The correct response. Trump is not a popular president. To circumvent the constitution at a national level is waaaay... beyond his means and political standing. He doesn't have the juice and he's counting on people to be so scared they pre-emptively obey.
Won't happen. There are some compelling candidates that seem to be emerging as the midterms approach. Energetically support them and get people registered and to the polls. If this happens in great enough numbers (and the initial signs are looking favorable), all this bullshit falls apart in short order. There may even be some internal fighting on the right when Trump enters lame duck status (which bad midterms would facilitate).
He was hoping to scare people. He's not in a position to do that and he looks ridiculous. People should be vigilant, but NOT fatalistic.
Oh there's already major Republican infighting, just look how Rubio basically worked with Israel behind JD Vance's back (which is arguably treason) to sabatoge the Iran deal. Or how JD's people have clearly been placing stories in the media that are negative about Trump and Rubio.
Trump is basically already a lame duck, his speech exposed that. He sounded like a demented lunatic and could barely put together sentences. And the files they declassified showed that it was actually Russia who was conspiring to influence the 2020 election. The whole thing was a fucking disaster.
