The Reichstag Fire

Some have pointed, stupidly, to Kristallnacht, but the Reichstag Fire is much closer.

Crossing the Rubicon

This one is a little confusing because while it is often used to refer to an impossible restoration of some sort by the military, it could also refer to any irreversible choice, such as the one made in the early hours of November fourth.

Thermopylae

Thermopylae

The Early Bolshies

Revolver makes the inevitable comparison to the Red Terror.

In REPUBLICAN PARTY OF PENNSYLVANIA vs VERONICA DEGRAFFENREID, ACTING SECRETARY OF PENNSYLVANIA, ET AL. and JAKE CORMAN, ET AL. vs PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY, ET AL. Justice Clarence Thomas, in dissenting from the dismissal of the cases as moot, essentially delivers an epitaph for the Supreme Court and for The Republic.

These cases provide us with an ideal opportunity to address just what authority nonlegislative officials have to set election rules, and to do so well before the next election cycle. The refusal to do so is inexplicable.

One wonders what this Court waits for. We failed to settle this dispute before the election, and thus provide clear rules. Now we again fail to provide clear rules for future elections. The decision to leave election law hidden beneath a shroud of doubt is baffling. By doing nothing, we invite further confusion and erosion of voter confidence. Our fellow citizens deserve better and expect more of us. I respectfully dissent.

Thomas provides some cover for the Court’s dereliction of duty by prefacing his analysis with an assertion unsupported except perhaps relative to some narrow claim:

That decision to rewrite the rules seems to have affected too few ballots to change the outcome of any federal election.

The Duran suggests that the court not taking the cases and leaving these issues undecided will cause trouble in the future, but that argument presupposes that the goal should be to provide clear rules under which a democracy can operate. It seems more likely that confirming that the courts are closed to election challenges will cause the least trouble under the form of governance that actually exists.

Ron Coleman is a lawyer and an election witness. Here he is interviewed by Adam Townsend. There is a lot of optimism, considering the facts of the case.

 

Perhaps, formally, The Republic ended when the Supreme Court refused to hear Texas vs Pennsylvania, but that was a bit anti-climactic. Here is the work of the “ballot wizards of the Midwest” being called contemporaneously.

Sam Faddis, on November fifth, suggested to Take To The Streets. Let Them Know You See Them. Let Them Know They Will Not Steal This Election From The American People. He also summarises the preparation and execution quite well.

Tom Luongo’s friend’s reaction was apparently “Civil war it is then.” Luongo also mentions Larry F. Correia’s: THE 2020 ELECTION: FUCKERY IS AFOOT.

Michael Anton in “Let’s Take Stock of Where We Are” read the situation as it would be quite well and does suggest that the system will have suffered a fatal blow.

Theoretically, it’s possible that a system designed to be gamed and abused won’t be. But a party concerned about the integrity of the system wouldn’t expend so much effort making it easier to rig elections; it would do the opposite.

Far from seeing any effort to explain, all I see is an enlivened and merciless push to ram through the results while censoring and slandering anyone who asks questions or points out irregularities. Either they don’t have explanations, or they don’t care what we think. Or both.

There is something to be said—from the point of view of the powerful—for just ramming things through and explaining nothing. It’s a clear demonstration of who’s boss. It demoralizes the other side. And it’s nearly certain to change the system permanently in ways that benefit the ruling class for as long as they can keep it going.

That may well work in securing the White House this time. But if they just ram this through without explaining what really happened, then the legitimacy not just of our electoral system but of our entire government will have suffered an extreme, and possibly fatal, blow.

Detroit, Michigan was probably not the worst location for shenanigans, but is fairly representative. Some links are repeated from different sources as these videos sometimes disappear.

Except for the extra helping of mail in ballots is was business as usual, apparently.
