Peter Navarro said Canadian lobbyists should 'get the hell out of our country'

One of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade advisers is threatening repercussions for Canada if it "interferes" in the upcoming midterm elections — though it's not clear what he anticipates the country would do to impact the vote.

I think he's gonna try to cancel midterms and cite Canada being "hostile" as an excuse

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They're gonna cite a dozen different made up excuses why they're canceling mid-terms.

Of course it will all be complete bullshit, and the states will (hopefully) remind them that the federal government doesn't run the election, and will carry on anyway.

At which point ICE will be sent in to "secure" the voting stations.

I bet half the states just let him cancel elections

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He can't cancel the midterms, but he can stir up people into thinking the vote was manipulated, because the GOP lost. See January 6th.

[–] DillDough@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

You need to look into what actually happened on January 6th, stirring up a crowd was the least of what Trump and the magas did that day, there were fake election officials with fake election documents sent into the certification process during the distraction from the crowd, there were even multiple attempts to murder his own VP.

They spent every single second since then ensuring that nobody is left to stand up against them doing it again. Nobody in the system is going to stop Trump, maga, the Heritage Foundation, Thiel, Musk, Putin or Netanyahu from continuing with what they've been doing. There's no voting our way out of this, there's no laws or other pieces of paper in the entire world that can help, literally only one thing can stop authoritarians and fascists once they get control.
