    There’s only so much you can do to rig an election. You need it to be close enough that you can lie believably. The polls say that it will not be. At that point you need to basically launch a military occupation to keep power. Trump will certainly try it, but I’m not sure that he’s still popular enough to pull it off.

      Like armed, masked people snatching people? Or like the people he just gave a bunch of money to, or like the forces he used on people for a photo-op?
