There is no war large enough to stop US elections without also ending the US. The states run the elections, you would have to stop New York, Colorado, and California from being able to run elections. Not one of them, all of them. And not just 'it's a bad time for this distraction', they would have to have non-functional state governments. The civil war couldn't manage that level of dysfunction or destruction.

We have NEVER suspended an election for any reason, not even during the Civil War or WWII. There is no acceptable rationalization for cancelling elections. It is the BRIGHT RED LINE that signifies the end of Democracy.

No excuse is acceptable. NONE. The end of elections is the official end of America.

She was on Alex Jones's show, so we can see that she's still the same old Empty G. She knows Trump has to leave, and there is no #2 in MAGA, so she's just positioning herself to make a play for succession, or whatever comes after. That's going to be a wild knife fight, I'm really looking forward to it.

MTG's betting that there are going to be a lot of very disappointed MAGats in the next few years.

His buddy Bibi is doing it so why shouldn't he.
