Opponents of Donald J. Trump are drafting potential lawsuits in case he is elected in November and carries out mass deportations, as he has vowed. One group has hired a new auditor to withstand any attempt by a second Trump administration to unleash the Internal Revenue Service against them. Democratic-run state governments are even stockpiling abortion medication.
A sprawling network of Democratic officials, progressive activists, watchdog groups and ex-Republicans has been taking extraordinary steps to prepare for a potential second Trump presidency, drawn together by the fear that Mr. Trump’s return to power would pose a grave threat not just to their agenda but to American democracy itself. “Trump has made clear that he’ll disregard the law and test the limits of our system,” said Joanna Lydgate, the chief executive of States United Democracy Center, a nonpartisan democracy watchdog organization that works with state officials in both parties. “What we’re staring down is extremely dark.” While the Supreme Court on Thursday rejected an attempt to nullify federal approval of the abortion pill mifepristone, liberals fear a new Trump administration could rescind the approval or use a 19th-century morality law to criminalize sending it across state lines. The Democratic governor of Washington State, Jay Inslee, said he had secured a large enough supply of mifepristone pills to preserve access for women in his state through a second Trump administration. The supply is locked away at a state warehouse. “We have it physically in the state of Washington, which could stop him and his anti-choice forces from prohibiting its distribution,” Mr. Inslee said in an interview. “It has a life span of five or six years. If there was another Trump administration, it’ll get us through.” There is always discussion in any election year of what might happen if the other side wins the White House. Such talk has been typically limited to Washington chatter and private speculation, as much of the energy has focused on helping one’s party win the election and develop wish-list policy plans. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/16/us/politics/trump-2025-democratic-resistance.html?sgrp=c-cb&unlocked_article_code=1.0E0.-t3y.INdGRNr06wEW |

These "libs" haven't been informed by their comrades in the backroom yet that on Election Night 2024 it's "not he who gets the most votes who will win, but it's who counts the votes that will win". I don't see what is to stop the cheat of 2020 from reoccurring. The Democrat commies are smart & the Republicans are laid back morons.

Obama unlawfully turned appointed positions into civil service positions.
Now the left is saying Trump will fire civil service employees. These appointed positions, turned civil service employees, were a big part of the deep state/resistance movement that plagued Trump's presidency. |

Then if they still lose they lose their excuse and have to admit that shitty candidates run shitty campaigns with unpopular policy positions and lose elections. It's no different from the people who insist there were results altering levels of fraud but don't care enough to be poll inspectors, challengers, or watchers. |

Combined with "outside" pressure- riots, more BS from the left, etc. The election time period could be somewhat tame and the time after Trump gets in could be more turbulent. I'm beginning to think that may be hold this unfolds. Trump's last year in office wasn't exactly smooth with all the liberal BS. |

Quoted: Something tells me they're going to run way over on the number of votes counted vs number of registered voters in various counties like what happened in a few back in 2020. Of course they will probably just shrug their shoulders and act like it's no big deal again...

This is where we need a new Federal Building where all the bullshit civil service workers can report for duty or be fired. A simple warehouse with metal folding chairs and temp tables will do. 9600 baud internet link.

They’re already preparing to stop mass deportations of illegal aliens?
Let’s deport them too. It would warm the cockles of my heart to see these enemies of America handcuffed, loaded onto a bus, and deposited in some third world hellhole. |

The scare tactics for the democrat's base is ridiculous. Do they honestly think Trump gives a fuck about abortion? Sure, the SC threw out Roe V Wade, but that was because RvW was unconstitutional. If the Dems actually gave a fuck about abortion, why wasn't there ever a Federal abortion bill pushed through Congress? They could have easily snagged some R's to push it through if they actually wanted to do something about it instead of crying about it all the time.

To the best of my knowledge (and I could be wrong) the only states that have taken any actions to fight voter fraud are states the Republicans usually win anyway. Save Florida, which has passed new anti-fraud legislation. Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona... business as usual.

what they should be doing is working on articles of secession in the blue states. they hate America anyway and if they leave they can start their own utopian government, free of the limits of the constitution they hate so much.

Most cases will be tossed but the wackos will never stop. The lawyers involved in this are running scams raking in millions paid by wealthy chaos manulipulators and activists. There are thousands of groups but many are run by the same people, same donors and same scamers. They also have the same goal, destroy America and impose a tranny of hate. There is nothing benign about them. Just as they will never give up, we should not give up either. Freedom is worth fighting for.
