I saw a post on reddit two days ago about them erecting barricades and boarding up the courthouse windows. We knew they got away with it right then and there.

Now, national news is documenting another nation-wide surge in protest activity, just a little more than a month away from the elections. The president of the country is preparing to do everything in his power, which is substantial, to fuck up the elections process. By declaring victory early, he can count only the in person votes and discount most of the mail in ballots, which will undoubtedly skew toward his opponent, and there are many other tricks he is going to pull like selling off the postal office to the lowest bidder. And plus, people hate the other guy anyway.

There's a world historic economic depression, a deadly plague which may kill millions before it runs its course, and tens of millions are currently facing eviction. The homeless, usually, cannot vote easily, so this too plays to the short term advantage of the sitting government. People are angry and well armed and the election regardless of result will result in civil strife and bitter hatreds, long-simmering, are once again and with more force than ever before, boiling over the edge of the pot.

No, this is not my country. It's yours! Lol
