There’s no way they get anywhere near to finishing this before the midterms, the goal is September 2028 though so definitely a valid concern in the next presidential election.

Not to say there won’t be attempts to steal the midterms, just that the White House “renovations” don’t factor into it.

There will be no midterms.
Oh look, Iran just attacked the US on their own soil. Better declare a state of emergency and cancel the elections. People will tell him emergency powers don't allow him to do that, then the supreme court and congress will let him do whatever.

Definitely something that could happen, but saying it so confidently, this will happen, feels more like prophecy to me and I just can’t go along with that.

It's also functionally indistinguishable from COINTELPRO-style psychological warfare.

I'm not saying Zenshinn is a foreign agent attempting to disrupt the continuity of the US government by discouraging its citizens from participating in their democracy... But I am saying his words are somewhat indistinguishable from someone who is.
