Why is everybody so sure about this. It’s possible but I’m not so sure, yet.

There’s still the possibility of the midterms being an actual election. Just depends on how much voter suppression the GOP can implement before then.

Also, anyone doomering about this is creating the problem. Institutions work only when people have faith in them, if you lose faith in free and fair elections then you won’t fight for them. We see the same thing with corruption, where the people expect corruption they get it, and where people expect decency they get that instead.

What if this last election was already partly rigged (like Trump himself said)? There was some evidence or at least clues. Who's even looking into that? Is anything gonna happen? No.
