They will question the legitimacy of the postal votes as those results come in, during the next days, and launch an investigation that will supposedly find widespread fraud. Now the Supreme Court will be stacked in Trump's favor. We then have a dictator installed and become a fully fledged annex of Russia.

A majority of five hard-line ultraconservative ideologues, several of whom are already firm backers of the "unitary executive" doctrine giving the sitting president full authority (when it's a Republican, of course). They wouldn't even need Roberts to prevail.

When I was growing up, I never would have thought I'd see this country so divided and so ready to split up, all over a bunch of made-up bullshit. If we're able to lay hold of the monsters who have caused all of this evil to befall us, we need to make examples of them to the world. This kind of shit should not be tolerated anywhere any longer.
