Former President Donald Trump upends election system

July 2024 will go down in history as the month Donald Trump announced a total blockade of any future participation in government by the American people.

He has said if he wins, there will be no need for coming out to vote again after November 2024. Everything will be already fixed and under control.

On the other hand, if he loses, voting will not be possible, since civil conflict will likely break out to try to rectify that enormous injustice.

I get it. Do you? America has become Trump’s Gaza — encircled, blockaded, under siege from all directions by a politician who will broach no more political defeats or even contests for the duration of his existence on planet Earth.

One interesting aspect of this new electoral reality for America is that children and grandchildren will no longer need to pay attention to social studies, history or law while in school. The education needed to teach people how to govern themselves will be as useless to America as an election.
