It will be impossible for anyone to rig our votes if we all come out to vote. Like what happened in Hungary, too many said enough for any doubt to be sown. If ever a political party needed a smack upside it's head it is the republican party. That smack will take the form of everyone of us voting to replace every republican in office that is up for election. We may not replace them all given gerrymandering but we can replace a huge majority of them. It isn't just democrats who are riled up over this. It is independents and republicans who were lied to about what was going to occur under trump. So the groundswell isn't just about politics it is about humanity, ethics, and decency!
For most all of us the trump term so far has been what we expected when he surprisingly won. We knew the disaster to come and after the shock of him being declared the winner we began to dig in and oppose him on every level. As to those who believed him or were indifferent enough to actually vote for him they have another experience. They expected him to keep his promises and be less vitriolic to boot. What they have found, with some still finding out, is he readily willing to break any promise if it doesn't benefit him. As to his vitriol, that has even gotten worse. His core base is still with him for nefarious and ignorant reasons but even that cultish cabal is dwindling.
We must all remain keenly, and I mean deeply aware, that trump is motivated by keeping power. So even if we vote at 99% he will still try to deny the fact of it. But what won't happen is any doubt about our vote. Because we know that we voted to limit his power and if he tries to negate our vote the streets will be filled with torches and pitchforks, metaphorically, or not to confront him! We the people have been patient with trumps and have given them much leeway. However that time has passed and now we are ready to demand our right to contain him when the voting time comes. He had better pay heed to our determination or otherwise he may not like the eventual cause and effect of it all!
