So far, he's just talked about it, and there's not much that can be done about that, other than talk back. But we all know how he works by now - he floats the idea as a joke a few times, then starts getting serious about it, and then orders Johnson to take action.
So we talk back, and make it crystal clear what the outcome will be if they try it, and it has never been more important than this. We have to make them understand that we will not accept the cancellation of elections under any circumstances.
And we also have to make our elected Dems understand that we will not accept their usual cowardly, weak, feckless behavior. If we are forced to resort to violence because of their cowardice, collaborators like Schumer and Jeffries will be considered enemies of the people as much as any MAGA.
