Former Trump campaign chairman and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told his podcast viewers that Republicans should take Tuesday night’s losses to heart, saying: “The midterms start tonight, and the warning signs are flashing.” He observed that “Democrats just flipped two Georgia commissioners,” marking “their first statewide wins in 30 years.”
Far-right influencer Mike Cernovich (who spawned the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory) tweeted: “Ted Cruz and Mark Levin are walking Trump into impeachments and then prison. 2026 will be a blood bath.” MAGA podcaster Jack Posobiec likewise warned that “2026 will be worse if we don’t course-correct.”
I really hope we’re even allowed to have an election in 2026.
My Spidey Sense tells me he’ll start a war in the next 12 months then get the Supreme Court to side with him on postponing elections during wartime, and then we’ll stay in a permanent state of war afterwards.
My money was on Trump to start a war with Iran in March or April 2026, so things were ramped up before the elections. If the expected wartime popularity bump happens then just win the election, otherwise cancel then due to war reasons.
But I guess it’s looking more like wat against Venezuela or possibly Nigeria? 🙈
No. A presidential election has never been postponed … EVER. There were elections even during the Civil War.
Trump can try this route to stay in office… but he will not be president and his wartime rule will only be as strong as the guards around him. He will become a domestic threat to the Constitution if he tries to stay in office unelected.
Uh… The dude already tried to stay in office unelected. That’s what the Jan 6 riot was. He faced no consequences, and then got elected again.
Didn’t stay in office tho
We will see if the guardrails hold again.
The military basically removed him from power quietly after Jan 6 and worked with Pelosi to do the transition
Got a sauce for that?
Nope. When I said quietly, I meant it… This got very little media attention. Also, search is pretty much dead at this point, I can’t find shit I read a week ago - there’s too many results around Jan 6 no matter how specific I query it
But essentially, the top brass created a voicemail for trump, there’s a bunch of deleted texts between the military and secret service, and then Trump was conspicuously absent during the handover process
If he stays in office one day past his term he is automatically a threat to the Constitution.
That would mean violence becomes a legal and necessary option.
Big talk but nothing well happen. He’s been trouncing on your constitution gor the last year and nobody has done anything. For all the bluster if Americans that’s all it is.
By that day the constitution will just be another piece of paper he wipes his ass with. Now is the easiest time to resist and stop that future, not once it’s already happened.
He keeps trying to start a war. Other countries see it for what it is and mostly ignore it. Iran, Venezuela, and now Nigeria.
