46. You are dreaming

Do you really expect Democratic governors to initiate a civil war? That is an extremely unrealistic expectation.

Do you do not believe that Trump would attempt to shut down or overturn elections? Really? After everything we have seen? What do you think January 6th was about?

Do you not believe that if Trump did attempt to shut down or overturn elections it would take very extreme measures to stop him?

Have judicial, electoral, or legislative solutions worked so far? Vance and Musk are now saying that the judiciary has no power over Trump. Do you think they are bluffing?

Has Trump shown any inclination to moderate his behavior? Has he experienced any serious loss of support?

Trump doesn’t have anything to do with states running their elections? Trump doesn’t have anything to do with the authorization of funding by Congress, either. What happened to that guardrail?
