7. His position of power is on a razor-thin edge

as far as "traditional" politics goes, despite his "landslide" lies.

He knows his strongest position is as commander of: a) armed forces, b), armed paramilitary forces with 2nd amendment solutions.

I expect him to try armed intimidation. Hegseth has purged honest commanders, and the "militias" have never been honest, just power-mad. They set up armed watches at polls in 2020.

In Georgia he used the FBI to seize and contaminate 2020 ballots. They used a heavily-armed SWAT-style militarized raid, didn't they? He got away with that. Was that a test?

How can we stop armed confrontation at the polls?
