If the polls show Biden winning in a land slide and then Trump wins.

Then what? What will the American people do? We will all know if that happens it will be because of massive voter suppression. That will be the end of our democracy. What will the American people do? Complain loudly like they do now. Would there finally be a nation wide protest to remove Trump?

during any time of national crisis. Luckily even Moscos Mitch knew this was an admission of guilt and refused to even bring it to the Senate floor. Sadly, I believe it well could have been passed by these anti-American profiteers.

Can you imagine him as a lame duck? This regime will not last out the summer.

We have to get rid of that lunatic before the election. The American people seem to be content waiting until November.

Family dying might loosen the grip of this madness on them. Don't count on it though.

7. What we should do and what we will do are two different things.

I will leave what we “should do” to our leaders. We will see what they do do if and when the time comes.

What we “will do,” I can predict.

NOTHING.

Grumble, moan, declare the end of democracy, have a couple of marches, pontificate endlessly, etc. Yes, we will do all of that, but I would place odds of 7-1 that NOTHING will change as a result.

That said, I think that Daffy Duck could beat Donald Trump in November if Daffy ran as a Democrat, so I am not terribly worried about the scenario imagined by the OP.

Corrupt the electoral system like it's been done elsewhere to again undermine the popular vote. Democrats better be looking into that happening here in Nov.. It'll again be another rigged election by the electoral system.

We will have a 50 state blowout victory IF TURNOUT happens.

Blow the Republican Party so far back in the weeds that conservatism finally dies a quick, well deserved death.
