“The election will likely spark violence — and a constitutional crisis. In every scenario except a Biden landslide, our simulation ended catastrophically.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/09/03/trump-stay-in-office/

This simulation from June was equally bleak and that was before the DOJ began sending shock police into cities, the Post Office was compromised, and Trump began encouraging vigilantism from right wing militias. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bostonglobe.com/2020/07/25/nation/bipartisan-group-secretly-gathered-game-out-contested-trump-biden-election-it-wasnt-pretty/%3foutputType=amp
Its actually scary how out of date the June simulation is. GOP has already followed and accelerated worse case scenarios of using federal power to steal the election. They’re now actively encouraging violence to stop protests in anticipation of protests when they contest election

This is also not normal:
“The president’s calls for the Justice Department to target his political opposition in the heat of a presidential campaign is a jarring moment without precedent in modern American history.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-barr-durham-russia/2020/10/09/05ed9842-0a40-11eb-a166-dc429b380d10_story.html#click=https://t.co/xD2fuF6ZxM

All @SenMikeLee did was say the quiet part out loud. He actually did a great service to the public.
I recommend this thread. It will take about 5 minutes. It is important to know how we got to this point and why Republicans are openly embracing fascism. https://twitter.com/jysexton/status/1314218449804156928
