So you can see why this whole "majority rules" notion frightens and confuses him.

do not believe that the Federal government has the authority to make them pay taxes let alone obey the Constitution. The right to vote is not in their interests

He has never been forced to obey any laws by the Republicans in Congress. So why should he start now?

Scary shit going on here.

I believe the GOP is so far down the rabbit hole with crimes they could/would be prosecuted for that if we take the House, Senate and Presidency, things are going to get very scary. It may start the day after the election.

They are doing their dirty deeds in full view of the people. And this is why I think they have a plan for the upcoming election and what follows.
