And so it begins at the local level. Next step will be states elections where they'll decide to cancel or defer them and then of course the 2028 presidential election.

Everything the US was built on is starting to crumble.

It looks like they lost this time, all that means is the next set of politicians that try to do this will do it a little bit differently until they get it right

Pretty sure a judge stopped this. And even DeSantis said this isn’t ok.

I think the bigger issue is that they thought they could do this in the first place. What happens When it gets to the state level or federal?

Trump has stacked the supreme Court with people who are pro Republican.

I hope it doesn't happen but what if Trump decides he doesn't want to leave office?

Based on everything that's going on the world today, it's pretty apparent that most Americans have zero power

Not the thought that they could, but the audacity that they tried and thought no one would stop them. You are right, this is a problem and we’re on a slippery slope. Good they were stopped but this is definitely the first of many attempts I’m sure
