Okay, I've worked it out.

What happens if the mail-in voting causes a delay that goes past the January 6 deadline for determining whether or not @realDonaldTrump has been reelected?
Keep in mind that mail-in voting determines EVERYTHING.

The only way to steal the election is by REMOVING millions of real ballots and REPLACING THEM with millions of fake ballots.

These are PAPER BALLOTS.
In the past, elections were changed by only a few hundred "newly discovered" mail-in ballots that had fallen behind filing cabinets (giggle) or were left in a mail truck (chuckle) or had been accidentally sent to Lesotho and had been sent back (guffaw).
EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME PAPER BALLOT.

So if they can't determine the race between Trump and Biden, that means they can't determine ANYBODY'S RACE.

You can't certify PARTIAL election results.

It's not allowed. The results must be sent in together or not at all.
What does THAT mean?

NO ELECTION RESULTS FOR ANY ELECTION.

And that's why the Democrats WILL NOT--repeat--WILL NOT try to steal the election.

No election results mean no House of Representatives.
Article II, Section 1, Clause 6 of the Constitution states the following:

"In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office..."
It says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about what happens if there are no election results.

Therefore the official line of succession IS NOT IN PLAY.

Got that?

No elections is not covered, so the line of succession is irrelevant.

Only ONE THING can happen:
In the 2000 election, it looked like the Florida recounts would delay the election results past the deadline.

Therefore the state legislature decided to APPOINT NEW ELECTORS for the Electoral College.

AND THE SUPREME COURT ALLOWED IT.
Guess what?

Republicans control 29 state legislatures--Nebraska is unicameral but reliably red--while Democrats control 19 state legislatures.

The 30 red states give Trump 305 electoral votes.

AND.
Even though there are some Democratic governors, the absolute debacle of having NO ELECTION RESULTS NATIONWIDE would put massive pressure on those governors to accept the new electoral votes.

The Democrats can't risk it.
States choosing new electors is the ONLY answer set in concrete.

The Supreme Court has already ruled that states can do this in order to meet the various deadlines.

Everything else can be challenged in court. It can be stopped by injunctions.

THIS CAN'T.
So if there are no election results for months, Trump and @VP Pence are reelected.

That's why the Democrats won't try to steal the election.

Besides, THEY DON'T THINK THEY HAVE TO.

Biden still has a "commanding lead."

Hilarious. Here's the reality:

The Democrats are DOING NO CANVASSING.

For ANY office.

They erased 2016 from their memory banks and are relying ENTIRELY on polls.

But you can't poll people who won't talk.

They talk ONLY TO Trump canvassers.
When you meet a stranger who turns out to be a Trump supporter, THEY ALMOST COLLAPSE INTO YOUR ARMS.

Finally!

A kindred spirit!

If Trump were bluffing, he'd be setting himself up for the worst humiliation of his life.

He don't play that way.
I watched a video that proved once and for all that the science of mental health has one fatal flaw:

The humans practicing it.

A psychologist I really respect said that Trump CAN'T be using a persona because nobody could keep it up--so to speak--for decades.
The psychologist has hit the wall.

When it comes to Trump, he's blind.

OF COURSE Trump is in persona.

Tons of people have been in persona for decades. MOST public figures are in persona.

This is elementary.
It's called "public identity."

THE PSYCHOLOGIST HIMSELF IS IN PERSONA IN HIS VIDEOS.

Trump spends FAR MORE OF HIS LIFE IN PRIVATE than in public.

For someone as self-disciplined as he is, public identity is second nature.
Military people will tell you that they train and train and train until they don't even have to think about what to do.

"The training took over."

Here's a great description of the utility of personae:
"Persona, in its construction and dissemination, is a characterization of the person, but it is essentially a formation of the self for particular purposes."
Those of us who support Trump know that he honestly cares about us, and he's destroying absolutely everything that oppresses us.

HE'S DISMANTLING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

Therefore the idea that he's a dictator and a tyrant is insane.
"Our democracy can't survive another term of Trump."

No.

Our DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC can't survive another Democrat president.

Biden has promised to govern by fiat, the way Obama did.

Trump has now rebuilt the economy TWICE.
The Democrats offer death, destruction, Brownshirts, unemployment, globalism, and no borders.

Trump offers freedom and opportunity, with the least-oppressive federal government of the modern era.

The Democrats CAN'T STEAL THE ELECTION.

It's not possible.
So put THAT fear out of your mind.

Also, dump the NEW fear that the Democrats will try to use violence to close polling stations.

THAT is terrorism.

All Trump has to do is federalize every state National Guard AND send in the regular armed forces.
He's already invoked the Stafford Act, so he can handle anything.

I await your NEXT fear.

I'm sure it will be as deeply silly as all the others.
