All democracies turn into dictatorships - but not by coup. The people give their democracy to a dictator, whether it’s Julius Caesar or Napoleon or Adolf Hitler. Ultimately, the general population goes along with the idea.
George Lucas
When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right.

Why would he end up in prison? It would not have been a crime when he committed it. That’s what immunity means.
Trainspotters are going to storm the capital when Biden loses.
Hypothetical, yes. Fiction, not anymore.
Then why did they send the decision back to lower court to decide what “official “ acts are?
AOC will not survive after Trump wins.
“Haven’t you heard it’s a battle of words?”
The poster bearer cried
“Listen, son,” said the man with the gun
“There’s room for you inside”
Is this fascism yet, or are we waiting for the trains to run on time?
We want them to do option 1, but know they are going to choose option 2.
Too late. The damage is done. It will take years to reverse this decision.
I vote for #PremierBiden, but can be swayed.
Who are we going to vote for when Trump suspends elections?
I don’t think you’re wrong.
It does appear to be legal now, until the lower court hears arguments, and it goes back to the Supreme Court for a final decision. This ruling seems to be a delay, so that Trump can take office, at which point this ruling doesn’t matter.
I’m going to assume, from your replies, that you don’t think this election is a no-win situation?
But others do, which is illustrated in OP’s Arendt comment. Those concerns are material, whether true, or not. Dismissing vote abstainers, or third party voters, doesn’t address those concerns. Only Biden and the DNC can do that.
Pretty much. The reality that this is has always been the case is finally smacking everyone upside the head. If there is no consistent application of the law, laws become meaningless. Might then makes right, and bedlam follows. America has been on a dangerous path for decades, this ruling is the the turn. Conservatives are displaying that they want Trump as dictator, and will do everything in their power to make that happen.
Biden should use the Emergency Alert text system to let every American know what this ruling means, and what’s at stake.
Or, at least break into broadcast programming with an address to inform everyone.
