    Right, but almost nothing this administration and government are doing currently is normal or justified. They just do it anyway.

    One of the cornerstones of the Project 2025 plan is making the 2024 election the last one. This is how they get there.

      We just can’t allow it. No cancelling of elections under any circumstances.

      It’s more important that your state authorities understand this, because elections are managed by the states. Trump can “cancel” elections, but it isn’t in his hands. The states would have to cooperate, and what if they don’t? What if they just tell him No, our elections will go on as planned?

      We can have our elections anyway, no matter what he wants. If some Red states want to honor his demand, that’s on them, but I suspect that even Red states aren’t going to like it. There are plenty of ambitious MAGAs who want their shot at the corruption, too. They won’t be happy to know that MAGA isn’t accepting any new elected members.

      And what about non-federal offices, like state and municipal elections? Those jobs have to be filled, too.

      It’s not just a matter of saying no elections, there are a LOT of ripples from it.
