Suppose Trump used the emergency powers to postpone the election

It is tough to read people online. Many interpretations can be taken from what someone says.
When did someone kill because they didn't want to wear a mask? I never heard of that.

Man, that's crazy.
I think individual stores have the right to ask customers to wear masks. It's their store, and if they are willing to lose the business of those who refuse to wear masks, that's up to them.
But outside of a decision by a business or establishment or something, no one has the right to make you wear a mask. The CDC, the governors, and whoever else have no authority to make you wear a mask.

If you truly feel that way, then I would encourage you to vote for Trump.

I want to get rid of Trump so that the conservatives can come back. Well, I mainly want to get rid of him because I think he's dangerously delusional, but the conservative thing too.

If he does not win, then the liberals will get even worse. There's a reason they hate him so much.

Consider the possibility that he really is a bad president. It happens to every political party now and then.

You won't see the conservatives come back if Biden gets in.

But the OP doesn't say he has that power, either. He would just claim he does, and rely on the Supreme Court to be slow enough in the knock down of his claim to corrupt the election.

...the Supreme Court can issue a decision faster than you might think. For example look up Gore vs Bush - 2000.

The Conservatives will be back stronger than ever if Biden gets in. They'll see the light, jettison Trumpism and be real Conservatives again.

Looks like it's time for the ol' agree to disagree again.
I'm a conservative by the way, and Biden will ruin America.

You're not quite following me here. The conservatives are gone because they've been transformed into Trump sycophants, or just quit politics. Once Trump leaves, they may start trickling back into the Republican Party. (Or not.) Democrats in charge might even motivate them to make a comeback.

I'm a hardcore conservative, but I support Trump. Do I agree with everything he does? No, but I think he really wants to do the best for the country. That's better then any liberal politician, who only care about power and money, and don't have America's best interests in mind.

Trump isn't. He was a Democrat until he started running for President and became a kind of crypto-religious populist.

I know he isn't a hardcore conservative, but like I said before, he wants to do whats best for the country, and what he's done is way better than what any liberal could do.

Trump now saying ‘we may never known the real results’. Good to see he’s getting his pathetic excuses in early. Shame little things like caring about the integrity of US democracy doesn’t mean a single thing to him.

What he says is true. That's what the dems want in case he does win. They want so much confusion that we won't know who the president is by inauguration day, and they will usher in Nancy Pelosi.

Yes, you have decided to buy into a lurid and improbable fantasy of "what Liberals want" and nothing will change your mind.

You are entitled to your reasoning the same as other people who want a different outcome this November.

But consider this. If Trump loses and the Democrats gain just a handful of additional seats in the Senate...the consequence will be a wholesale changing of our election laws such that the winners will be guaranteed never to lose power.

It won't mean the conservatives will make a comeback in the Republican Party; rather, it will mean a one-party state for the foreseeable future, and that "one party" won't be the Republican Party!

There are other countries in which there are elections but the results are a foregone conclusion because of the legal framework in which they take place, and there is no reason that it cannot happen here as well. It's already in the works, in fact.

... No.

That would require a constitutional amendment, and it would have to be ratified by the states.

As Republican policy. From gerrymandering to voter suppression the Republicans are aiming for just that. But hey there doing to prevent the other side from turning the country into a one party sta.......

Oh wait a minute.

You think so? We already have mail-in ballots being sent to millions of people who didn't request one of them or give any reason for needing them; there is a plan that's well underway to circumvent the Electoral College without officially replacing it; and most of the Democratic politicians who sought their party's nomination for president this year are already on record as favoring (an easy) path to citizenship (and, therefore, to voting) for millions of resident non-citizens with more arriving each year. And that's not all.

Do you really think that Conservatives and a significant number of Moderates would stand for that? If Conservatives would give up the notion of using the government to shove an unsavory version of Christianity up our noses such a plan would not stand a chance.

They're standing for it right now.
