I don't see any blue states going along with any potential attempts by Trump to cancel the election. There is literally nobody who is going to invade mainland USA in the next 3 years. It's just not in the cards. In Ukraine, women my age notice that 10% of their dating pool is gone (dead, moved abroad, missing?). The average US citizen is going to experience whatever obvious false flag, just something less impactful than 2020s "wearing masks", even if that's literally a drone strike from Latin America, and they're going to cancel elections over it?

I still think their play is that if Trump is succeeded by another Republican or if Trump himself becomes too unpopular, they coup him, and we wind up with a military junta. The libs would be so busy applauding their 'saviors' that they wouldn't even notice their rights being taken away until it's too late. I think the capitalists are tired of democracy, and want to be able to drop the pretenses without ceding control.
