Judicial Branch
has no authority over the Executive Branch exercising his Constitutional
Duty to defend the nation from insurrection. The President will ignore
the Supreme Court. If they send US Marshals to arrest him, he will order
military troops to arrest the Marshals and also arrest the justices who
are conspiring with the rebels.

The President will announce that his exercise of authority under the
Insurrection Act will be temporary and will last only so long as
necessary to correct the damage done by the rebellion. He will order
the military to take charge of all ballots in the disputed states and
count them by hand, in the presence of observers who can challenge any
ballot. Protestors or demonstrators attempting to interfere with the
recount or intimidate witnesses will be arrested as insurrectionists and
held indefinitely without trial. The right of habeus corpus will be
suspended in rebel territories until the rebellion ends.

When the ballot contests are decided, and the hand recount of paper
ballots is completed, the President will announce the results of the
election and will end the restrictions. If he loses, he will leave
office gracefully. If he wins, he will appoint Special Prosecutors to
root out the insurgents and insurrectionists.

Democrats, professors, students, the media will scream that the
President has engaged in a coup to overthrow the government, that he is
Literally Hitler, and that everyone who supports him should be fired
from their jobs before their homes are burned down and their children
shot. The names and home addresses of suspected Trump supporters will
be published on the internet. Stores will be burned and looted. A few
looters will stray into residential neighborhoods where they will be
shot dead by homeowners. Law enforcement who arrest those homeowners,
and County Attorneys who prosecute them, will find their own homes
firebombed, their own staff and officers shot by snipers at home, in
their cars and on the streets.

Governors will attempt to call out the National Guard to restore order
but President Trump will have nationalized them to serve under his
command. They will be ordered to protect federal properties and let the
rest of the insurrectionist state burn.

This is the Good scenario. Only a few people die. We avoid the massive
casualties of total civil war. But people will die.

Unless Joe Biden concedes.

What seemed far-fetched a year ago seems “enh, not unimaginable” today.

  1. In his threadjack — Woolly mentions the Covid vaccine. I wonder if Trump will receive the vaccine — or will that be a step too far with his anti-vaccine base…

  2. Regarding the vaccine, I just had COVID, and they told me to make sure I waited three months before getting vaccinated. Since Trump had the disease in October, I believe, his time to get the vaccine is coming soon.

    Nice pot shot, Emery, which is your habit, but if you’d done a couple of seconds worth of Googling, you might have avoided embarrassing yourself.

  3. MO, the numbers I see is that among those who are diagnosed with COVID, about 1.5% die. However, when doctors look at antibody tests instead of virus tests, they estimate that about 5x as many people have had the disease, and thus the overall death rate is about 0.3%, heavily weighted towards the elderly and those with metabolic syndrome.

    So if we find that 1.5% of people now receiving the vaccine are having trouble–for the most part it’s a live virus vaccine so the person is getting a mild version of the diease–the significance of that depends on what the demographics of the recipients are. If the vaccine is being given mostly to oldsters, 1.5% trouble is pretty good in comparison to the disease. If it’s being given mostly to younger people in roles like CNAs at a nursing home, then we might conclude that the cure could well be worse than the disease.

    So we need more information, probably including “what is the problem rate vs. age, blood pressure, blood sugar, and the like?”
