Hartmann: Will Twit's secret police keep him in power?

Thom comments on how fascist Twitler could use the protests as an excuse to demand Governors declare an emergency to install hand-picked managers in our cities, much like has already been done in Flint Michigan by eliminating democratically elected officials. They lock down the cities so people can't go out to vote. And of course they'll delay any voting by mail. Then these red States will say they can't certify their election results and without those votes Biden can't win. Then it goes to the 12th Amendment, where the States decide who wins. Given there are more red than blue States there it is, a coup.

It's not just a paranoid fantasy, as Thom reminds us it has already happened here in 1876 so there's legal precedent. Don't tell me Barr is not aware of this, and he and Twit are not cooking up a similar scam using shock troops to justify such a scenario. These fascists have no regard for democracy and would not hesitate to bypass it by any means. At least this way it wouldn't be a full on violent fascist takeover that would surely inspire a backlash.
